Named branches are exclusive, they can't be a subset of each other ;)
(in other words: 2.7 starts where trunk stops; trunk changesets are
strict ancestors of 2.7)

Maybe I don't fully understand how Mercurial branches work or how it defines terminology (in fact, that is likely :) ).  What's the difference between the statement "trunk changesets are strict ancestors of 2.7" and the statement "trunk's history is a strict subset of 2.7's history"?
