[pypy-dev] Trouble with first commit

[Manuel Jacob]

Our documentation is not as clear on this aspect as it could be. After 
having been granted access, by default you can only make "short-lived" 
branches (with `hg topic foo`) but not "long-lived" branches (`hg branch 
foo`).

It seems like in your case, it’s just a matter of replacing `hg branch 
build_link_fix` with `hg topic build_link_fix`. You can also change it 
after the fact:

* (Your changeset has hash a2ceee6a2d79.)
* First, you can reset the branch: `hg branch default -r a2ceee6a2d79`. 
Now, your changeset has a new hash.
* Then, you can set the topic `hg topic build_link_fix -r <new hash>`.

If you already have multiple changesets, you can pass `-r` multiple 
times or pass a revset.
