[Python-Dev] hg branching + log question

[Sean Felipe Wolfe]

I'm getting my feet wet with the cpython sources and Mercurial. I'm a
bit confused -- when I checkout a branch, eg. 3.3, and I do an 'hg
log', why do I see log messages for other branches?

I'm expecting different branches to be kept discreetly. If I switch to
3.3, then I expect to see only 3.3 commits and changes.

Also, what does the branch 'default' mean in this context? Since
cpython is concerned with 3 major concurrent release tracks, why would
there even be a default ? Does it just point to 3.4?

Thanks.
