I've been doing some development on a branch and realized that before it could be complete something else need to be done first. I decided that I would branch my current branch and do the requiste changes in that branch then merge them back together and then merge my working branch into default. Basically I expected this:

| | + requiste work branch commit.
| |/
| + working branch commit
|/
+Default branch commit

and in the end what I expect to do is this:

+ Merge into defualt
|\
| + Merge requisite work into working branch
| | \
| | + requiste work branch commit.
| |/
| + working branch commit
|/
+Default branch commit

What I'm getting in both hg view and hg serve is this:

| + requiste work branch commit.
| |
| + working branch commit
|/
+Default branch commit

However, when I look at the commit log "requiste work branch commit" is marked as a part of a different branch.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in hg view and hg serve? Anyone experienced this before?
