Working with Mercurial topic branches

[johbo]

I am trying to interact with topic branches from Mercurial repositories and I was not yet able to find out if they are supported and how to interact with them.

Background / Context:

• I am trying to interact with Mercurial repositories on heptapod, the merge request workflow is implemented based on topic branches.
• Details - https://heptapod.net/pages/quick-start-guide

What I have observed is that I see the topic branches in the clone which I made via git. I was not yet able to push to a new topic branch from git though.

Is this already a supported feature or did anyone already figure out a way to successfully interact with those branches from git via git-remote-hg?

I started working on support for topic branches a while ago, but I haven't worked on git-remote-hg recently.

I've pushed the topic branch, you can give it a try and see if it works correctly for you and what features are missing: https://github.com/felipec/git-remote-hg/tree/topic

It seems to be a really useful feature that I would like to get into the master branch as soon as possible.
