In TortoiseHg Workbench, if I create a new branch and then push changes, the push begins then a short time later I get a prompt along the lines of:
"This push will create a new branch in the remote repository, are you sure?"
Particularly because of the short delay while it checks with the remote repo, I often find I switch to another task and come back much later to find I still haven't pushed changes.
Is there a way to disable this prompt?
If you're happy that you want to create the new branch in the destination repository, then you can tell Mercurial that on the hg command line:
hg push --new-branch
If you're using TortoiseHg, then you can do it from the thg sync window... there is an options button, which has a checkbox to allow the pushing of a new branch. Or there is on my current version, at least.
