I don't know how you chose these letters, but I don't find them  
particularly intuitive to remember.

would be better (IMO):  B stands for "Branch point"
                         M stands for "Merge"
                         H stands for "HEAD"
                         T stands for "Topic"


Otherwise thanks for documenting this, the patch looks fine to me.
