If you had paid attention, you would have noticed that Mercurial did not 
attempt to merge. Rather, it created a new branch head in the remote 
repository.

So this is the "detached HEAD" idea.  Which contradicts the law of the 
least surprise.

I do not think so.  It is "adopting the symmetric mothership-satellite
layout, when it suits the user's workflow".
