Geoffrey,

Yeah, again this is the issue that when you pull (or fork) the tip
will be the last pushed revision. There is no way around it without...

> # update the local branch to dev branch named "yt"
> hg up -C yt

... specifying exactly which branch you want, which is what the
install_script will do with the variable ou found, or you can do by
hand with the above command. But be careful with the -C flag! It can
hurt you and delete stuff you didn't want to delete.

> # commit the change on local machine
> hg commit -m ""
> # push the change of branch up to the fork in BitBucket
> hg push

Exactly. This will commit the change in the yt branch in your fork,
which then can be pulled into the mainline base fork in the yt branch.
