Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

if you haven't committed anything to it, it wasn't really created. so just issue another hg branch newname.

Hmm, it seems I have committed the branch then. Oops. That I can resolve. Thanks for a quick solution anyway! This is still helpful.

in that case i don't think you can since the branch name is part of the revision. if it's that important you could `hg strip` the branch and do it all over again :)

Boo! You shouldn't suggest `strip` without including a warning about the serious and severe risks in the case that other folks have already pulled the repo.

Answer 2

A:

Assuming you have not pushed to a remote repository, enable the mq extension and strip the branch off.

Answer 3

A:

If its already commited:

hg clone -b branch1 [-b branch2 [-b ..]] oldrepo newrepo, i.e. every branch except newbranch, will result in new repo without the newbranch.
If mq extension is enabled then hg strip

Look into editing history before making permanent changes in repository.
