Issue
We have branches: "default" and "myB"
Into branch "default" was by mistake merged branch "myB".
Solution
One possible solution to solve this is:
Simple description: We will backout merge in "default" branch. Then we merge this backout into "myB" and then we will do "backout of this backout" in "myB" branch.
Exact way how to do it:
${merge} - revision with unwanted merge
${default_parent} - revision of parent changeset of ${merge} changeset in "default" branch
${myB_parent} - revision of parent changeset of ${merge} changeset in "myB" branch
commands:
hg update ${merge}
hg revert --all -r ${default_parent}
hg commit -m "backout of unwanted merge"
hg update ${myB_parent}
hg merge tip
hg ci -m "merge backout into branch"
hg revert --all -r ${myB_parent}
hg commit -m "backout of backout"
