Talk: What every programmer should know about merging branches in Mercurial

Using named branches in Mercurial can be rather difficult especially when it gets to merging these branches.

You can find some of them in the talk slides I did on Oct 11, 2012 here at Quickoffice(aka DoctorMobile). It doesn't restrain any development flow and can be useful for any Mercurial (or even non-Mercurial) user. For those who are not familiar with Mercurial at all I recommend to read some guides before looking at the slides.
