Function: vc-hg-topic-outgoing-base

vc-hg-topic-outgoing-base is a byte-compiled function defined in vc-hg.el.gz.

Signature

(vc-hg-topic-outgoing-base)

Documentation

Return outgoing base for current commit considered as a topic branch.

The current implementation always returns the name of the current branch, meaning to query the remote head for the current branch
(and not any active bookmark if it also exists remotely).
This is based on the following assumptions:
(i) if there is an active bookmark, it will eventually be merged into
    whatever the remote head is
(ii) there is only one remote head for the current branch.
