That is true.  Mercurial branches are permanent and contagious.  The
branch a commit was created on is recorded as part of that commit, so
anywhere that commit is merged to must contain that branch.  For
feature branches, that could be seen as a good thing (an extra bit of
useful metadata).  But it is worth remembering.
