Meaning of TortoiseHg graph colors

What is the logic of those lines and changeset points colors? Does TortoiseHg automatically assign a color to each named branch? In the same named branch, the lines don't have the same color of the changeset points (like purple points with blue lines), why?

How do I create a branch in TortoiseHg?

Fortunately, manually creating a branch is also straightforward in TortoiseHG (if not obvious). Select the “Open a new named branch†option and give it a name. Then commit your changes as normal. The new branch will be created and your changes committed to it.

I found out why the dots and lines have different colors:

  • Dots follow the color of named branches
  • Lines follow the color of anonymous branches

When an anonymous branch is created, the dots remain with the same color but the color of the line changes.
