Well, a branch (or named branch) in hg terminology can have several
heads (see the other email about heads and branches).

Also, just so you know, "tip" is simply the latest (in pull or commit
order) changeset in the local repository. It can be in any branch (for
example, if you pull of bunch of changesets someone made in "3.2",
then your tip will be in branch "3.2").

I hope it all starts to make sense ;)

Antoine.
