Mercurial refers to git-like lightweight branches as bookmarks [1]. Branches are still permanent tags in the repository.

Commit --amend is now part of base mercurial. Rebase is available as an extension that is shipped with the client, like most advanced functionality. I don't know what add -p does.

"add -p" is basically the 'hg record' extension.

It's more like `git commit -p`. If you abort `hg record`, the selection you've made is lost.
