Thanks for your quick reply.

I don't use bookmarks, only named branches (this is why I use mercurial
and not git 😉).

On the other there is a new feature called topics which is the ideal
combination of mercurial named branches and well git branches (you can
delete them but each change set/commit gets a tag when active).

This however is still not in core mercurial but you need the evolve
extension enabled.

Thanks for the input! I'll ping you when I have something relevant to look at :) 

Side note: the feature you are describing sounds a lot like "git clone --bare + git worktree add $branch", does is not?
