I just merged two branches in Mercurial and pushed the last commit to Kiln. However, when I look at the last commit on the kilnhg website, it only shows two small sections of a file that was manually merged. Is it just showing the parts that I merged myself since Mercurial couldn't automatically merge them for me? Because a lot more had changed than those two sections...

Yes, it does seem like Kiln marks the changes I made myself. Because another branch just got automatically merged completely and I got this:

This changeset represents a merge. Mercurial was able to merge all files automatically, and no new content was introduced.

You are correct. Merges are always required to join two divergent heads, but when changes in each branch do not overlap at all, the merge doesn't show any changes. – adambox Nov 1 2010 at 16:52
