Mercurial topics workflow

Question

What should be the correct workflow to deal with Mercurial topics please? Let's suppose another developer pushed topic t1, How do I:

• retrieve a topic t1?
• add my work on t1 topic,
• push t1 topic?

Context:

I'm trying to collaborate with other developers. On Heptapod, you collaborate by sending merge requests. To send a merge request, you need to work using Mercurial topics.

One of the developers pushed a topic branch, I would like to retrieve this topic on my copy of the repository, add my work on this topic, then push the topic.

Use it, as designed, for pure local development

But with non-publishing server you'll have the usual workflow

hg push
...
hg pull
hg up <TOPIC-NAME>
