Push creates new heads without -f

As mentioned on this list earlier (starting with
http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2009-July/026719.html ), we have the
same problem at work. I can absolutely confirm this behaviour, since I've experienced
it myself. --force was never used.

It's interesting that it only comes up with an old repository, newly created ones
don't have the problem.

Unfortunately, I can't make head or tail of the python debugger, otherwise I would
have tried to fix it on my own. I'm sure the problem is somewhere inside the branch-
resolving code inside the prepush() function in the localrepository class in
mercurial/localrepo.

The server was updated to 1.3, but the behaviour is still there.

Fritz
