Mercurial: Unable to push to remote repository after pull-merge-commit

Question

I can't figure out why i'm still unable to push to a remote repository:

> hg pull
pulling from ......
searching for changes
no changes found

> hg merge
abort: branch 'default' has one head - please merge with an explicit rev
(run 'hg heads' to see all heads)

> hg heads
changeset:   12942:...
tag:         tip
parent:      12940:...
parent:      12941:...
summary:     merge

> hg branches
default                    12942:...

> hg commit
nothing changed

and finally

> hg push
pushing to ...
searching for changes
abort: push creates new remote heads on branch 'default'!
(did you forget to merge? use push -f to force)

why would that be?

Did you mean 12942 in the output of hg branches, or is it really 12842? — Julio Gorgé, Jun 08 '11 at 22:39

Not sure why, but this solved the issue:

hg push -r tip

where -r is

-r --rev REV [+] a changeset intended to be included in the destination

Though now every time i push i had to specify -r tip... There must be a way to fix it. – Alexei Tenitski Jun 09 '11 at 04:20
Try hg heads and then behead one of the heads – Seun Osewa Nov 26 '11 at 10:24

@SeunOsewa Can you be specific how to "behead one of the heads"? Thanks. – Jens Jan 30 '17 at 15:29
