When I create a new branch with Mercurial, I'm able to pull only that certain branch with :

hg pull -b <branchname>

The console prints the number of the files that had been modified, so not a problem with this.

But when I do :

hg update

The repository is not updated and so I have to merge this new branch and return to "default" branch in order to have these updates.

please what is the problem here?

hg update will update your repository to the tip of the current branch, not to the tip of the repo.

After the pull of a new branch with new changesets, your current repo is assumably updated on another branch, so you can either do

hg update tip

Or better

hg update <branchname>
