"hg update tip" will take you to whatever commit happens to be the
highest revision number on your clone. If we spend some time working
on both the stable and default branch, "hg default tip" may switch you
back and forth between the two branches, depending which branch has
the highest revision number. It is because of this that the Mercurial
devs have deprecated the concept of "tip".

You should instead do "hg up stable" if you want to work on stable or
"hg update @" if you want to work on where the @ bookmark is (which
should be the latest default head). If you do a plain "hg update", you
will be taken to the head of the current branch.
