The branch-names of local branches are local. These names don't propagate when
you push. They are simply local pointers to certain revisions.
The actual changesets they point to are part of the normal history, though, so
they get propagated, but without the branch names.
The reason is, that you can use local branches/bookmarks as a reminder for
yourself, where you currently are, without cluttering history with stuff which
is only useful (and/or understandable) to you.
If you want the equivalent of local patches in your main repository, please
have a look at the attic extension or at the more powerful but also a bit more
dangerous Mercurial Queue extension (dangerous means that you can rewrite
history with it).
If you want to collapse the local changes before propagating them, or if you
want to work together with others on a patch, you can also use a second clone
with the pbranch extension.
Otherwise you can just work in feature clones and push into your main repo
once you finished working.
