Thanks for the explanations.  They help.

I don't really know what to expect, because the plugin comes with very
little documentation.  On the parent of that branch, I see this:

  09/29/11 tip:0 105959 eliz at gnu.org [pull] Fix bug #9607 with vertical motion ...

  09/29/11 tip:3 105954 eliz at gnu.org [pull] * lisp/pcmpl-cvs.el (pcomplete/cvs)...

This is a bound branch, and tip:0 and tip:1 were committed by me.  So
why they are shown as "[pull]" and not "[commit]" or "[push]"?  And
why don't I see this revision, which was also my commit (after merging
from the local branch whose tiplog I've shown before):

  105957: Eli Zaretskii 2011-09-29 [merge] Fix the MSDOS build due to recent c...

I guess I'm trying to match the status shown in brackets with what I
did when the corresponding revision appeared on my branch, and create
some mental model of what will the tiplog show me and what it won't.
Sorry if I'm too dumb this evening.
