Mac OSX command hg branch name autocomplete

We have used the mercurial for our project. I am using hg via terminal for add, commit & push the changes.

While moving one branch to another branch i need autocomplete of branch names.

hg update reg<tab>

It should display the branch name and auto complete that name.

hg update registration

Please suggest is any way to achieve this approach.

Advance thanks !!

If you have setup mercurial with brew and your version is recent you probably have a hg-completion.bash file in your install already.(Otherwise you can download a version here. (I suggest you rename it hg-completion.bash))

Edit your ~/.profile and ~/.bash_profile files and add the following lines : 

if [ -f /PATH_TO_YOUR_COMPLETION_FILE/hg-completion.bash ]; then
    . /PATH_TO_YOUR_COMPLETION_FILE/hg-completion.bash
fi

Open a new terminal tab and the autocompletion should work.
