Reading the sourcecode 
<https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/buildbot/changes/hgbuildbot.py>, 
it looks like if the hgbuildbot.branchtype setting is not set, the 
branch will not be send to the master. In your case, you probably want 
this configuration value to be 'inrepo'. In a future release, it might 
be a good thing to default this value to 'inrepo'. I guess no one uses 
the 'dirname' branching method anyway ...

Which is confirming my assumption above.
