    Using TortoiseHg Synchronize, clicking "Pull" pulls down the 2nd most recent revision.

    At the bottom of the Synchronize interface is a button, "Update to branch tip." Clicking this button pulls down the most recent revision.

    What is happening here?

    To build on @ptman's comments, you can pull and update in a single operation by using the -u flag, so $ hg pull -u [source]

    Cerberrussian, this is not an answer, it should be a comment. At the very least, please try to put some of the content of that blog in your "answer" so that T.Stone doesn't have to visit an external link to get his answer.
