Okay, in mercurial, you have to fork the repository because it's confusing
to have many branches in one repository. So you would go to
https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc-dev and click fork, wait for the fork to
complete, then 'hg push ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev'. I
would 'hg pull ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev', then 'hg
merge'.

In git, you would 'git branch barry/private-symbols', 'git push petsc-dev
barry/private-symbols'. I would 'git pull petsc-dev barry/private-symbols'
and complete the merge.
