By keeping remotes namespaced and having exactly one branching mechanism?

To start with, 'hg log' shows you all bookmarks. The normal user following
petsc-dev will issue

$ hg pull -u
$ hg log

to see what is new. The fact that many normal commands show all the
bookmarks makes them disruptive. The ability to customize those commands or
modify them to restrict to the current bookmark is besides the point
because the default is overwhelming.
