So you would go to <a href="https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc-dev">https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc-dev</a> and click fork, wait for the fork to complete, then 'hg push ssh://<a href="http://hg@bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev">hg@bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev</a>'. I would 'hg pull ssh://<a href="http://hg@bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev">hg@bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev</a>', then 'hg merge'.</div>
