I know you can write aliases to provide reasonable behavior, but this
doesn't help the new user. It seems like the Hg only option would be to
have one repo that contains only one head ('master' in git lingo) and
another repo that has all the topic branches and volatile integration
branches, with the expectation that any users pulling from the volatile
repo knows what they are doing. This is basically the situation we have now
with release and dev.
