I really need to sit down and write a blog post and set of aliases that let you use git-style branching in Mercurial through the bookmarks extension. It's completely possible, it's just not the standard. The only thing I'm aware of that Git can do that Mercurial can't, branching-wise, is pushing deletes, which messes up everyone else's pulls anyway.

What about pushing only a subset of your branches? As far as I know, you can't commit to N branches and then push only a subset of them with hg. There's also the whole index/staging area thing that I use everyday in git. That said, I think they're both alright. I think schacon summed it up pretty well in his talk at pycon: http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/schedule/event/137/ http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/schedule/event/137/

  You mean something like "hg push -B sub -B set"? Why not?
