As I've noted in the large email I've just sent about DCVS's :-), hg has many more ways to branch than that.

I know that Nick and Bart who've been using mercurial have been using these. I've yet to try and use them in anger - my playing so far didn't get as far as that. They do sound good (like git's staging area). Jifl
