I think your description already falls into the "advanced user" category. The new-to-mercurial committer should (IMO) use a "what if it still was svn" workflow, which uses hg pull/up/commit/push.

This assumes they are accustomed to SVN. I guess not all people are, although it is certainly a common skill.
