Despite being a regular hg user for years, I have no idea how to create a local-only branch, or a branch which is pushed to a remote (to use the git term). I also don’t know how to do this.

Instead of collectively scratching your heads, could one of you guys do the research and figure out whether or not hg supports this workflow?
One of the following two things must be true:

  1. hg supports this workflow (or a reasonable fascimile), which may lessen the need for this PEP.
  2. hg doesn't support this workflow, which may strengthen the need for this PEP.

Saying "I've been using hg for years and I don't know whether it supports this IMPORTANT THING" is not a particularly compelling argument.
