Not really - when you're working on a default-only change, push races
are pretty easy to deal with (merge, test, commit, push, no fiddling
about with different branches).

It's only when you've changed multiple branches *and* hg pull changes
multiple branches that correctly sorting out all the heads on each
branch gets a bit tedious.

Cheers,
Nick.
