Thanks. That's not what the dev guide says in its intro here:
 http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#getting-the-source-code
(That is, the dev guide has a new sub-audience other than just people new to
Python core development. It also now has to cater a little to people like
me with little Mercurial experience.)
 Georg> This way, "hg push" and "hg pull" communicate with the remote

I don't like that at all.
 Georg> You can still exchange commits with the other local clones by

 Georg> entry in the .hgrc's [paths] section if you want to give
 Georg> nicknames to these path names).
That seems better.
Thx,
