Something which you can do with hg clone is
  hg clone http://my.repo/foo#master

to clone just the history behind the master bookmark from foo. This works nicely with git-remote-hg too:

  git clone hg::http://my.repo/foo#master

gives you just origin/master and origin/branches/default, not origin/otherbookmark. This is a case where it would be particularly nice to be able to kill origin/branches/default and just keep the identical origin/master.

Cheers,
Chris.
