Right. Some options:
- update without naming a branch updates to the head of a branch
named in the repo's config file (which could be set up by cadmium).
This might require modifications to mercurial.
- update without naming a branch updates to the tipmost head that doesn't
belong to a named branch. No config necessary, but would need
mercurial changes.
- rely on cadmium to do the right thing, and assume that we're just
always going to use it. No changes to mercurial necessary.
