that sounds fundamentally incompatible with the notion of branching as

I don't know of a way. Note that the mercurial community seems to have a
passion for symmetry and the lack of defaults. It took them a long time
before they finally made a clone record the path to the parent repo so that
you wouldn't have to specify a repo for future pulls. They generally
recommend using separate trees for maintaining branches (with which I
agree, at least for projects), and all such branches have names (the repo
URL).
I think it's a bit naive and extreme, but I may be mischaracterizing them
to some extent.
But it's also how things are done now with TeamWare, and the least confusing
path (I think).
