I think setting a branch name for 0.9 *now* is rather bad idea, IMHO.
This should simply be the default branch now.
Main development ("trunk") should happen in default branch.
This also fits with what you get when you do a fresh clone: Mercurial
updates to the tip of default branch.
Feature freeze of 0.9 should be the earliest birthday of the 0.9 branch.

I don't care.
