I think you're missing update,
hg update vim73
which you should do after the clone and before editing any
files. That will select the branch or revision that will be
the parent of your working copy. I usually think of 'update'
as changing my view into the repo, or as changing the
revision that I'm working on, but that's not quite right and
I'm trying to change my mental model and my vocabulary to
match what Mercurial actually does.
indeed -- i started over, again, this time with an update vim73
right after the clone, and i now have my mods to feature.h
combined with vim7.3 and my arguments to configure
thank you gary, that was exactly the step i was missing
and thank you, james, i will examine those links in an attempt to
educate myself

I just added a comment to my wiki article to cover this use case. It is
mentioned, of course, in the hg manpage and in "hg help update" (which
can be found via "hg help") but I often find the Mercurial help and
manpages rather confusing. "A textbook is never complete in the first
edition: the pupils have to teach the teacher" ;-)
Best regards,
Tony.
