I believe branches in hg are somewhat permanent. Your branches have direct, 
one-to-one, relationship with remote ones. Also, you can't exactly remove a 
branch in it, AFAIK. But there is `Local Branch Extension' available.

after using hg for some time, i went for git where branches are more 
ephemeral. no idea why this group shuns git, but i'm in no position to 
proselytise.

perhaps porting fossil (the dvcs) [1] to plan 9 would be a good option?


[1] an unfortunate name conflict -- aside of the fossil archival filesystem 
there is fossil DVCS (by the sqlite guys), implemented in C (probably c99 
flavor)
