[Python-Dev] Using feature branches for local development

I'm experimenting with creating some local branches for things I'd
like to work on during the sprints this week, and have a couple of
questions about the associated workflow.

1. While the feature branches are active, is it correct that I can't
use a bare "hg push" any more, since I don't want to push the feature
branches to hg.python.org? Instead, I need to name all the branches I
want to push explicitly.

2. Once I'm done with the feature branch, I need to nuke it somehow
(e.g. by enabling the mq extension to gain access to "hg strip"
command)

If those are both accurate, I may actually create a new subclone,
leaving the main local repository with only the changes I actually
want to push upstream.

Cheers,
Nick.
