[Python-Dev] hg.python.org should default to defaut, not 2.7

If one goes to http://hg.python.org/cpython/ and clicks 'browse', it 
defaults to 2.7, not to default (now 3.3). Moreover, there is no 
indication that it is defaulting to an old branch rather than current 
default, as one might reasonably expect. I found this very confusing 
when I was trying to get a link for a python-list post and the code did 
not look right.

When one clicks 'branches', default is listed under 2.7, instead of on 
top, where it should be.

I hope someone can fix both these issues.
