I like the .hgbranches file.  .hgbranchignore has the problem of having
an unbounded size.  It will also interact strangely with history hole
punching if that's ever implemented because it will mention branches
that may no longer even have any revisions in the truncated repository.

For that matter, 'hg branch' is going to have a hard time telling you
that a branch name already exists when all the revisions of that branch
aren't there.

Have fun (if at all possible),
