A workaround for this could be to provide a separate repository for
users to browse, currently this is done for the stable branch in
Mercurial's main and crew repositories.

In the crew repository I have the following hook:

changegroup.stable = hg push -qf -r stable ../crew-stable || true

This way the stable changesets of pushes to crew are forwarded to
the crew-stable repository for people to look at.
