hg-stable repo

[Alejandro Santos]

I've just cloned a new fresh copy of hg-stable repo, and after compiling
it the version was the two months old 1.4, and I expected to get 1.4.3:

$ hg clone http://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable/
destination directory: hg-stable
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 9997 changesets with 19904 changes to 1296 files
updating to branch default
1099 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd hg-stable/
$ make local
$ ./hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.4+2-57949bfec718)

It took me a while to realize there's a new branch called 'stable', and
the default branch hasn't been updated since a few months:

$ hg branches
stable                      9996:7c5eb0988e7a
default                     9871:57949bfec718 (inactive)

After updating to 'stable' the version installed is the one I wanted in
the first place.

Is this an issue?
