Why you don't want to allow disabling "branches are global and permanent, did you want a bookmark"?

[v]

With regards to the question of why we should worry about git users, git
seems to have become the de facto gold standard DVCS. If one model of car
had some controls that differed from the expectations set by all popular
models, you would expect some appropriate warning for new users, without
relying on them to read the manual before doing anything. It is reasonable
that if hg branch is substantially different from git branch, some warning
should be given to new users.

Is it possible to refer new users to GitConcepts? A prominent link could be
added to the download page, but what about those who download hg from their
package repository? (I use Windows, so I'm entirely ignorant as to how Linux
package repositories work.)
