Funny, but I am not a Git user, that's why I am trying to pave my path
with HG-based solution. =) I believe the high-level concept is more widely
known as "feature branches", and Mercurial support for this concept is
kind of messy. If bookmarks is not the best way to handle feature
branches in Mercurial, let me know - I may have missed something again.
