Yes, I have tried it.  As you say, it doesn't handle branches.  
Unfortunately
for me, this is entirely a political issue and not a technical issue or 
I would
have used it.  What makes it even harder is that Arch has very powerful
branching capabilities which I'm having trouble matching even with the
new Mercurial branching code.
