Question about named branches

[Kai Grossjohann]

First of all, it might work to use the branch name instead of the 
revision.  I haven't tried, though.

Secondly, it seems you are doing the same thing twice, and maybe it 
makes things easier to just do it once.

Specifically, you split the work done by each developer by named 
branch.  Secondly, beyond that, you have different repos per developer.

Wouldn't it be sufficient to have one remote repo shared by all 
developers?  Then you could pull from that, then merge changes from 
other named branches, and when you push, everyone sees your changes (if 
they like).
