Hg workflow for new (SCM) users?

Hello,
Most of the docs I can find seem to assume the reader is familiar with existing software developemnt tools and methodologies.
This is not the case for me.
Until now, I have been using SVN as a glorified single-user undo system. I did briefly try to use feature branches for large additions, but gave up the nightmare of keeping such a branch up to date with the main trunk onto which I was doing day-to-day development...
Now, I need to coordinate with a second (also SCM clueless) programmer.
Right of the bat, I can tell that SVN is not the right tool. Hence my research into Hg.
I envision us both working the main trunk for many small day-to-day changes, and our own isolated repo for larger additions that we will each be working on.
Is there a HOWTO that outlines a workflow for new users, such as us, that does _not_ assume familiarity with the typical sowftware team workflow.
Thank you,
:)
