yes. one can also bookmark the public head 'say @publichead' and then
it's just a matter of hg push -r @publichead which can be then aliased
to something informative like pushpublic. if you get used to hg
pushpublic, you'll think twice when you have to do a bare hg push.
reduces the chances for user error.
