I think your description already falls into the "advanced user"
category. The new-to-mercurial committer should (IMO) use a "what if it
still was svn" workflow, which uses hg pull/up/commit/push. That can
only work if pushing really has the desired effect, which isn't the case
for any of the installations that we operate.

When the test-for-two-weeks installation becomes available, the
new-to-hg users will have a chance to learn how to use it without fear
of breaking anything. Until then, they should just remain patient.
