The way I work with the Subversion branches is to have all the active branches
checked out into separate directories under a common parent, e.g.

~/projects/python/py26
~/projects/python/py27
~/projects/python/trunk
~/projects/python/py31
~/projects/python/py32
~/projects/python/py3k

This makes it very easy to just cd, svn up, make distclean, configure, make to
test things.  How can I do this with the hg clone when all the branches are
in the single repository, but more or less hidden?  After doing the 'hg clone'
operation specified by Antoine, I'm left with a single cpython directory
containing (iiuc) the contents of the 'default' branch.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who works this way with Subversion.  IWBN to
cover this in the devguide (or is it there and I missed it?).

Cheers,
