The easier merging in Hg means that it *is* easy to work offline, or even against separate clones. Trying to keep a clean history in the main repository so committer responsibilities are tracked correctly is still a reasonable goal. > Moreover, you are supposing that the original committer will merge "soon". What may actually be better for buildbot experimentation purposes is to allow us to request running a build-and-test cycle from branches in *any* of the repositories hosted on hg.python.org, rather than having to push experimental changes to the main line of development. (i.e. start moving towards more of a style of development where code doesn't land in the main repository until it has been vetted by the buildbots *first*).
