You are the second person I've heard say this, and it is a little
misleading.  At the point at which you hit 'tab' when typing an hg update
command, hg isn't running.  So it can't be 'hg update' that supports
tab completion, it must be your shell that supports tab completion *for*
hg update.  My zsh shell does, while my bash shell doesn't: because I
don't use bash, I installed mercurial without bash-completion.

So: there is completion support for hg update for both bash and zsh.
Not sure about other shells.
