Why do we need a separate repo? Can we not simply close the broken head

Multiheaded repos are evil. They're very hard to deal with, and I don't
think that buildbot can deal with them properly.
Buildbot can deal with a multi-headed Try, so it can probably be
convinced to deal with a multi-headed inbound, even if it needs to be a
special case like Try.
Individual developers might have more problems (they'll want to pull
from inbound, unlike Try) but I think as long as the inactive heads are
closed it won't freak out Mercurial too much... The suggested workflow
with inbound2 would lead to almost-identical multi-headed repos in
developers' local clones anyway.
