I suspect we need two : release and current. More than that ... I would
agree...

The usual Mercurial approach to "big picture" changes is to clone the
entire repo (see www.hginit.com, last chapter) essentially forking the
project for the separate development. It's safer (there is no danger op
polluting the main repo) and the changes can later be merged back into
the trunk (or a separate new repo if preferred)

I'm not yet clear how that plays with Sourceforge but the "fork" button
appears to work along these lines (making you a repo under your account)
where you can play, and it does allow merge requests back to the
original (which an admin here would have to perform!)

I'm trying this out with another SF project but haven't had time to
learn it properly yet.

It may contain testcases which Tristan cannot make public domain for
whatever reason...
