Of course you're right.  Always check your sources - code and advice alike.

The mercurial repository has mulitple branches.  Default is a development 
branch.  It is never guaranteed to be stable.  These days it is more unstable 
than usual since it has recently received a lot of new code.

The bug [0] is known and being looked at.

The standard recommendation applies:  for production use one of the branches 
deemed as stable.  Use the default branch  to help find and fix bugs.  During 
a release cycle (alpha/beta/candidate)  use the latest branch that is 
candidate to be deemed stable to help polish it.

list all branches with `hg branches`

the current stable branch is 2010.0.  This you can also download as tarball 
from SourceForge.

2010.2 is going through the release cycle.  It is already declared a release 
candidate and probably safe to use as well.  Unless there are relevant bug 
reports against it, it will soon replace 2010.0.  

default is, as I said, unstable.  Use at your own risk.  Thank you for 
reporting bugs, here or, better, in the tracker [1].

since you already have the whole Hg repo on your disk, you can easily switch 
to 2010.2 with `hg update -C 2010.2`.

even better, you can have them both side by side:

hg clone hugin1 hugin2
cd hugin2
hg update -C 2010.2

assuming the folder hugin1 contains the hg repository as pulled from 
sourceforge.

if you work this way, remember that after hg pulling inside hugin1, you will 
need to do `hg pull` also inside hugin2 for changes to propagate.
