[issue622] hg init && hg pull -u URL doesn't checkout default branch

[Thomas Arendsen Hein]

New submission from Thomas Arendsen Hein <thomas at intevation.de>:

hg init && hg pull -u URL
doesn't update at all if there is more than one head:
"not updating, since new heads added"
So it either doesn't update or updates to tip of a single branch if all other
existing branches didn't evolve since branching.
I think it should update to the tipmost changeset of the default branch, like hg
clone does since 6cbfa740c129

See issue574 (hg clone URL should checkout default branch like hg init+pull+update)
