Pull / clone over SSH

Thanks for the tip, that works great!

Another question: BK had a concept of a "parent" repository in the hierarchy.  
This would default to the source of the original clone and would be used 
implicitly as the source argument to a pull / push unless you specified 
otherwise.

Is there any way to do this in hg?  I know you can set aliases for 
repositories - and I don't want to turn hg into bk ;-)  But I did always find 
it quite a handy feature - even if I could just set the default "parent repo" 
manually that'd save some typing in my workflow.

Cheers,
