I haven't looked at init, but I didn't realize how braindeadedly simple 
branch currently is.

After testing that they didn't enter a url(http://blah/hg), try:

import os, stat
s = os.stat('/')
print s[stat.ST_DEV]
s = os.stat('/usr/lib')
print s[stat.ST_DEV]

Provided your / and /usr/lib are on different filesystems, you should 
get different answers for that stat field.

(No guarantees, I just read it in the python book and tested it on my 
system. Couldn't figure out how to test it on Windows though.)
