I don't see how that branching can possibly be avoided.  Remember
Mercurial is a distributed and disconnected system.  I may tag my
repository while offline, you may do the same.  The possible branching
will only be apparent when we push/pull.

No, I believe in a distributed repository there is simply no way to
avoid branching.  That's a feature.
