Because I want to easily be able to just update to a different branch to 
get the few files that has changed and not have to stop all the servers, 
open a new workspace in my IDE and restart everything.

Using named branches make this whole process very easy, in particular 
now that all three developers are experimenting (new technology, new 
application) a lot on each our own different parts of the applications. 
The whole reason for us to try out mercurial was to be able to share 
changes easily without everything having to go on trunk.
