  hg push

and have Mercurial do

  hg push somerepo; hg push otherrepo

internally. Subrepositories try to solve a different problem.

It it is only push that need to be repeated like this, then I would do

  [alias]
  multipush = !$HG push somerepo; $HG push otherrepo

and use 'hg multipush' from now on.
