I did find that I can pull to a headless repository just fine (I did not
try pushing) but I imagine there will be problems pulling FROM this
repository down the road when I pull in new changes to my subrepositories.

I did find an answer to whether a "central" server will work, and the
answer is "yes" by using subpaths:

Is there a similar capability to subpaths, where I could somehow specify an
alternate path to pull from if the primary path doesn't contain the
changeset specified in the .hgsubstate file?
