I think this is a feature that should be added to core Mercurial. A few
posts back I suggested it could be implemented as an extension to bundle2.
It could probably be done on top of the classic protocol. But bundle2 has
atomic transfer of push data, making it much better suited for use in a
transparent proxy.

As it happens, I'm working at making hg.mozilla.org globally distributed.
So, I may end up implementing this in the next month or two. Stand by.
