The problem is that even Mercurial advises to execute 'hg update' 
without arguments, see:

$ hg pull
pulling from /tmp/r1
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
(run 'hg update' to get a working copy)

This will obviously confuse users because they will invoke hg up with no 
arguments, potentially moving bookmarks at incorrect places.
