If no bookmarks are activated, no bookmarks will be updated when changes are
made, right?

But what rev will be checked out?  The latest rev?  Which might be from the
gh-pages bookmark instead of the master bookmark?

If I want to clone the repo and predictably end up viewing the master bookmark,
what should I do?  "hg update master" after the clone?  "hg clone -u master"? 
"hg clone -r master"?

No, I'm thinking about a client that knows about bookmarks, but a local
repository that hasn't yet seen the bookmarks and is about to see them for the
first time as they're pulled from the remote.  What bookmark will be activated,
if any, and what revision will be checked out?

I guess if the client already knows about bookmarks, whatever bookmark is
activated before the pull will still be activated after the pull, right?
