Is it possible to have remote named or local branches in HG?

[Sean Kelley]

For example:

With GIT I can have a remote added.  I can then create a branch
locally that maps to that remote.

Is there something similar to this?

git clone git://mysite.com/data/git/linux-devel linux-devel

cd linux-devel

git remote add linux-stable git://mysite.com/data/git/linux-stable

git checkout --track -b local-stable linux-stable/master



Thanks,

Sean
