Can't really comment on that, as I'm still relatively new to Mercurial (and 
TortoiseHg). But I do find TortoiseHg very useful (many thanks to Steve and all 
contributors. Great work). And there is always the command line of hg itself 
(which I do use, too -- but less often since the release of Tortoise 0.3).

BTW, did you see the little triangle right to the "pull" button in the 
Synchronize dialog ("hgtk synch")? If you click that, you will see "Update to 
new tip", which can be enabled (is disabled when the dialog opens). This will 
update to the tip when you hit "pull" -- provided that the pull won't add a new 
head. If it would, you will get a nice report:

'''
pulling from c:\Documents and Settings\adi\Desktop\tmp\xxx
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
not updating, since new heads added
(run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)
[command completed successfully]
'''

BTW2: The hg clone speed is awesome now on Windows, even on my old crappy 
Pentium 4 (thanks Matt for the flush fix!).

Mercurial rocks!
