Are you familiar with the essential but widely-underappreciated 'hg
parents' command?

Mercurial never updates the remote working directory on push. There are
numerous reasons for this:

- someone may be trying to do -work- in that working directory if there
is one
- updating is a potentially interactive process which can't be done
remotely
- many if not most remote repos have no need of a working directory.
