We have actually decided on going with a new repository.  The main
reason is for simplicity.  It's easy to see which branch to work on
right from the hgwebdir top page.  We have a working policy that there
should only be a single line of development in a repository.  That
means if there are multiple heads in a repository it means that they
have to merge.  If you have "permanent" branches in the repository
it's more complex to determine whether it's necessary to merge.

As Jim also said in another message, I am able transplant changes from
the old repository using the -s option.
