...so long as the head of the branch you're currently on is also the  
repo tip. Otherwise, `hg up` bails with

     abort: crosses branches (use 'hg merge' or 'hg update -C')

However, once I had finished writing and announcing the extension, I  
did realize that `hg heads -r .` will do exactly the same thing that  
`branchhead` does. Oh well, it was educational. :)
