Comment (by marcusl):

 Yes, just omitting the rev will work, which is what the OP said too.

  * A revision string will either be an int, a 12-char hex, or a 40-char
 hex.
  * Branch names could be anything though, so that's trickier.

 One could, of course, run 'hg tags' or 'hg branches' against the remote
 repo and see if it's included in the result.

 I agree with the growing pains thing. I think we should really look at
 repo-caching on the slave(s), in order to reduce this (something I wanted
 to do with SVN too, btw), or just wait for
 http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ShallowClone to be done. :)
