I've been burned a number of times by hg rebase, losing work in each case. Given that our team only has 3 committers, I'd rather deal with the messy tree than lost work.

The rebase extension for hg is still a bit experimental, at least as I understand it.

It will be much better once changeset evolution [1] is turned on by default in a stable release.

That looks nice; in particular `hg fold` solves the "messy local, clean remote" problem nicely.
