Unless you pass '--overwrite' to either of them, you won't _lose_
history[0].  However, if there are revisions to be pushed or pulled,
then they will _alter_ history, by adding new revisions.  This isn't as
bad as losing history, but it's still not something it should be easy
to do accidentally.

[Footnote 0: By "lose history" I mean "the revisions in the branch's
             history will be changed".  The revisions themselves will
             still exist in the repository.]
