That's interesting.  It's different than how I normally create my separate
clones which IIRC was something like

    $ hg clone cpython hg32
    $ cd hg32
    $ hg up 3.2

I think if disk space isn't a concern, it's not much of a practical
difference, except perhaps if I accidentally tried to switch to the 2.7 branch
in my 3.2 clone (which I'd assume would fail).

True.  Apologies for the detour.
