title: Capistrano, Mercurial and branches
body: <p>It is my understanding that although Mercurial has support from branches, the community generally clone repos instead of creating branches. Similar to the Darcs model, unlike the Git model.</p>
  
  <p>I'm deploying a Ruby on Rails app with Capistrano and there I'd like to separate the production from the development branch. Should I point Capistrano to a different repo or should I use branches?</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone used one model or the other of branching while dealing with Capistrano? Any problems with either?</p>
