Setting up the Mercurial Repositories for Sumatra

How do we get the initial Mercurial repositories created for the Sumatra project? 

We believe a clone of the http://hg.openjdk.java.net/lambda/lambda forest will be a good starting point.

In addition I have a question about branching.  Assuming the Sumatra project is going to have a main trunk and also some experimental branches that may or may not get merged into the main trunk, is there a page that explains which of the many branching models supported by Mercurial would be used?

>From looking at other projects it looks like separate repositories are made for each branch?  If we went that way, what is the process when someone wants to create a new branch?
