The item "How do I prepare a new branch for merging?" is unclear about which branch needs to be prepared.  It could be the source branch or the destination branch.  In #python-dev, I learned that it's probably the destination branch being discussed here.  This should be clarified (and it could also be pointed out that it is almost always the case that this step has been done by someone else already).

I would also suggest a re-ordering of FAQ entries in this manner:

1st  What tools do I need to merge between branches?
2nd  How do I merge between branches?

And then,
 
How do I prepare a new branch for merging?

With the explanation/clarification.

This is out of date thanks to the rewrite of the FAQ for Mercurial.
