That was my first idea, but then I realized that the branch includes 1.x
and even pre-1.0 commits, so "2.x" might actually be more
confusing/misleading and hide the fact that the full trunk history is
there.
I think people should simply get used to the idea that "default" is
/the/ main branch in Mercurial (*). It's even easier to remember IMHO
("trunk" sounds a bit obscure at first, for a non-native English
speaker).
(*) but it's not any special really, it's just the branch you get by...
default ;)

Antoine.
