At some stage soon we're going to promote the Erlang client to a
supported status so that it has a released version that works with a
known version of the server. No ETA on that though.

IMHO never use tip for any hg repo, because it is a lucky dip. Use hg
up -C default instead, apart from very short periods of time, the
QA'ed default branches will be in sync with each other.

I think the answer to this question is the same: always use hg up -C default
