Fair enough.

I prpoposed HG branch because I have no way to create new repos by
myself.  The branch doesn't require a repo creation.  But, an
individual repo is of course a safer and well-checked solution.

Probably it's same to git, too, although git seems to be able to
handle branches better (and easier to repair trees).
