Yes, by doing

  hg update release-3-4-x

Also

  hg branches

shows you which branches are available and

  hg branch

shows you which one you are on.

But again, I ask that no one commit changes to the release branch in
the archive on savannah.  If you think there is a changeset that
should be transplanted from the default branch, then let me know.

As of now, I plan to transplant all the changesets from the default
branch to the release-3-4-x branch since as far as I can tell, they
have all been bug or documentation fixes that should be applied before
the release.  So we will have some initial duplication on the branch.
If I could just move the branch point without causing trouble, I
would.  But I don't think I can do it anyway without direct access to
the archive on savannah.  In any case, a small amount of duplication
won't really hurt anything.

Finally, since the default branch is currently more up to date than
the release-3-4-x branch, and I'm planning to transplant all of the
changset up to now, you might as well just work with the default branch.
