Updating Mercurial-hg to a specific date on a named branch

I am currently working on a project that has several mercury repositories. Each mercury repository contains source code for a library or binary, all of which are being actively developed.

You can imagine that compatibility between products created from each repository can quickly become a problem. One way to alleviate this problem is to update each local repository on compatible branches, and then update to a specific date in these branches - with a view that was compatible with branches at any given time.

In the named branch, say, V0.X, in the tag V0.1

hg identify

gives

934ad264137e (V0.X) V0.1

It then updates to a specific date (I still want to stay on branch V0.X)

hg update -d "<10/28/11"

now identify

hg identify; hg branch

gives
