Choose Which Mercurial Branches to Push or Pull

We just started using Mercurial on a five person team. We've gone about two weeks and already our checkin graph looks like an NY city subway map. In an effort to try and simplify things I want my team to only check into a development branch when they've actually finished a feature completely. I thought we could use private branches here but I don't see a way in HgTortoise (or hg command line) to hide local private branches from being pushed. Can you do this? Likewise, can you selectively choose remote branches when pulling?

Thanks

-b (--branch) switch to either push or pull. You can use it multiple time to specify multiple branches, e.g. hg push -b branch-one -b branch-two. You can use aliases to specify default set of branches to push/pull, e.g. (in .hg/hgrc)

[alias]
push = push -b branch-one -b branch-two
