Mercurial has extension support, and one of them (used for example on the OpenJDK project - a "real" project of some size) is "Forest", which does just that: http://www.bitbucket.org/pmezard/hgforest-crew/overview/

Not sure why there are no docs in the hgforest repository though - that seems like a pretty big oversight.
