title: List remote branches in Mercurial
body: <p>Is there a way to list remote branches in Mercurial like there in Git?</p>
  
  <pre><code>git branch -r
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to list the branches on a remote machine (e.g. Bitbucket), so using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>hg branches -R `hg showconfig paths.default` --color false
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>fails with abort: repository not local</p>
