(the devel branch is currently called 'eigen2' indeed, but it will be called
'default' when in production, and the labels will not appear everywhere as it
does now)
What you want is 'cherry picking'. I think the only tool that provide a great
way of doing this is 'darcs' (a dvcs written in haskell, with a very good
technical background i think, but not for production use yet).
I guess the best way to do this with mercurial is
hg export revnumber (choose)
hg branch 2.0 (switch branch)
hg import revnumber (apply)
Another way is to use the Transplant extensin :
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/TransplantExtension
it is standard (shipped with mercurial)/
I've never used it

I don't think this is possible
