Perhaps, but in this case, there should be a timeout and an error
message.

In case the network didn't completely die, hg could also give progress
information (see what curl and apt-get do, for instance) and tell how
many seconds (when this is large enough) since it last received data
(a bit like mosh).

Giving absolutely no information is bad for the user, who cannot know
what to do: Wait? Abort?

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem.
