After using hg update -r REV it wasn't clear in the answer about how to commit that change so that you can then push.

If you just try to commit after the update, Mercurial doesn't think there are any changes.

I had to first make a change to any file (say in a README) so Mercurial recognized that I made a new change, then I could commit that.

This then created two heads as mentioned.

I was then able to push.
