Probably wise, and for many other checks as well.

This is a problem I have with my daily usage of mercurial. It's supposed
to be great to work offline and to commit your intermediate versions
before it's fully working but if you do that, all those intermediate non
working versions find their way into the main repository.

This means that something like "all test pass 100% or close on every
version of the repository" is not really feasible unless every committer
agrees not to have any version in his local repository that does not
break any tests. Which defeats part of the purpose of being able to have
a local repository, no ?

cheers,

Philippe
