I don't think this is a correct comparison. The equivalent to that in
svn would be 2 commands

svn update # the hg pull -u equivalent
svn ci # the hg commit and push

The whole point of separating the last in 2 commands is one of the
reasons why I'm suggesting the move, so it's not something bad. It's a
key concept of distributed revision control system.
