Mercurial & HgEclipse

Steve pointed me to Hg Init, a tutorial on how Mercurial works. I've also found the tutorial resources at the Mercurial website useful as a reference.

The documentation for HgEclipse, a Mercurial Eclipse plug-in, however, has been less satisfactory. There is slightly more documentation at the MercurialEclipse website (HgEclipse is a branch of MercurialEclipse, so it is quite similar), but still doesn't get into the nuts and bolts. For example, what does Synchronize do, exactly? I gather that it does a Pull and a Push, and that the Team Synchronize perspective shows incoming and outgoing changes, with diffs. Still, without a concrete definition, I'm more comfortable using each command separately.
