Help: clone
hg clone [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST]
make a copy of an existing repository
Create a copy of an existing repository in a new directory.
If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the basename
of the source.
The location of the source is added to the new repository's ".hg/hgrc"
file, as the default to be used for future pulls.
Only local paths and "ssh://" URLs are supported as destinations. For
"ssh://" destinations, no working directory or ".hg/hgrc" will be created
on the remote side.
To pull only a subset of changesets, specify one or more revisions
identifiers with -r/--rev or branches with -b/--branch. The resulting
clone will contain only the specified changesets and their ancestors.
These options (or 'clone src#rev dest') imply --pull, even for local
source repositories. Note that specifying a tag will include the tagged
changeset but not the changeset containing the tag.
To check out a particular version, use -u/--update, or -U/--noupdate to
create a clone with no working directory.
See "hg help urls" for details on specifying URLs.
Returns 0 on success.

repository)
