hg clone

Create a copy of an existing repository in a new directory.

• Clone a repository to a specified directory:

hg clone {remote_repository_source} {destination_path}

• Clone a repository to the head of a specific branch, ignoring later commits:

hg clone --branch {branch} {remote_repository_source}

• Clone a repository with only the `.hg` directory, without checking out files:

hg clone --noupdate {remote_repository_source}

• Clone a repository to a specific revision, tag or branch, keeping the entire history:

hg clone --updaterev {revision} {remote_repository_source}

• Clone a repository up to a specific revision without any newer history:

hg clone --rev {revision} {remote_repository_source}
