hg-clone: Clone a repository to a specific revision, tag or branch, keeping the entire history.
$ hg clone --updaterev ${revision} ${remote_repository_source}
try on your machine
The command hg clone --updaterev ${revision} ${remote_repository_source} is used to create a copy (clone) of a remote Mercurial repository on your local machine.
Here is a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
- hg clone: This is the command for cloning a Mercurial repository.
- --updaterev ${revision}: This option is used to specify the revision or changeset that you want to clone. The ${revision} placeholder is meant to be replaced with the actual revision number or identifier. By using this option, you can clone the repository at a specific point in time, rather than the most recent revision.
- ${remote_repository_source}: This is the URL or path to the remote repository that you want to clone. It can be a HTTP/HTTPS URL, SSH URL, or a local filesystem path. The ${remote_repository_source} placeholder needs to be replaced with the actual source of the remote repository.
By running this command, you will create a copy of the remote repository on your local machine, starting from the specified revision.
