hg-clone: Clone a repository up to a specific revision without any newer history.

$ hg clone --rev ${revision} ${remote_repository_source}

try on your machine

The command "hg clone --rev ${revision} ${remote_repository_source}" is used to clone a remote Mercurial (Hg) repository and checkout a specific revision.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

hg clone: This is the command to clone a Mercurial repository.
--rev ${revision}: This flag specifies the revision to check out. The ${revision} placeholder refers to the specific revision you want to clone. For example, it could be a revision number, a branch name, or a tag label.
${remote_repository_source}: This is the URL or path to the remote repository you want to clone. The ${remote_repository_source} placeholder represents the source of the repository.

When you run this command, it will create a new local copy of the remote repository, including all its revision history. The clone will be based on the specified revision, meaning that the working directory will be set to that revision's state.
