I have a hg respository located in a ~/Server folder on my computer. when I run hg summary from the root of that project, I get the following:

parent: 98:408483c17026 tip
 final proposal page set up
branch: GS_Clients
commit: 6 deleted (clean)
update: (current)

So I wanted to make a backup copy of this project in my dropbox folder, so I ran :

hg clone <current_source> ~/Dropbox/Repositories/<new_source>

yet when I run hg summary in the new directory, is states that it is at revision 0:

parent: 0:b03c2c025c61 
 inital commit
branch: default
commit: (clean)
update: (current)

I’ve tried all manners of pushing,pulling and updating, but I can’t get the new repo up to date.

How can I make a clone that is up to date, and/or how can I get this repo up to date.

    Your first summary is on branch GS_Clients, while the second one, because it is a fresh clone, is on the default branch. Try hg update GS_Clients.

    The update: (current) line only means you’re at a head of the current branch.

    I figure only rev 0 is on the default branch, and all your other commits are on GS_Clients or other named branches. Commands like log, glog, and UIs like TortoiseHg would have made that pretty obvious, where summary does not.
