mkdir test_remote
cd test_remote
hg init
hg pull existing_remote_repo (bitbucket, ssh, etc)
Is it a bad thing? Any potential dangers when I start pushing the changes from test_remote? Will there be head difference,generate different changeset, whatever it is?
Doing this way, is it the equivalence of hg clone?
Yes, it’s equivalent to
hg clone. No, there won’t be any problems.
