Pull existing remote repo into empty repo in Hg

Question

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 ?

Answer 1

Yes, it's equivalent to hg clone . No, there won't be any problems.
