Mercurial Hg No changes found - can't Hg push out

Question

Can someone pls advise why I'm getting NO CHANGES found at the end.

Also, I'm getting an annoying message, " Username not specified in .hg/hgrc. Keyring will not be used. "

Version tool: Hg latest version Server: Linux Workspace: ~/2012WS

LinuxServer123:~/2012WS # hg clone http://LinuxServer123/hg/GigaTest/

You have to do hg commit first.

hg stat shows the changes made to the current working repository (since the last commit) and hg out shows the commits made to your repository that will be pushed out on hg push .

And the message "Username not specified in .hg/hgrc" means that your username is not specified in the .hg/hgrc file. Keyring is an extension I'm not familiar with; presumably it will take your username and do something with a key.
