• Clone a repository to the head of a specific branch, ignoring later commits:

hg clone --branch branch remote_repository_source

• Clone a repository with only the .hg directory, without checking out files:

hg clone --noupdate remote_repository_source

• Clone a repository to a specific revision, tag or branch, keeping the entire history:

hg clone --updaterev revision remote_repository_source

• Clone a repository up to a specific revision without any newer history:

hg clone --rev revision remote_repository_source
