What are the steps involving in hg clone?(Description Inside)

Question

I'm learning the mercurial source code management system and doing the examples using hgsharp.

In that I studied the hg clone ,

done in command prompt as per the tutorial instruction (see the above screenshot), but can't understand how the files are creating while cloning process is in progress. I tried using hgsharp as they coded in the HgCloneTest, but only the .hg folder is created, other files are not created.

Could somebody say me how the files are created while cloning a repo.

Answer 1

Well, at last I understood the concept. While cloning a particular repo if we say --no update, then the working directory will not get updated. Thanks to @Kindread.

Also, That HgSharp is cloning the repo by not updating the working directory and does not cover 100% functionality.
