clone: check update rev for being True
In 30be3aeb5344, there was an attempt to fallback to looking up the update
revision assuming it was always a rev but the documentation states:
True means update to default rev, anything else is treated as a revision
Therefore, we should only fallback to looking up the update rev if it is not
True. This bug was found in hg-git and I couldn't think of a test that does
this in pure Mercurial since the source repository is checked for the revision
as well (and therefore gracefully falls back).

WiX installer source files ========================== The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync. The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are ignored. The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin) privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may still be useful to some users. To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but they are more specific.
