Initialize a new repository and working directory that shares its
history with another repository.
- NOTE: actions that change history such as rollback or moving the
- source may confuse sharers.
+ NOTE: using rollback or extensions that destroy/modify history
+ (mq, rebase, etc.) can cause considerable confusion with shared
+ clones. In particular, if two shared clones are both updated to
+ the same changeset, and one of them destroys that changeset with
+ rollback, the other clone will suddenly stop working: all
+ operations will fail with "abort: working directory has unknown
+ parent". The only known workaround is to use debugsetparents on
+ the broken clone to reset it to a changeset that still exists
+ (e.g. tip).
