Create a copy of an existing repository in a new directory.
If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the

+ For efficiency, hardlinks are used for cloning whenever the source

options:
-U, --noupdate do not update the new working directory
+ --pull use pull protocol to copy metadata
-e, --ssh specify ssh command to use
--remotecmd specify hg command to run on the remote side
