Added ability to clone from a local repository to a (new) remote one.
Rearranged the clone command a good bit to make sure it validates that
the source does exist and that the destination doesn't before doing anything.
Before I moved the source repo check it would create the destination
repository before it verified the source existed.
Moved the responsibility for creating the destination repo root directory
entirly into the localrepo class so that local to local cloning doesn't break.
This also simplifies the code a bit since it's no longer being done in both
clone and init.
Changed the names of the 'repo' and 'other' variables to 'dest_repo' and
'src_repo' to maintain my sanity.
Passes 82/83 tests. The only failure is the version number test, which I
suspect is supposed to fail since it comes from a generated file.

The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat jury-rigged fashion. It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it: Python for Windows http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ Python for Windows Extensions http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ mfc71.dll (just download, don't install) http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ The py2exe distutils extension http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ISTool http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file) http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path And, of course, Mercurial itself. Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo C:\hg\hg-release. In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program: python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1 Copy mfc71.dll and add_path.exe into the dist directory that just got created. Run ISTool, and open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss file. In ISTool, type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. The actual installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory.
