how to clone a local kernel src tree

[pradeep singh rautela]

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a complete newbies question.
I am just planning to using mercurial for kernel development and alike.

I tried cloning downloaded 2.6.18 vanilla tree using
$ hg clone /opt/vanilla-2.6.18 /opt/hg-2.6.18
after doing a hg init /opt/vanilla-2.6.18

All i get is an empty dir with no kernel src files.why?

Though my original intention is to get the whole vanilla tree checked
out, which didn't happen :-(.

What am i missing here?

The Hg tutorial on selenic site says you will get everything out in
your local repo from a base master, isn't it?

Or is it that it does not works with files.

What did i miss?

Please help, as i do not want to use subversion again :-(.

Thank you
