Thanks, it did end up working. I was following this:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/TipsAndTricks

I had to specify a revision (ie. -r tip) for it to work, which didn't
seem to be needed per the "Tips and Tricks". I kept getting the
following error without it: "abort: repository has no revisions".
