Definitely a flaky connection. What bothers me is that `hg pull -r 70357`
didn't fetch all commits. It fetched only current `tip`, which was about
no.59000 in my repository, so to download the next batch over the
unreliable connection I had to dump revision numbers with --debug
option and process them one by one in batch file.
