You mean the corrupted repo which I did not repair with convert? I did
not try this out.

Ok when I do that (in the BB clone) I obtain 

hg pull ../Orginal
pulling from ../Orginal
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
remote: abort: unexpected error: empty or missing revlog for Lista/Examen-Geo2/anova.csv
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: pull failed on remote

So I just pull the first new commit.

That is the last clean commit in BB is 7cdd8585c0ac

The first new one in the corrupt repo  is add711370282

So I run

hg pull -r  add711370282 ../Original

abort: data/Lista/Examen-Geo2/anova.csv.i at 3107306eb740: no match found!

adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes

Hg log -G

But
hg verify

2 integrity errors encountered!
(first damaged changeset appears to be 519)

Hg strip -r 519

abort: data/Lista/Lista-Ej/lista.org.i at f68105cb677d: no node!

Now this is *nice*. I'd say this is even a bug. That should not have
happened either the pulling should have been aborted or the strip should
have been worked.


Now the BB clone is also corrupt.

Ok that is odd but could have happened

 Now I am confused

Why is there a difference between

hg heads

And

hg heads -t


Thanks again. I presume I have to life with the 'repaired version' via
convert and forget the BB repo, or better say regenerate it on BB
