After "rsync local remote:/src" everything modified

[Ernie Rael]

To close this off. After some reflection and playing around, the 
cleanest way I found to copy a local repo from windows to linux.

NOTE: copying/moving a .hg is needed to preserve the hg-git connections. 
(AFAICT)

    mkdir .../dst_repo
    cp -a src_repo/.hg .../dst_repo
    cd .../dst_repo
    hg update null
    rsync dst_repo remote_sys:/src/

Then hg update on remote_sys works.
