[issue2184] hg clone on a non-repo URL doesn't give helpful output

New submission from Augie Fackler <durin42 at gmail.com>:

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/re2/ gives abort: requirement '' not 
supported!

While it's user error that the given URL isn't a repo, the error message 
doesn't really suggest that to the user. We should try to make this a little 
more friendly by suggesting that the user verify their repo URL.
