Dirkjan,
apparently the bug is worse than I thought. In Mercurial 1.0.1 "hg
clone --rev=123" sets your working directory to the latest revision on
the *default* branch even if it is different from 123. This happens if
revision 123  has a misfortune to reside on a non-default branch. One
has to explicitly issue a second command "hg upd 123" to get sync the
working dir. I just sent another message to the list about it.
Unfortunately, I cannot file a bug report because selenic bug tracker
requires login  and I do not have one.
