strip is part of the mercurial queues extension [1], which ships with
mercurial but is disabled by default (because it can be used to
destroy history, which is not newbie-safe).

You don't need to use strip here though, since you can achieve what
you need with a simple clone [2] alone:

hg clone --rev <REV1> --rev <REV2> --rev <REV3> .... <SRC-REPO> <DEST-REPO>
