Can I clone part of a Mercurial repository?

Question

Is it possible to clone part of a Mercurial repository? Let\'s say the repository is quite large, or contains multiple projects, or multiple branches. Can I clone only part

Answer 1

Mercurial and Git only permit cloning on the entire repository. Thus it is recommended that each project gets its own repository.

Mercurial has a forest extension to ease having a "forest" for project repositories. The extension keeps each project in a separate repository, but provides options to update/push/pull all the forest repositories together.
