How can I switch to a tag/branch in hg?

Question

Hi,

I have followed the documentation in https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Source_Code/Mercurial

And I have download FF source using this: hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ src

But how can i switch to the FF3.6 'branch' or 'tag'? The documentation said 'hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/ 192src' but I don't want to clone both FF main and Ff3.6 twice?

Thank you.

Once you have cloned the repo, you have everything: you can then hg checkout branchname or hg checkout tagname to update your working copy.
