Copy data from Mercurial repostiory site to local directory using command line

Question

This is the site http://hg.sagemath.org which has Mercurial repository. I have to collect all name tags first and when you click one of the name tags respective link gets open which has all files or directory which I need to copy to local directory if there is any changed. My setup will be as below the command prompt

1. login to the Mercurial site.
2. get the name tags.
3. get link with refer to name tag (i.e, href attribute).
4. update the local directory if there is changed in remote site.

Please let me know how could I achieve this? need urgent help..

Answer 1

First off "need urgent help" is likely to make your responses slower. Don't say that.

Second, those repositories are actually being served via HTTP. You can do hg clone http://hg.sagemath.org/examples to get a local copy of the examples repository. So:

for i in examples extcode-main sage-main scripts-main; do
    hg clone http://hg.sagemath.org/$i;
done
