Clone pooling works for local clones with a remote subrepo reference. The subrepo is cloned to the pool and shared from there, so that all clones will share the same subrepo. $ hg --config extensions.share= --config share.pool=$TESTTMP/pool \ > clone absolute_subrepo cloned_from_abs (sharing from new pooled repository 8d6a2f1e993b34b6557de0042cfe825ae12a8dae) requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 2 changesets with 3 changes to 3 files new changesets 8d6a2f1e993b:* (glob) searching for changes no changes found updating working directory cloning subrepo sub from http://localhost:$HGPORT/sub (sharing from new pooled repository 863c1745b441bd97a8c4a096e87793073f4fb215) requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files new changesets 863c1745b441 searching for changes no changes found 3 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved Vanilla sharing with a subrepo remote path reference will clone the subrepo.
