I am one of the lucky users who can't pull directly from the http://hg.fandev.org repository. I found a bundle file in an old topic and after initializing from that, I am able to pull updates as usual.

Still, I hadn't been able to get the boostrap script to work. (Which is lame, because I was the one who wanted it so bad). Today, I decided to find a way to get it to work.

What worked for me was to simply add the hgRepo variable as a script option. Then, I just targeted another repository and poof. Since others may find it helpful, here's a patch. The bootstrap docs probably also need to list the script options.

Dude! That worked. I downloaded the bundle Andy published here, hg clone from that file to a fresh dir; then hg pull from fantom.org, in the newly cloned repo, works. I have no idea why.
