Clone a particular branch

[monksy]

There doesn't appear to be a way to specify a particular branch that you can clone when you use Repository::clone.

Also, it does not appear that there is anyway to change the current branch of the repository.

Use Mercurial::Shell.run and add an extra option -b. E.g.

Mercurial::Shell.run(["clone ? ? ?", "-bmy_branch", "file:///home/bozydar/workspaces/example-repo", "/tmp/example-repo-clone/"], :append_hg => true)

I believe that in the same way you can change the current branch
