Ugh. Yes of course, that works. In previous versions, snapshot files
could be generated by hg fsnap snapshot.txt. I have the feeling that the
documentation needs to be more clear then. Right now it says:

    --snapfile    snapshot file generated by fsnap

This is very misleading.

Also, I found something that I consider a small inconsistency. hg fclone
and hg fseed are supposed to be quite similar. However, in hg fclone the
target directory is specified by the second (DEST) parameter, while in
fseed, it is specified by --root . I think it should be either

hg fseed [OPTION] SNAPSHOT-FILE DEST [PATH-ALIAS] (what is PATH-ALIAS
anyway??)

or

hg fclone -root DEST SOURCE

Cheers, Roman
