Aha!  I guess I should have tried "hg help pull" first :).  So, I did this,
and the pull worked (did not have errors).  But one question now.  I know
that there are changes in the files in the repo I pulled from, but when I do
"hg st" in the recipient directory, no changes are reported.  Since the repo
pulled from that changed repo, shouldn't "hg st" report those differences in
my current repo?
