I just tested this and it told me that it can only share local clones, though 
I was on the local filesystem. 

$ hg share blah blubb
Abbruch: can only share local repositories

I'm a bit wary of it, since it violates the principle that every clone stands 
for itself. 

What's the use-case? 

And couldn't something similar be archieved with less danger or corrupting 
other repos by using another store, but storing changes in bundles inside the 
single clone and pushing them back if requested? 

This would naturally make it impossible to use history changing operations on 
any pseudo-clone.

I'm anxious to test these! 

I'll do it as soon as I have a bit of time at hand. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
