hg+ssh bug?

[Jakob van Bethlehem]

Hey list,

Today I tried to clone a repository over ssh, using:
hg clone ssh://user@remote/~/path/to/repo

This resulted in a SyntaxError in util.py, line 330:
   yield ''.join(buf)
It says: invalid syntax

Since I wasn't sure what the reason was for this problem, I added the -v 
option and tried again: then this helpful message appears:
running ssh user at remote "hg -R ~/path/to/repo/ serve --stdio"

This seems allright to me, since the remote shell should be able to 
expand the ~/, but alas, so then I tried running the command between 
quotes on the remote-machine. To my suprise I actually got the same 
error! And when I use an absolute, full pathname, again the same error. 
So it seems that the problem is at the remote end, but it's not clear to 
me what the problem is.

I'm running hg 1.2/python2.4 on the remote system (but the problem is 
reproduced under hg 1.1); this is the traceback in a shell _on_ the 
remote system for the command: hg -R ~/path/to/repo/ serve --stdio

[..]/python2.4/site-packages/mercurial/util.py:330: Warning: 'yield'

Any thoughts? Is this something I should create a bug-report for, or am 
I missing something obvious?

Greetings, Jakob
