I have been assuming that this is the point: "push or pull"
I have a repository with a structure like this: (three paths as
example)

D:\MercurialRepository\xml
D:\MercurialRepository\python
D:\MercurialRepository\python\tests
D:\MercurialRepository\python\tkinter

Now I want to "copy" all version of all files of last path into the
empty repository
from bitpucket. One Idea was to say:

being at D:\XmlBasedGuiDesign (this is the clone of the bitbucket
repository)

hg pull D:\MercurialRepository\python\tkinter
abort: repository D:\MercurialRepository\python\tkinter not found!

Well, yes that's true. The ".hg" is only at D:\MercurialRepository.
