Use hg summary to check the status of my files.
Looking for (clean) to make sure the changes are committed and there is nothing to merge.

Example of clean status
```
> hg summary
parent: 12:267d20bf2b03 tip
 merged rev.tex
branch: default
commit: 20 unknown (clean)
update: (current)
```
Example when the changed is not committed and there is a merge in the repository.
```
parent: 8:43cedbe623e7 
 merged rev.tex
branch: default
commit: 1 modified, 20 unknown
update: 2 new changesets, 2 branch heads (merge)
```

Difference between hg clone and hg pull (Backing up Mercurial Repository)

hg clone will make a new repository (.hg).
hg pull will pull changeset from the depository to the current *existing* repository.

So hg clone can be used at first if you want to backup your repository and afterthat, use hg pull to update the backup.
