You're cloning from a remote repo, mine is local on disk:

            if [ -d ${__repo} ] ; then \
                echo "Linking ${__repo} to linux-2.6.18-xen.hg." ; \

I would think this is a pretty standard development setup.  With the
number of trees I go through in a day, I certainly don't want to have to
keep them remote in order to get a cloned copy.

   It finds it via the hg path, not the search path.  Thanks,
