Hmm, yes, that was actually the sequence I always did with hg,  
although I never really knew why.  ;-)

So let me summarize what I have learned now over the times.
In order to get an update of a local copy of a source repository I have to do

svn update           with Subversion
hg pull & hg update  with Mercurial
bzr pull             with Bazaar
git pull             with Git

Right?  ;-)


About my original topic:  with the correct command I had now a current  
wget source tree, but the process also had deleted lots of files with  
seemed to be necessary to proceed. And I had to figure out that I also  
had to run a "bootstrap" script now to really collect all needed  
files. But I have the hope that from now on everything will go smoother.

Best regards and thanks for the patience,
