What file system are you using?
Have you tried 'hg clone -U'?

There are a few cases with hg where the repository your trying to clone has a 
file stored in its repo that is longer than a valid path on certain Plan 9 file 
systems.  This is the case for go, python, and a few other prominent 
repositories.  In the case of go, getting the repo cloned without the update 
can work, because it doesn't fail during the file walk that would be invalid 
during temporary reconstruction if the work area file space.  Then an update to 
tip later will actually work because it bypasses the garbage file that was 
replaced|moved in a later commit.
