  a couple questions and observations before i take a shot at this.
it's unusual to have a *development* branch tagged with what appears
to be a version number.  once someone understands that, then it's
clear, from the clone.sh script, that 1.6 refers to the dev branch of
some of the hg checkouts, while 5.3 is the dev branches for the rest
of them.  it's just not obvious if one peruses the nuxeo mercurial
repo page, that's all.  i'm just used to development branches having
names like, well, "dev".

  in any event, if one is interested in keeping up with the current
development, all one needs to do (if i understand you correctly) is:

  $ hg clone -r 5.3 http://hg.nuxeo.org/nuxeo

and everything else should be fine since clone.sh already refers to
the dev branches of all else, correct?  then just run "clone.sh" for
the rest of the checkout.

  also, in order to keep up with the development, one clearly needs to
be able to do hg updates on a regular basis.  does that entire
checkout represent a mercurial forest that can be updated in one
operation?  or how would you update the entire thing?  thanks.
