hg init + hg pull is different from hg clone?

That is for "update" mode, right? But what about "export"?

Actually, I'm experiencing similar problems on our git project; problem 
especially is, that git init + git fetch do not fetch tags, so I have to 
manually add git fetch -t.

I think that in respect to new VCS around, it will be nice to create few more 
commands and address differences.

(Well, #276 and #263 on my plate, so I might try during PyCon ,))
