Mercurial HG pull specific “no changes” yet files

问题:

My local file and mercurial revision are at different stages however hg pull & hg update default returns a no changes message.

On bitbucket my repo and revision I am trying to pull to local machine is https://bitbucket.org/sayth/pyxml/src/c63b5ce2119ae64331ee2551fc19083315be0571/xrace.py

[sayth@localhost pyXML]$ hg pull && hg update default 
pulling from https://bitbucket.org/sayth/pyxml
searching for changes
no changes found
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

At bitbucket at latest revision you can see just in the imports alone they are different.

Bitbucket

# from lxml import etree
from lxml import objectify
import argparse
import os

local machine

from pyquery import PyQuery as pq
# import pandas as pd
# import psycopg2
import argparse
import os
# from datetime import datetime

Even trying pulling by revision number but it wont update.

[sayth@localhost pyXML]$ hg pull -r c63b5ce
pulling from https://bitbucket.org/sayth/pyxml
no changes found

Your clone is a full copy of the remote repository with all the revisions in it.
When you pull you're checking the remote repo for any new revisions and copying them to your local clone, but it does not change the files that you are currently editing.

update changes your working copy, i.e. the files you are currently editing to whatever revision you choose.
If you just do hg update without specifying a revision it will update to whatever it thinks is the current tip of the repo.
If you do hg update -r c63b5ce2119a it will update your working copy to the specified revision and that will change the files you are currently editing.
