This statement is still somewhat silly, as a) you get a clone, not a checkout
and b) it is not read only in any way: you can commit just fine.  The only
difference will be the entry in .hg/hgrc pointing the default repo to something
you can't push to.

Skimming through, the whole section "Checking out the code" is still way too
SVN-point of viewy (e.g. you always get all branches anyway).
