Huh, the gnulib repo might have been offline at the time you attempted
that, so hg refused to update because it couldn't update the gnulib
subrepo to the state it should have been in. That should just leave
your working directory with a bunch of intermediate changes. If you
try to update again, it will refuse because there are changes in your
working directory. You can wait until the gnulib repo is back online,
and tell hg to attempt to update again and overwrite changes in the
current working directory with "hg update --clean".

I hope this isn't too confusing.
