Mercurial keeps the original clone address in the .hg/hgrc file:

[paths]
default = http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/gnulib-hg

What I typically do is keep a canonical resident copy of Octave, and 
when I want to try something experimental, I clone that resident copy 
then change the path to the remote location.  That saves a lot of time 
and network traffic.
