Thanks for setting it up! I made some minor changes.

Which version of the manual are you using? It looks like an older
version. The syntax has changed, making things a bit simpler.

This, in particular, has changed. The --in-place option to merge and
replay have been removed. Instead, if there is an optional argument
on the end, the result of the merge goes there. I am planning to
remove the --in-place option to fork, so there should be no commands
left with the --in-place option.

Fork is to create your own branch. Mirror just makes a copy of an
archive. You can use it to have a local copy so you don't have to
talk to the network so much, or to push things from a private to
public space.
