mercurial not working

[Ollivier Robert]

According to Michael P. Soulier:

That is rather surprising as I was running an older version on my 5.4
machine.

After "hg init", the only thing that you should find is a directory called
data, itself containing nothing.  Only after the first add/commit or import
should you find anything else.

What does happen if you do the same commands?
