Local mercurial repository

I want to understand how mercurial works on the server side. So I do some local experiment and can't understand what is going wrong. I make two directories /server and /client then go to /server, make new directory /server/repository, go to /repository and call hg init.By this I have an hg repository. Then I go to /client and call hg clone file://path_to_server/server/repository. It clones empty repository to the /client folder. Then I create new file and put it under hg control doing hg add file, commit it and push. I expect a file in the /server/repository/ but it's still empty.Maybe my expectations so naive and behaviour I expect is incorect. It also might be really doubtful thing - moving files locally by pushing from /client to /server without any command in /server/repo/ folder. In this case I hope anybody explain why that doesn't word this way and what should I do.

You need to hg update on the server repository.

The working directory (which is the set of files you see in the filesystem) is not automatically updated when new changesets arrive either from pulling or pushing changes from another repo.

Good Luck!
