The repository you're trying to clone as some Subrepository defined which are on a Subversion repository. The subrepository list can be seen in the .hgsub file.

In order for the clone to work, you will need to install Subversion on your computer. You can find packages for various platform here : http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html

The executable must also be in the path so Mercurial can use it. Since you didn't give much details about your environment, I can't help you with that, but I think the installation process should take care of this.

FYI, Mercurial also handles Git subrepository, so if you want to clone a project which make uses of them, you will also have to install Git.

Thanks @krtek! I must have been quite frustrated by my incapability to handle this problem myself.
