This is an old revision from September last year. When you do "hg
pull", you only get new revisions, but you don't update your working
directory to them. Do hg update after "hg pull" to update your code to
the revision you just pulled, or do "hg pull -u" to do it in one step.

Also, the + indicates that you have modifications in your working
tree. If you try to update your working directory right now, you may
get conflicts between your changes and the tip revision on this branch
that you have just pulled. If you don't want to keep those changes,
you can do "hg up --clean", THIS WILL ERASE YOUR CHANGES, so be
careful. Use "hg status" and "hg diff" to inspect your changes.

So try to update your working directory. If that succeeds, try autogen, etc.

Note that you will need Mercurial at least 1.8 from now on. Here is a
PPA for Ubuntu that may help you get that version of Mercurial if you
don't already have it:
