I am trying to get the latest NHibernate source from GitHub using the latest Tortoise Hg client using the read only string provided, get the following error:

% hg clone --verbose -- git://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core.git
repository git://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core.git not found
[command returned code 255 Wed Sep 07 08:01:23 2011]

What am I doing wrong?

You are using mercurial (hg) to try to clone a git repository. Try using git or install hg-git

Why not using git clone for cloning git repository?

git clone --verbose git://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core.git
