Mercurial; hg log command displays huge, unorganized list of files for rev 0 inside of a cloned repository

Question

I'm brand new with mercurial, but I searched the net and couldn't find any information regarding this problem.

I've got a repository on Bitbucket which I am using to work from my laptop and my desktop.
The repository originated from my laptop and on that computer the hg log for rev 0 looks completely normal.

Today I cloned the repository onto my desktop for the first time, made my changes, made my commit, and pushed the changes.
For some reason on this computer, when I use the hg log command, or hg log -r 0, I get a huge list without line breaks of all the files that were added to the repository on the original commit.

Am I missing something here?

Thank you

Did you try to fomat the output of hg log, as described in Chapter 11. Customizing the output of Mercurial:

hg log -r 0 --template '{desc}\nfiles: {files}\n'
