wrong link to mozilla-central hg in build instructions?
opto commented

here:
https://github.com/thundernest/developer-docs/blob/master/thunderbird-development/building-thunderbird/windows-build-prerequisites.md

is this: hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central source/

giving a 404 on clone in several hg tools..

from here: https://hg.mozilla.org/
it looks like it means hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/?

at least, tortoisehg and another hg tools cannot clone what is given on the page, and not everybody uses command line hg, which might work or not.

Opto, those are both the same urls. The "source/" part is the second parameter to the clone command.

It's true @opto - the source part is the directory to clone the repo into.
