On top of what Boris said, the release versions for Thunderbird are
built from ESR 60, so you want to check out from:
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr60/, likely
THUNDERBIRD_60_VERBRANCH.
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr60/, into mozilla/comm as
documented, which has tags for 60.7, 60.7.1, and further commits, just
pick the version you want there.

Looking at the page "Simple Thunderbird build" under "Get the source",
I see this note
Warning: The page Getting comm-central Source Code Using Mercurial
[en-US] is 99% out of date! Only useful content is working with Github.
I'm not sure how to interpret this.
That page (the one at
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Source_Code/Getting_comm-central>)
has instructions that only work through Thunderbird 59. For Thunderbird
60, you want the instructions at
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Thunderbird_build>
which are what you're reading.
Since this note refers to a different page, are the instructions in
"Simple Thunderbird Build" correct?
I think they are, but I haven't tried them recently.
I want to build a Windows 32 debug version of Thunderbird 60.7.0. I
suspect that to get the source I don't want to use
hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central source/
which would get the most recent. What URL do I want to get that
particular version?
That URL would be fine, but then you'd want to actually "hg checkout"
some specific revision. I can't figure out which one, and there seem to
be no obvious tags in comm-central for recent Thunderbird versions.
Hopefully someone who does Thunderbird development more often than I
will know the answer to this.
And does cloning that repository just get TBird or does it get all of
the Mozilla stuff?
Cloning https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central clones TBird, calendar,
suite front end. Looks like this ends up at about 200MB on disk.
Cloning https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central clones the Gecko
rendering engine and the various Firefox front-ends. This is going to
be around 6GB or so.

To be clear, are you saying that I should clone
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr60/ and
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
rather than the repositories mentioned in the "Simple Thunderbird build" page?
Nope, you'd want to
hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr60/ mozilla
cd mozilla
hg co THUNDERBIRD_60_VERBRANCH
hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr60/ comm
