Doesn't Mercurial work with PuTTY's plink and > pageant, like Bazaar does? Sometimes, and sometimes not. Like Bazaar. It appears that many Windows users have great difficulty getting SSH connections to work right. As I say, I don't know that this is the VCS's job. Personally the only time I used SSH on Windows was for CVS and rsync, I installed Cygwin's OpenSSH, imported my key files and config file from a nearby Debian box, both CVS and rsync worked the first time, and then I forgot about SSH on Windows. So it's not obvious to me that it's a real problem, but some people worry about it (and there's a thread on it on bazaar@canonical every couple of months).
