It is available on all platforms on which PYTHON runs. It works on OpenVMS too (not that many people here would care). Has fewer external dependencies (git needs a POSIX shell) and hence easy to deploy on non-UNIX platforms. A link to the mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/hgbook.pdf It is very much GIT like in its usage but IMHO, much more portable as it is implemented in PYTHON (just like elisp code works where ever emacs runs). with best regards, dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
