Add Mercurial to version-control.scm

Add Mercurial to version-control.scm

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi,

Here’s a patch to add Mercurial as package:

I put Mercurial between bazaar and subversion to keep alphabetic
ordering. Later items might not be ordered alphabetically, but that’s
out of my responsibility :)


Best wishes,

Thanks for the patch!

It looks good overall.  I’m assuming that it actually builds, is usable,
and that you assert that you did a reasonable auditing setting the
‘license’ field.

A few stylistic comments.

First, could you send the patch as produced by ‘git format-patch’, which
a ChangeLog-style commit log (see ‘HACKING’ and the VCS history for
details)?  Then we’ll happily push it.  :-)

Please keep lines below 80 columns (see ‘Coding Style’ in ‘HACKING’.)

Likewise.

Yes, we’re pretty liberal in that regard.  ;-)

Thanks for your patch, and welcome aboard!
