Hi Alex,
Thank you for this announce and HG eCos "mirror" on hg-pub. HG 1.5? Cool!
Even on my recent Ubuntu I have installed Mercurial 1.3.1. I can confirm
that I have no problem with new version (checked).

And I would suggest to start from official Mercurial Home at once, more
that Joel in his "cartoon" presentation suggests the same on the last
page.

I found no words about Mercurial Queues (MQ) in Joel's intro :-( The MQ is
DRCS style to manage the series of patches (and we manage the patches in
the most). It is pity that hgqinit.com is a free domain :-) Fortunately,
'Mercurial: The Definitive Guide' graceful covers this topic (Chapters 12
and 13).
Of course, practice to clone is useful in some cases, but, I listen how
Git geeks will say: Git's branching are no-disk-waste operations, and HG
clones? Hm... Fortunately, I knew the very effective HG's no-disk-waste
operation, those are `hg q*'.
Have a single central repository under HG, setup the DRCSed "repository"
for a queue of the patches: `hg qinit' and then manage MQs (=patches) `hg
qnew': do hundreds of HG `hg qrefresh', `hg qcommit' (that is your pain,
your mistakes, your experimental stuff, if you want nobody see that ever)
and then in one day type `hg qfinish' to apply excellent patch to the
central repository.
End of MQ (hg qinit) propaganda.
