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.

And Bible. Mercurial: The Definitive Guide

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.

Sergei
