[Aces-support] [Fwd: [Underworld-users] Switching from Subversion to Mercurial]

[Einat Lev]

Hi ACES support
The developers I'm collaborating with have decided to switch their 
version control tool from subversion (SVN) to Mercurial. Any chance this 
can be installed on the cluster?
Thanks!
Einat

Hi all,


One of the outcomes of the retreat last week was that in principal we've
agreed to switch to the same repository system as PETSc and GALE. The
real benefit is that Mercurial is a distributed repository system, which
means you can do things like make many small commits before pushing it
out to the main repository. 

It will, however, (a) require you to install mercurial, (b) learn the
small differences in using mercurial, and (c) to tolerate as we muck
around to get it to work.

What I'd like to know is if there's any significant object to this.
