[dba-VB] FYI: a Mercurial tutorial

Hello All,

I see that Joel has launched Kiln 1.0 which looks to be a GUI for Mecurial.
 It seems that he is commited to it as a technology.

IMO Kiln is pretty expensive for what it seems to be offering - a GUI for
Mecurial - or did I not get it right?

I have to say that I also found his tutorial facinating and I am considering
downloading and installing it here.

What do you all think, do we need a Central Mecurial Server also?  I could
set one up for use all to use if we want / need, but I think we do not
really need one unless we were working on a centralised project.

Thanks

Mark
