[dba-VB] FYI: a Mercurial tutorial

Hi Mark --

As I noted in my reply to JC in this thread Mercurial tools (including
Visual Studio plug-in and web server) are free.

If you can set Central Mercurial Server (to play with) on your publicly
available IIS web server and post reproducible setup steps that would be
very useful for many developers AFAICS:

Thank you.

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
