Mercurial: notes for admins

SSH access

https://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/SharedSSH

This method looks a bit rusty though.

However, 'hg' is similar to cvs/svn/bzr/rsync and we can restrict to run in push/pull mode only (no repository creation since we want hooks to be controlled by us).

Web browsing

It's done through hgwebdir.wsgi

Since Mercurial 1.0, mod_wsgi shall be used for the web interface (older Mercurial versions crashed):
