As you say, this is true of any tool you use only intermittently. Here's a fairly good example of the kind of documentation that I think helps bridge the gap. It's for Python developers using the Mercurial repo, but it's more than that. It describes the common hg commands in the context of the workflow that core Python committers use. http://docs.python.org/devguide/committing.html I can never remember how to do a null merge, but this section answers the question nicely: http://docs.python.org/devguide/committing.html?highlight=null%20merge#porting-within-a-major-version Cheers, -Barry
