I've played with it. It's incredibly impressive for such a comparatively small program. But, it's kind of niche, and even hg has become niche, everyone is using git now. Self-hosting git repositories can be pretty simple, nearly trivial with git-daemon, or slightly fancier with gitweb. There are also full-on fancy solutions like gitlab or gitstar: I'm not up on the latest of these things. > There is no test suite (shock, horror). I have not got my head around > that yet. The things that I could write tests for are so trivial In my experience, writing tests for existing code is a big pain in the neck and doesn't really get good coverage. The best way to write tests is with a development style where you write the tests at the same time that you write the code. This will have implications for the way the code is organized, so it's much harder to retrofit tests after the fact. But at least, you can write some integration tests. I'm old-fashioned and use dejagnu for that. I think there's newer and trendier stuff now though. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
