Getting close to a general release. It's based on Python 2.7.4, supports
hg 2.5.4, and does require a few patches to APE.
Hg does have a caveat: many repositories require filesystems with long
filename|path support. The repositories for Python, Go, and Hg are included
in that list. The Go one is interesting because it was an html file that
someone created long ago with a terribly long filename. It did get shortened,
but that still means the store has the long filename. I really wonder why
Hg preservers the full filename in the store instead of using a hash or node
index. Just keep that in mind for future references. Fossil behaves okay
for most repositories I've tested, but older Plan 9 file systems will require
lnfs.
