Topicbox-Message-UUID: 4848a3d6-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 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.
