I've installed Mercurial on Athena for Linux and Sun
machines. Mercurial is a lightweight source code management system
designed for efficient handling of large distributed objects.

The basics for running it are:

	add mercurial
	hg <command> [argument]

but you will need to consult the documentation to understand how the system
works. See http://web.mit.edu/mercurial_v0.9.4/README.athena for pointers
to detailed documentation at the author site. There are man pages for hg,
hgmerge, hgignore and hgrc, and QuickStart/Command Reference summary files
accessible from http://web.mit.edu/mercurial_v0.9.4/
