That was clear to me. :-)

My own creation? http://msig.info/web2.php ;-)

Thanks. Patch applied.

Ok.

You can use the 'hg bundle' command to export a compact set of several
changesets. But I much prefer putting diff on the mailing list for peer
review, so the approach you used is ok for me.

Yes it is local, in .hg/ directory at the root of the project directory.

Mercurial is really distributed: all commits go into the .hg/ of the
local directory project. To make a new branch, you can use 'hg clone' or
a simple cp. I you want to remove mercurial info, just remove the .hg/
directory.

Best wishes,
