I have a question about your book on Mercurial. What software did you use for HTML version of this book? It is very nice with this commenting feature, RSS and it has very clean design :). Is that software broadly available (opensource? commercial?). Thanks for the great job with mercurial :). Best regards! Rafi Hi!

p35 Merging Streams:
4:2278 can be found on the graphic, but 5:cbfc cannot?

p36 Merging Streams:
5:cbfc does not match 5:b15c in graphic?

P37 Merging Streams:
6:12ef does not match 6:793c in graphic?

Am I reading the examples incorrectly? Why don’t the changeset values match?

Anyone have some good ones on code ownership and repo management with bug tracking and such?

All books that I carry on my reader have a frontpage. So, I made a frontpage for hgbook (O'Reilly inspired :P). If somebody needs it, here it is (http://alvivi.com/media/misc/mercurial_front.tar.gz). By the way, great books Bryan (RWH and HG). Cheers. Hi,

I was a bit unsure of understanding the slightly different world of "distributed", but the book helped connect the dots. That bug in chapter 9 is still there! But it's not a big deal, the text is enough to understand what should be going on even without the output from the commands.
