While I did not make time to stress the current Hg today, I must say they have come a loooong way of late -- particularly on the documentation and support fronts.  Mas kudos to the Hg team.  I am still not a fan of Hg simply because it chooses by design not treat directories as first class objects [1].  

I'll have to investigate to see if that bugs me.

yeah and it means better access for you folks.

See http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/mercurial-in-daily-use.html -- read the rationalization there, and pay special attention to the comments in the section entitled "Mercurial tracks files, not directories."  

uh oh. is it hard to rename a dir? don't care about empty dirs.  hmm… this seems to work:

hg rename doc docs
