Well, mercurial is distributed SCM, so the workflow is different than  
subversion. Repositories are mostly local (or can be made so by  
simple filecopy), so local checkout and copy-to-remote should be the  
mostly used deployment, I guess. There is little need for remote  
repository support. And when you do local export and copy over  
network, it does matter a lot if there is 1 MB or 4 MB to copy. It's  
not space, it's time.

I do not care if it is supported or not, because I fixed it and it  
works for me. But the reasoning is flawed. This is not subversion  
with central remote repository. This is mercurial with local  
directory, which doubles as a repository. Intentionally disabling  
support for local repositories because remote don't work is IMHO not  
the right way. The main point of distributed scm is local repository,  
isn't it?
