Hi, you might have heard about codebeamer (http://intland.com/products/codebeamer.html). Its a collaboration tool for distributed software development supporting Mercurial, Subversion, CVS and other version control systems.
It is a commercial product however it has also a free version. Just to make it clear, I don't want to make here advertisement for the product. We believe that Mercurial provides us great advantages and we would like enhance also Mercurial support from codeBeamer. Currently, Mercurial repositories can be created and account authentication is also supported and commits can be associated to issues. Where do you see we could provide more support for Mercurial?
