Hello,

I noticed that access to the OpenSolaris Mercurial repository is only possible 
through ssh. Is there any reason for this when the Source is already OpenSource?

Direct ssh access is of course impossible in many companies where employees are 
trapped behind a firewall, and it is a nightmare to get Firewall admins to 
allow tunneling ssh through some SOCKS proxy server. I fear my attempts to get 
somebody to support this here will fail soon.

It would be really great if access could be made possible through simple HTTP.

Or at least if complete Mercurial bundle's would be offered for HTTP download 
where I could download a base revision including all history and then regular 
update bundles to get the rest of it.

Regards

Guido
