Well, I know of at least one implementation issue. Currently the same host serves both the web site and the source repositories. I'm not a web services expert, so I don't know how hard it would be to redirect HTTP requests for Mercurial to the right place. The SCM implementation spec at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/scm/scmhostspec/ does mention allowing HTTP URLs. Maybe we just haven't gotten to implementing that yet?

We could certainly take that as a feature request. http://bugs.opensolaris.org, category=solaris/opensolaris. cheers, mike
