All right, I spent some time playing around with Mercurial and so far I
am pretty impressed. Particularly with the fact that it can be used as a
.cgi script. Within an hour after downloading the Mercurial source I was
able to:
-- Compile and install the package on my laptop
-- Create an initial repository
-- Check in my prototype
-- Compile and install Mercurial on the web server machine (I have an
account at bluehost.com)
-- Propagate the changes from my laptop to the server
-- set up Mercurial to function as a .cgi script
-- write a .htaccess file to tell Apache to use it
You can see the result here:

(My god, there's even an RSS feed. Sheesh!)
I'd invite all interested parties to take a look at the code. Some of
it's pretty experimental and I am sure that there are better ways to do
it. But right not its primarily intended as a proof of concept.
