Crap, sorry, Val, I didn't read carefully enough. There is NOT a "putback comment" analog with Mercurial. You push a changegroup, consisting of one or more changesets, each of which has changeset comments. The way you do this in Mercurial SHOULD be by having the contributor as the user in the changeset that the sponsor is pushing. Sometime tomorrow, can you pop over to #onnv-scm on freenode, and discuss this with the team? --Mark
