Having gotten that far, I think this might be worth referencing in new dev docs. Will do. I finally read hginit yesterday, after having seen people rave about it on twitter for a few weeks, and it's a very friendly introduction.

The key insight for me was the "manage versions" vs "manage change sets" distinction between a traditional VCS and a DVCS. I kind of knew that already, but that page expressed it really well.

Cheers, Nick.
