/!\ Do not post through Google Groups, as doing so breaks the above rules and makes extra work for the moderator [[http://mercurial.markmail.org/thread/7s23jgvl5gk2d57h|(Reference)]]

Please think twice about cross-posting your questions on !StackOverflow -- !StackOverflow is not where you go when you want to reach the Mercurial community. You should instead use the mailing lists described here or our [[IRC|IRC channel]].
