I added some remarks to the page yesterday to reflect this. I'm no mercurial expert (only used it slightly), but AFAIU both svn and hg have the same authentication problems/solution. ssh is too coarse and the web side is best served through apache and using the same auth mechanisms. > > Granted, you're still limited to "full repository" access or no access > > with ssh since svn handles everything in its own database format. > > Yeah, that's pretty much a blocker for using svn+ssh.

Doesn't mercurial pushing (write access) require *require* ssh (or local access in general)? At least that was what I was told on the mercurial list http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2006-April/007542.html -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
