Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I was forced to use Mercurial at a job a few years ago and that is when I created this. I really appreciate the love and feedback to enhance this. By all means fork and make it your own. I was working full time for almost two years using Mercurial, it's not a bad alternative to git at all.
