Mercurial (also referred by the letters on the periodic table, hg) is a cross-platform, distributed source management tool for software developers that can be used with ShareSource.
Its major goals include high performance and scalability; serverless, fully distributed collaborative development; robust handling of both plain text and binary files; and advanced branching and merging capabilities, while remaining conceptually simple.
