Mercurial (Hg)
==============

Why use the Mercurial plugin
============================

The Hg plugin is useful if you would like to track changes to
your Bcfg2 repository using `Hg <http://mercurial.selenic.com/>`_
backend. Currently, it enables you to get revision information out of
your repository for reporting purposes.

How to enable the Mercurial plugin
==================================

You will need to install Mercurial on the Bcfg2 server first.

Simply add Hg to your plugins line in ``/etc/bcfg2.conf``::

    [server]
    plugins = Base,Bundler,Cfg,...,Hg
