The only good thing about HG is that Cython uses it, other than that
it's slow as hell. I'm fine with either HG or even Subversion, but be
aware that if we go the SVN route using this read-only approach, we'll
have more work to do, since its tools to merge remote branches are
bad.
   I just suggested the decentralized approach since Greg wants to
keep his own repository.
