* [My default branch](http://510x.se/hg/program/ikiwiki/file/default/Plugin/mercurial.pm) (where updates will be made, will mention here if anything happens) ([raw version](http://510x.se/hg/program/ikiwiki/raw-file/default/Plugin/mercurial.pm)).
+(I've stripped the `hgrc`-generation from the linked versions, so it should work to just drop them on top of the old `mercurial.pm`).

I break out my comments from the code to make them more readable. I comment all the changes as compared to current upstream. --[[Daniel Andersson]]

+> * `hg_local_dirstate_shelve` writes to a temp file in the srcdir,
+> which is hardly clean or ideal.
+> * Relies on mercurial bookmarks extension that seems to need to be

+> * There are some places where code was taken from git.pm and the

The comment just below the function declaration below is taken from `git.pm`. Is it true? Should ikiwiki support sharing its repo with other things? Mercurial-wise that sounds like a world of pain.

In this case we need to stay in default repo instead of srcdir though, so `hg_dir="."` _is_ needed, but not for the abovementioned reason :-) (maybe there's more to it, though).
