Hi,

Can probably be done with: [http://hg-git.github.io/](http://hg-git.github.io/) (although you must pay attention to what you commit, because there is not .hgignore)

Greetings,  
gw

I’d rather see ansible-pull enhanced to support mercurial also. Patches would be accepted!

Looking at the code it looks like it would be simple for someone who knows the code a bit. I’d try to submit a patch but I’m a bit strapped for time atm. I’ll look into improving it when I have more time. Would you just want it to accept a parameter with the type of repo?
