All modules are documented here: [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list\_of\_all\_modules.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_all_modules.html)

If you search on that page you will find there is a module called ‘hg’ for managing mercurial repositories.

… however it is not for windows.

If you have mercurial installed (perhaps using TortoiseHg) you can use win\_shell module to run mercurial commands though.
