Newbie: How to create a shared repository?

[Imbeault, Jean-Christian]

Thanks! I don't know how I missed this link on the Mercurial page.

I'll definitely read this first before posting any more questions.

The book describes all of that in detail: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/
It's definitely required reading for Hg newbies; it helped me a lot.

In distributed version control, repositories are basically peers, and
revisions can transfer between them in any direction. However, you can
build different types of configurations out of this, including a CVS/
SVN-type central server. It's mostly a matter of conventions, and access
control. Again, the book describes this in some depth.
