	This is getting a little annoying.

	Guy 1 posts how terrible mercurial is because he couldn't figure out  
how to do something with it.  What he was trying to do and what he had  
to work with were apparently unnecessary details.

	Guy 2 comes around and talks about how mercurial is too complicated,  
nobody understands it, and all these people rushing in talking about  
how it's actually easy are just making things worse.  He points out  
that Guy 1's problem was that Windows has some weird filesystem thing  
that made using a zipfile for clone not working.

	Personally, I find mercurial far more simple to use than CVS in all  
but the single-user, single-machine cases.  I don't, however, pretend  
like I'm using CVS when I'm using it.
