Lame question about where to make the first repository

See, that's pretty nice. No need to get an svn server running first, and
then have to import my person copy of the project into it and then check it
out again. That always seems so redundant to me.

The main reason I wanted to use something like mercurial is that I often
find myself having to work on a few features at a time. Sometimes 8 out of
the 10 features are small additions while 2 out of the 10 are multi-day
marathons ;) What I'd like to do is work on the marthon feature in 1 project
and still be able to add those smaller features to a totally different
branch.

That way I can deploy newer versions of the application even though my
marathon feature isn't complete yet. Then when I finally finish the marathon
feature, I can merge it all together again. I hope mercurial will help with
this ;) Seems like it will, so I'm pretty excited!
