Tangra switched from SVN to Mercurial

Now Tangra Framework uses Mercurial as source versioning control system. It provides many benefits over Subversion - most important one: allows easier work by bigger group of developers.
Here are the new URL for getting the source:
Anonymous (read-only):
hg clone http://tangra.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/tangra/tangra
Dev (read-write):
hg clone ssh://DEV_USER_NAME@tangra.hg.sourceforge.net/hgroot/tangra/tangra
With svn there is always one big problem - you just can't use it to commit temporaty/incomplete fixes because everybody will yeld at you because you are bloating the repository with untested changes. Someone may ask: "Why do you want to commit uncomplete things?!". Well, the answer is simple: when you work on big feature it is common your work to span over multiple days. It is good idea to be able to commit at important points so you can go back if something goes wrong later. That is easy achievable with Mercurial - you just clone your repo (to create temp one), commit as many times as you want and then just push back to your primary repo and delete the temp one (optional).
