Hello,
Mercurial has a command line client for all platforms and so is perfectly accessible on all. For those who use eclipse, there is a plugin which is perfectly accessible.
I personally find mercurial very easy to get on with, I have seen many others say similar and also seen others say that moving from SVN to mercurial isn't hard. Normally if I get stuck with what command to use then hg help is fairly useful to point me in the correct direction and hg help <command> is good at telling you how to use it.

I'd really prefer subversion, or god help us, git, as the source control

as in any, cross platform clients. Yes, the command line one on Linux works 
fine.

Anyways, just find a way of exporting/checking out  the whole thing out of 
mercurial, then zip up that directory.

In subversion, there's a direct feature for this.

Take care,
Sina

Subject: [brailleblaster] Can Mercurial produce zip files?

Sure, I know I should read the manual, but I want to concentrate on programming 
and design, so if I can ask an expert a question
that seems the best use of my time.

I have produced a draft design for BrailleBlaster in a local Mercurial 
repository. It would be nice if I could make a zip file for
posting to the list, but the directory contains lots of other files, so i want 
to include only the files that have been registered
with Mercurial. Can I do this or something similar?

Thanks,
John
