Hi John,
I am afraid that the USB to Serial adapter approach will not work as far as I
am aware. The Mac doesn't seem to support any serial adapters.
You can use MacHG from the command-Line. It says that it is a GUI tool, but it
has the command-line tools for Mercurial included.
The Mac Update URL for Mac HG is: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/36098/machg .
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex,
