Upload files via Mercurial?

[edkolis]

Is there any way to configure the hosting service to allow uploads of files via Mercurial source control, instead of FTP? Sometimes I'll forget to upload a file, and something won't be working quite right! With Mercurial, all I have to do is push my changes and they'll all be synced!

This is not possible on free hosting (or premium shared, I believe).

You would need a VPS to install Mercurial.

OK, I was just asking if it was already installed, because it seems like it would be a useful feature!

??? Repo isn't deployment.

Well, I guess the idea would be, you push to a repo that's located at the deployment location. Just a crazy idea

WinSCP works with FTP and has a folder sync function - I don't know Mercurial but if it can 'push' to a local directory, problem solved.
