Maven + Mercurial + Site Deploy issues

Question

I'm trying to deploy my Maven generated site to a googlecode project using mercurial. When I do a

mvn site:deploy

I get Transfer error: org.apache.maven.scm.NoSuchCommandScmException: No such command 'list'.

Its like its trying to do a "svn list" even though I am using mercurial.

In my pom I have maven wagon and mercurial setup (I think correctly):

org.apache.maven.wagon wagon-scm 1.0-beta-6 org.apache.maven.scm maven-scm-provider-hg 1.4

Then for my site deploy I have a separate mercurial repository:

   <distributionManagement>
  <site>
   <id>googlecode</id>
   <name>googlecode site</name>
   <url>scm:hg:${project.site.scm}/</url>
  </site>
   </distributionManagement>

In my settings.xml I have:

  <servers>
  <server>
    <id>googlecode</id>
    <username>...</username>
    <password>...</password>
  </server>
  </servers>

site:deploy uses the scp or file protocol for deploying a site to the server (see here). I configure this along normal ssh lines (authorized_keys, etc). And in the pom have something along the lines:

  <!-- The location for generating the website. -->
  <distributionManagement>
    <site>
      <id>website</id>
      <url>scp://[email protected]/path/to/deploy/directory/</url>
    </site>
  </distributionManagement>

It takes everything from the target/site directory and copies it across to the defined destination. However, the downside is, that it is up to me to ensure that what I have deployed is actually checked into my version control system. i.e:

hg push (use mercurial directly to push my changes to other developers).
mvn site:deploy (deploys from my local machine using scp).
