What I'm looking for is the program that works just like (well, almost) git, b...

So, if I see build #49 on Hudson, how do I update my local Mercurial...

Is it ok if I install Python 2.6.4 instead of the 2.4 requirement listed on the Mercurial website? I'm fairly new to Mercurial and Python. My general impression of Python is that newer versions break compatibility with older versions. If Python is currently at 2.6.4 and Mercurial 1.4.3 lists Python 2.4 as a requirement, maybe they are ...
