push-me—pull-you

I'm soon to start working with the Mercurial HG shell anew after after twenty months of TFS. I am brushing up on my GIT jargon, although GIT and Mercurial are not technically the same thing. This suggests that Bitbucket offers pull request functionality for Mercurial which is a way to broadcast a commit (a push) to subscribers, baiting them to "pull" --get it?

The most interesting thing I remember about Mercurial is that there are both local and real-to-the-repository commits. Without ties to a bug tracking system, there is not that awful TFS requirement in which one has to give a task number in order to make a commit. Yay! I won't miss that.
