Test repository moving to Mercurial today

Hello all,

the working group decided today to move the test suite repository over to Mercurial. I'm planning on making the actual switchover later this afternoon (US Pacific time).

There's already a read-only mirror of the repository in Mercurial online at:
http://hg.csswg.org/test

I intend to leave the Subversion copy running for a while to assist anyone in the switchover, but it will be read-only after today and will not be mirroring updates made to the Mercurial version. Furthermore, https access to the Subversion repository will be going away today.

When the switchover is complete, the Mercurial repository will be available for push access at:
https://hg.csswg.org/test

I will also be creating a basic instruction set for using Mercurial with the test suite on our wiki.

If anyone has last minute work they want to commit while still using Subversion, please do it now. Email me directly if you're in the middle of something and you need more time, but I'd really like to get this done ASAP as it's blocking other work. 

Once the change is complete, the only way to submit tests to the repository will be through Mercurial. If you have work in progress, you can simply clone the Mercurial repository, copy your files over to it and proceed from there.

Peter
