Mercurial is a fully distributed system. So instead of thinking of /tmp
branch, you should think of publishing your repository, which has your
commits in it. As I understand it, open-mpi.org is not set up for
publishing other repositories yet, but it is quite easy to set up a
mercurial server; there are also several places that will host one for
you: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MercurialHosting
Fair enough. I'll either wait for Jeff or look into the above if the
need arises. Currently I don't have
the need, I was just curious if it was possible.
