Well, I used setuptools unfortunately. The day I switched from svn to
mercurial, people started
to complain because my distribution had missing files.
So I eventually switch to use MANIFEST.in, because package_data
features were incomplete.
So, I know exactly on my side why I don't want to be tighted to a VCS plugin.
Are you saying the mercurial plugin doesn't work? Did you contact the author?
