From http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/developers/index.html
You have four options
• download and install via Git (recommended)
• download and install via mercurial
• access tarballs directly from 'master' branch.
• access the nightly tarball snapshot at
http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/petsc-dev.tar.gz
can we remove the mercurial instructions now (while still having them work)?
Since the switch to git has succeeded (that is we are not going back). Having
all this complexity in the instructions just makes it more confusing and
intimidating. Three possibilities is bad enough but 4 is terrible especially
since one is completely redundant to another.

Presumably anywhere you can install mercurial you can install git?
