And indeed, I think this (asking questions) is just about the only sensible way to approach this - requests to RTFM are probably less useful than people expect. The only way to learn this stuff is by doing it, not by reading about it. I think I warned that this would happen - that the tools require a large amount of relearning, and that it will take time for committers to adjust. So I'd encourage everybody to keep asking questions, and request that they are answered in a polite manner, even if the one answering thinks that the same question is already answered in some documentation. The only alternative is that some people just give up contributing to Python. I just hope that we can stick with Mercurial for more than five years, before the next hot thing comes along.
