Thanks. I just noticed you tweaked my proposed URL to

http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manuals/0.8/

by inserting an "s" after manual (I overlooked that fact yesterday).

This is IMHO suboptimal URL "ui" design, as the current manual
would best be accessed under the url:

http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual

And if a user wants to see a specific revision of the manual
she can say:

http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/0.8

Which serves "The manual" for the 0.8 release of thg.

That's why I intentionally proposed the URL *without* an s.

Url-user's don't care about the fact that the "manuals" are in
a directory on the webserver. Url designs should be driven
by usage not technical implementation.
