Hg Init is a good tutorial/introduction to Mercurial.

For Git users, there's GitConcepts over at the Mercurial Wiki.

Setting up Mercurial

You should edit/create the Mercurial.ini/.hgrc file. Where it lives depends on your operating system:

• On POSIX systems (Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X), it should be ~/.hgrc
• On Windows, %USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini

Add these lines, and edit them:

[ui]
username = Your Name <your@email>

[auth]
smssc.prefix = https://sm-ssc.googlecode.com/hg/
smssc.username = (your Google username/Gmail sans the '@gmail.com' part)
smssc.password = (your password from Profile -> Settings page; NOT your Google account password)

Once you are finished with this, you can move on to Compiling sm-ssc.
