I don't know of such a tutorial, Tony, but I would definitely be  
interested in helping create one. I've been using mercurial with a  
few of my sites for a few months now, and it's been working out  
great. There are still a lot of features I don't use, but as a fellow  
solo developer I'd be happy to share my workflow and the tips I've  
discovered if you'd find that helpful.

I've installed the Mercurial extension in Trac, which puts a pretty  
web-based GUI on each of my sites' repositories, and lets me compare  
before and after changes side-by-side, and even keeps track of  
project goals and even includes a project-based wiki.

I love TextMate, and pretty much live in it while I'm working, but I  
use the command line to issue Mercurial commands. It's probably just  
me, but I find that more flexible and easier to use than the  
Mercurial Bundle. No a big deal, since I need to ssh to the web  
server to issue the hg update command anyway.

Feel free to email me directly, so as to not clutter up this mailing  
list.

Cheers,

	- Dave
