Hi Mike,

Great news! I was really sad when Sverre's work on remote-hg was basically ignored and replaced (and he went away after that), and then the replacement was not maintained properly.

So I am personally very happy that there is a well-maintained alternative now.

Hopefully I will get a chance to test this soon, but I already have one comment: at

... it is mentioned that...

	Git for Windows 32-bits is untested, but assumed to have the same
	issue as MSys2 32-bits

... but as is mentioned here:

	https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/32-bit-issues

Git for Windows executes the rebaseall step as part of the installation, so it should not have the same issue as MSys2 32-bits ;-)

Ciao, Dscho
