Mercurial made easy

mercurial: Volatile; erratic; unstable; flighty; fickle or changeable in temperament.

Very often what makes a OpenSource tool to succeed or fail, is good documentation. I have just found a quite visual and entertaining introduction to Mercurial:

And the mercurial cheatsheet is also quite handy.
