      I have 7 mercurial repository in my project. I want to be able to clone all of
      them at the same time, instead of cloning them inside my shell script. I think
      we have this support for svn already but not for mercurial.

      Thanks,

          Which is a better interface? Support mercurial forest extension or support for multiple repositories?

          I guess both are desirable. The repositories may not be always organized in a
          forest.

          OpenJDK projects have both Open & Closed version of repositories. Open version
          is hosted externally on forest. Closed version is internally hosted on forest as
          well. Release Engineering have to pull both Open & Closed version on top of each
          other to produce a complete commercial jdk product.

          So both are desirable depending upon your project choice & requirements.

          It seems to me that forest.py supports creation of a snapshot file that would
          retrieve both the open and closed repos in whatever desired tree structure, in
          which case the Hudson support could simply be instructed to use a forest with a
          specified root. This would seem much preferable to creating an ad-hoc
          forest-like system just for Hudson's use. If this is impossible (and forest.py
          cannot be improved to make it possible) then the plugin configuration would need
          to be more complicated.

          This issue is essentially the same as #1143 which was filed earlier.
