NAME

       hg-ssh - restricted ssh login shell for Mercurial

SYNOPSIS

       hg-ssh repositories...

DESCRIPTION

       hg-ssh  can  be used as a restricted shell where access to Mercurial repositories is given
       over ssh(1).  It should be specified, together with the paths to the repositories the user
       should be given access to, as a command option in an authorized_keys(5) file.

       An example authorized_keys line using hg-ssh:
              command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-rsa AA...==

       The  user  with  the  specified  key  would  then  be  permitted  to  push and pull to the
       repositories using the URLs:
              ssh://example.com/path/to/repo1
              ssh://example.com//path/to/repo2
              ssh://example.com/~/repo3
              ssh://example.com/~user/repo4
