You can use the Mercurial distributed Source Control Management tool
to check out the latest version of Ocean.

Go to http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/ for instructions on how
to download and install Mercurial.  Don't read too much about basic
Mercurial usage, though, since Ocean uses the Mercurial Queues
extension (MQ) for patch-based development (this allows us to track
COLA changes and submit or undo patches without the headaches of
branches).  See http://hgbook.red-bean.com/hgbookch12.html for more
details about MQ.  "hg help | grep '^ q'" is also useful.

To get a working copy for the first time, do:
$ hg qclone http://fig.org/ocean/hg.cgi ocean
$ cd ocean

If you want to apply all the Ocean patches, run:
$ hg qpush -a

When you want to merge the latest Ocean/COLA changes, run "sh pull",
which pops all the patches, pulls the changes from the main web site,
then puts you back to your original patch state.

Happy hacking,
