+static
+
+Create and/or upload a static copy of the repository.
+
+The main goal is sharing Mercurial on servers with only FTP access and
+statically served files, while providing the same information as hg
+serve and full solutions like bitbucket and gitorious (naturally
+without the interactivity).
+
+Install:
+
+* Clone this repo.
+* add this to the [extensions] section in your ~/.hgrc
+  static = path/to/static.py
+  if you have no [extensions] section, add it.
+
+Usage:
+
+* hg static --help
