Mercurial - using "hg serve" to push changes
I've just discovered Mercurial. It's amazing!!! It's a distributed version control system, similar in its flows to git and others from the bunch so if you're already familiar with the concept you'll have no issues working with it.

One thing however is really amazing: it contains a built-in web user interface! Just while being inside the repository type "hg serve" and browse to http://localhost:8000. And there's more to it. "hg serve" can serve as a real server!

There's one thing worth mentioning. If you'd like to use it for hosting a repository there's one thing you have to add to .hgrc (or Mercurial.ini in case you're working in Windows) to make it work:

[web]
allow_push = *
push_ssl = false

Otherwise while trying to push the changes you'll get a message saying something SSL and stuff.

And like I said - Mercurial is great - go check it out!
