I've tried to add a mercurial repo cause I've read that this back-end is implemented and I had some troubles with git so that's why I wanna give it a try. But it fails. Seems like SparkleShare isn't recognizing the right back-end...

The problem of git is when I add a punch of 4,5GB in multible files my system gets unusable. Last I've seen that there are used more then 10GB Ram/Swap for git. That's why I wanna try that other back-end.
