I spent a furious amount of time trying many variations of those instructions. I tried on a machine with opensuse 12.2 and one on 13.1. Same result. It keeps complaining that it can’t find hg-ssh. Then I downloaded the hg-ssh script and put it in the path. It now tells me a cryptic
remote: Illegal command "/usr/bin/hg -R cansimtk serve --stdio"
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
Then I remembered I have a Gentoo install somewhere. Installed hg, and it came with hg-ssh. And it worked. So the issue seems to be about something in the opensuse package.
Suggestions on how to get hg-ssh working under opensuse?

Hi
In openSUSE the package is mercurial, doesn’t hg -e|–ssh suffice?
hg-ssh seems to be defunct…

Hi
Ahh it’s a script residing in the release tarball contrib and not
packaged. Grab the tarball from here for 3.1.2… http://mercurial.selenic.com/release/
Extract and copy the contrib/hg-ssh into /usr/bin and check it’s
executable.
Might be worth a bug report…

Not sure it does the same, but this is interesting. Where can I find some usage examples of this “-e” or “–ssh” thing? It is mentioned in the man page, but no clue on how to use it.
Yep. I tried that one and again got “remote: Illegal command “/usr/bin/hg -R cansimtk serve --stdio””. I also tried the source package for the opensuse mercurial package. It does contain the hg-ssh script, but it doesn’t work either. Bugzilla might be the logical next move!
Reading that documentation, it looks as if “hg-ssh” is part of Mercurial. Presumably it is installed with Mercurial or is something you setup following the Mercurial documentation.
I am not familiar with Mercurial.
Both the ssh client and sshd (the server) should be installed by default.
