Due to lack of Mercurial support on sourceforge servers I've decided to host disser repository in the following places:
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/disser/
http://freehg.org/u/sk/disser/

Feel free to visit these mirrors.

I'm sick and tired of Subversion's limitations and performance, so starting from version 1.0.5 I will do revision control using Mercurial. Public repository of this project is available here: http://disser.sourceforge.net/hg/disser/
