Description

AFAIK, Mercurial allows for URLs like ssh://example.org//home/sewe/example-project/. Unfortunately, the Mercurial SCM provider turns this into hg push ssh://example.org/home/sewe/example-project/, which fails if, e.g., the Mercurial server is configured to look for repositories in the user's home directory (may or may not be /home/sewe, depending on your login) unless an absolute path is explicitly requested by using a path starting with a double slash.
