+Code Repository
+===============
+
+In addition to the existing Subversion code repository at http://svn.python.org
+there is now a `Mercurial <http://mercurial.selenic.com/>`_ repository at
+http://hg.python.org/ .
+
+After the 3.2 release, there are plans to switch to Mercurial as the primary
+repository.  This distributed version control system should make it easier for
+members of the community to create and share external changesets.  See
+:pep:`385` for details.
+
+To learn to use the new version control system, see the `tutorial by Joel
+Spolsky <http://hginit.com>`_ or the `guide to Mercurial workflows
+<http://mercurial.selenic.com/guide/>`_.
