Wow, that's old.

$ hg log -r 0.6

Mercurial was about 3 months old at that point, rather than 5 years and
3 months. It'll probably work, but..

I don't know anything about mercurial-server (it's a third-party
project), but looking at the docs suggest:

> init repo=ProjectA user=UserA/**,UserB/**

..that this is completely wrong as that seems to suggest you need to
simultaneously be UserA and UserB.

You probably want:

init repo=ProjectA user=UserA/**
init repo=ProjectA user=UserB/**

And it's a bit silly to give two users the right to create a single
project without wildcards, as it can only be created once.
