Finding out how many organizations and people use sub repositories

[Dario Ahdoot]

We don't use them in their official capacity as they are officially a
feature of last resort and the workflow for using them just seemed too
painful and not very well supported in popular Mercurial GUIs. However, we
needed to break out our monolithic repository into many small repositories
and maintain some sort of dependency relationship between them.

We ended up hand rolling our own solution which piggy backed on Gradle and
Ivy for dependency management. Wrote it in Python and made use of Python
hglib to clone/update dependencies. Took a little while to get up and
running but we're pleased with it.
