Mercurial is a cross-platform, distributed revision control tool implemented primarily in Python that allows software developers to track changes to files and coordinate work on projects. It can be used on Windows and Unix-like systems through command line commands to the hg program. The document provides basic instructions for setting up a new Mercurial repository by creating a local directory and committing and pushing a "Hello World" file to demonstrate creating a new repository.
