VisualSVN server is a nice piece of software; particularly in that it uses the builtin Windows authentication mechanism on my server. I'd like to try to start using Mercurial though, and I'd like to keep the Windows authentication scheme.
Is there some way to set this kind of thing up using the tools available on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (in particular, IIS 7)?

The main difference between SVN and TortoiseSVN is that the SVN is a distributed version control system while TortoiseSVN is an SVN client implemented as a Microsoft Windows shell extension.
VisualSVN Server is useful either for home, small business or enterprise users. Includes Apache Subversion 1.14. 2 command-line tools.
If you're using it within a LAN, you can just store your mercurial repo on a windows network share - no need for a server component.
If need it web-accessible, the answer Am linked to above seems to cover how to set up IIS.
If you're not adverse to paying, Kiln might be worth investigating, though I can't tell from the info on the site if they use Windows auth.

Excuse my necroposting, but I've just released an alpha version of HgLab, which is a purely managed Mercurial Server for Windows.
