I was looking around a bit, and I couldn't really find any until I found
Dotsrc.org (formerly SunSITE.dk), which looks like it might be able to
support a Mercurial server for crossfire. They look like they tend to be
more accommodating to unusual configurations and if there is a default
web quota would likely be willing to expand it due to it being used for
version control. Might want to investigate them for hosting if we indeed
want to use Mercurial.
