Direct repository access

Other webIDEs that we use allow direct access to their backing repositories, which provides several advantages:

- Code can be edited in a proper editor or IDE as chosen by individual coders, which have many features not provided by the online editor.

- Multiple people can work simultaneously on the same project by working on and merging local branches.

- Having uncommitted changes locally, or committed to an unmerged local branch for later reordering, would have protected us from your recent deletion of a day's work.

Does MBED currently provide such a facility (I can't find one), or have any plans to introduce one?

You can use hg clone on any 'code' URL that you have permissions to or is public
