+--- Fetch back-end for retrieving sources from hg repositories
+-- that use http:// transport. For example, for fetching a repository
+-- that requires the following command line:
+-- `hg clone http://example.com/foo`
+-- you can use this in the rockspec:
+-- source = { url = "hg+http://example.com/foo" }
+local hg_http = {}
+
+local hg = require("luarocks.fetch.hg")
+
+--- Download sources for building a rock, using hg over http.
+-- @param rockspec table: The rockspec table
+-- @param extract boolean: Unused in this module (required for API purposes.)
+-- @param dest_dir string or nil: If set, will extract to the given directory.
+-- @return (string, string) or (nil, string): The absolute pathname of
+-- the fetched source tarball and the temporary directory created to
+-- store it; or nil and an error message.
