Adding local Mercurial project to BitBucket?

[thomthom]

I use TortoiseHG for my projects. As it is not I only have a local repository.
I'd like to add it to BitBuckets. How can I do that?

All the guides I find tell you to clone the BitBucket repository, but then what? I don't want to just copy my files from my original local copy into the empty BigBucket repository - I want to preserve the history I've already built.

have you tried to push your local repository directly to bitbucket ?

hg push http://bitbucket.org/user/repo

well, that was easy...

cheers!
