+Version Control in CI
+=====================
+
+Upgrading Mercurial
+===================
+
+Upgrading Mercurial in CI requires touching a handful of different
+components.
+
+Vendored robustcheckout
+-----------------------
+
+The ``robustcheckout`` Mercurial extension is used throughout CI to
+perform clones and working directory updates. The canonical home of
+the extension is in the
+https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools repository
+at the path ``hgext/robustcheckout/__init__.py``.
+
+
+When upgrading Mercurial, the ``robustcheckout`` extension should also
+be updated to ensure it is compatible with the version of Mercurial
+being upgraded to. Typically, one simply copies the latest version
+from ``version-control-tools`` into the vendored locations.
+
+The locations are as follows:
+
+- In-tree: ``testing/mozharness/external_tools/robustcheckout.py``
+- Treescript: ``https://github.com/mozilla-releng/scriptworker-scripts/blob/master/treescript/treescript/py2/robustcheckout.py``
+- build-puppet: ``https://github.com/mozilla-releng/build-puppet/blob/master/modules/mercurial/files/robustcheckout.py``
+- ronin_puppet: ``https://github.com/mozilla-platform-ops/ronin_puppet/blob/master/modules/mercurial/files/robustcheckout.py``
+- OpenCloudConfig: ``https://github.com/mozilla-releng/OpenCloudConfig/blob/master/userdata/Configuration/FirefoxBuildResources/robustcheckout.py``
+
+
+Debian Packages for Debian and Ubuntu Based Docker Images
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+``taskcluster/ci/packages/debian.yml`` and ``taskcluster/ci/packages/ubuntu.yml``
+define custom Debian packages for Mercurial. These are installed in various
+Docker images.
+
+To upgrade Mercurial, typically you just need to update the source URL
+and its hash in this file.
+
+
+Windows AMIs
+------------
+
+https://github.com/mozilla-releng/OpenCloudConfig defines the Windows
+environment for various Windows AMIs used by Taskcluster. Several of
+the files reference a ``mercurial-x.y.z-*.msi`` installer. These references
+will need to be updated to the Mercurial version being upgraded to.
+
+The ``robustcheckout`` extension is also vendored into this repository
+at ``userdata/Configuration/FirefoxBuildResources/robustcheckout.py``. It
+should also be updated if needed.
+
+Puppet Maintained Hosts
+-----------------------
+
+Some hosts (namely macOS machines) are managed by Puppet and Puppet is used
+to install Mercurial.
+
+Puppet code lives in the https://github.com/mozilla-releng/build-puppet repository.
+Relevant files are in ``modules/mercurial/``,
+``modules/packages/manifests/mozilla/mozilla-python27-mercurial-debian/``,
+and ``modules/packages/manifests/mozilla/py27_mercurial*``. A copy of
+``robustcheckout`` is also vendored at
+``modules/mercurial/files/robustcheckout.py``.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The steps to upgrade Mercurial in Puppet aren't currently captured here.
+   Someone should capture those...
