 You can also give specific revisions to an SVN URL, like::
 
-    -e svn+http://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject/trunk@2019
+    -e svn+http://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject
 
 which will check out revision 2019.  ``@{20080101}`` would also check
 out the revision from 2008-01-01.  You can only check out specific
 revisions using ``-e svn+...``.
+
+Using Git and Mercurial is quite similar to that of Subversion -- just use the
+appropriate URL scheme. For a Git repository that is served with the Git
+protocoll you can use::
+
+    -e git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git#egg=MyProject
+
+For a Git repository served over HTTP::
+
+    -e git+http://git.myproject.org/MyProject/#egg=MyProject
+
+Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is also possible:: 
+
+    -e git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@master#egg=MyProject
+    -e git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709#egg=MyProject
+
+The same rules apply to Mercurial, use the ``hg+http`` URL scheme to get it
+over HTTP::
+
+    -e hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject/#egg=MyProject
+
+You can also specify a revision number, a revision hash, a tag name or a local
+branch name to clone from::
+
+    -e hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject/@2019#egg=MyProject
+    -e hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject/@special_feature#egg=MyProject
