I don't know about Mercurial, but with git it's pretty easy to set up
a post-push hook that gets run whenever new changes hit the server.
>From there, you could have some registered replicas that get
immediately told to pull, which will give fairly immediate
replication. It's not actually real-time, but you have a guarantee
that they're up-to-date - if any change gets missed, it'll be caught
in the next update. It'd take a little work to set up, but you could
have something almost as convenient as shared folders but without the
messes and risks.

*Definitely* use source control.
