Hi, Stretch has mercurial 4.0 which is quite old now, I made a backport for mercurial 4.6 on stretch-backports, this required no changes from the package in unstable, so it's pretty straightforward. Here you can find my backport https://apt.logilab.fr/pool/main/m/mercurial/mercurial_4.6-2~bpo9%2B1.dsc I'd be great to have it in stretch-backports. Thanks!
