I just picked up TortoiseHg to use for distributed source control on Windows and installed it on my C drive. Then I created a repository (located in D:\projects). When I try to commit the changes, it gives me the error "abort: None: The system cannot find the file specified" in a new window titled "Commit". This causes the commi...
I would like to tag a changeset in Mercurial to 'Distribution 1.0'. Unfortunatly I cannot find a command line command for creating a tag with a space in it's name.

Currently my setup is this : External SVN repository --> local svn working copy, transformed in a mercurial repository --> clone of this repository as subrepo in my application repo The external SVN is a library which I don't have any privilege on.

I have commit rights to a sourceforge project that is owned by the other, primary developer. I'd like to manage my own changes using mercurial, and in fact I'd like to publish them as a fork of this project on bitbucket. However, I want to be able to easily push changes back to the main subversion project; this won't be a hostile fork, j...

I look at Mercurial repositories of some known products, like TortoiseHg and Python, and even though I can see multiple people committing changes, the timeline always looks pretty clean, with just one branch moving forward. However, let's say you have 14 people working on the same product, won't this quickly get into a branch nightmare ...
I'm working on a GWT project in Eclipse with Mercurial for revision control. Which files should I store under version control? Or, perhaps more succinctly, which files should I not store since they are either part of GWT or are artifacts of the build process? I'm using Eclipse Helios and GWT 2.0.4. This question would apply to any vers...

I'm migrating a set of projects from Subversion to Mercurial. The projects currently use svn:externals to pull code from one into the others. I've been following the recommendation to point externals to a specific revision number and manually update it as needed (so that when I update to a past revision of the main project, I get the pas...

I've just recently moved a lot of my Views and Controllers into more appropriate locations and am now wanting to pull down recent changes from our central repo.

We used to use Visual Source Safe and there was one neat feature that I can't find in TortoiseHG. You right click on a file and click "Show history". VSS opens a list of versions for that file. Then you select two versions (ie: version 50 and version 47) and click the compare button to launch a visual diff of the two versions. How can I...
I heard that if we are working on a feature and then we need to fix something quickly, we can make a temporary clone and then fix the bug, and push to the central repo. First of all, is the temporary repo cloned from the central repo or from our local repo? Also, is it good to clone 2, or 3 repos from the central repo to our hard drive...

Using Mercurial, say if I do an hg pull and hg up and now the local repo and working directory are both up to date. What if I commit often, say 1 day later, and then 2 days later, and want to diff with the revision as of right now? Otherwise, the diff is always comparing to the previous committed version. I can use pencil and paper an...
