How do you disable HTTPS host authentication in TortoiseHG for internal self-signed certificates. For internal servers HTTPS is primarily used for encryption. The TortoiseHG documentation says that it is possible to disable host verification (i.e. verification against the Certificate Authority chain) here but I can't seem to find the option. Its supposed to be an option when cloning a remote repository. I am using the latest TortoiseHG 2.0.5 Joel B Fant In the TortoiseHG Workbench, in the Sync tab (or in the Sync screen), if you have a remote path selected, you should see a button with a lock

I'd like to try out a distributed revision control system. I use a couple Windows PCs, a couple PCs with Linux, and a Mac. On windows, I'd like to use Tortoise. Are any of the Tortoises other than TortoiseSVN any good? Until recently, the knock against them has been that they are slow and buggy, but it seems like there's a new push to get them solid. I'd rather not have to try out all three. Anyone make the switch lately and have a good experience? I've been using TortoiseGit for a while. Whilst it's true that git's performance suffers on windows, it's going to be perfectly acceptable in most

So Im a source control idiot so please humor me with this checklist. I finally decided to use Mercurial + TortoiseHg + (VS2010 + HgSccPackage ) + Kiln for my next project. I read http://hginit.com/ and I played around quite a bit, but I don't know much about source control so I don't want to make a mistake here, my current project is my biggest and most valuable one yet. So here is my checklist: Creation : I create a new repo in kiln online. Then clone it on my pc. I copy my entire project folder (Solution with mutiple projects under that folder) into the repo. I add this content into a

I'm struggling on how to correctly track nested repositories using TortoiseHg. I have a main repository that tracks my whole project. This project contains several little plugins that are stored inside a plugins/ subdirectory. I would love to track each plugin independently (committing and pushing to BitBucket for each one of them) while still being able to make a "whole" commit of my project, including the changes made to the plugins and pushing it to an other location (not BitBucket). What I've done so far is creating a new repo for each of my plugins. I can commit and push them to BitBucket

I have used Puttygen to create a public and a private key, and then is ready to let TortoiseHg on Windows 7 do a clone by going to ssh://somebody@code.somewhere.com/somecode but there seems to be no where to add the private key to TortoiseHg? (or even just the mercurial command line) The file is already some where on hard disk as somefile.ppk Does someone know how to add it? Either add the following to the [ui]-section of the mercurial.ini in your home directory (assuming your key is in "C:\Users\UserName\mykey.ppk"): [ui] ssh = tortoiseplink.exe -ssh -i "C:\Users\UserName\mykey.ppk" or use

I've been developing a java application using git as source code repository. I'd like to share the project with other java developers and hg seems to be most used by them. My question is how do I convert a git repository to hg? If I tried googling "convert git to hg" and every search hit is about converting from hg to git. I'm also using TortoiseHg . Spoike The hg convert utility isn't on by default after installation. In order to set it as such add the following to your .hgrc file. [extensions] hgext.convert= If you're using TortoiseHg on Windows then this file resides in your home directory

Is it recommend to change the default .hg folder location to a central place? Instead of having the .hg folder stored under working directory. Since I have accidentally shift-deleted the working directory and lost all commit history. Is there any way to change the default .hg folder location in TortoiseHg? Or any recommendation on backing up the repo? And how? AFAIK, changing the location of the .hg folder is not possible. The presence of a .hg folder indicates that a given folder is a HG repository. Even if it was possible to move the .hg folder itself to another location, there would still

I am using TortoiseHG version 2.4.2 and with either firefox or internet explorer I can browse the following codeplex project just fine. https://hg.codeplex.com/oxyplot The problem is that I cannot clone the repository on my local computer. Initially, I used to get errors like this, URLError: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it Some google-fu later (HOURS later), I figured out that I needed to set proxy settings for tortoiseHg, which annoyingly enough doesn't use the default windows settings. This question helped point me in the right

I have some changed files I don't want to commit (e.g. web.config). Before I pull and update to new changesets, I have to shelve them. After the pull & update, I have to unshelve them. I'm currently using TortoiseHG. Is there any extension which can do this automatically? Christian Specht I'd suggest something else: instead of always shelving and unshelving, you could use two different config files: one which is part of the repository and contains dummy/example data, and another one which each user really uses locally, which is ignored by Mercurial.
