Mercurial stuck “waiting for lock”

Question

Got a bluescreen in windows while cloning a mercurial repository.

After reboot, I now get this message for almost all hg commands:

c:\\src\\>hg commit
wai         


        

Answer 1

If it only happens on mapped drives it might be bug https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/889/cant-commit-file-over-network-share. Using UNC path instead of drive letter seems to sidestep the issue.
