The key is in getting the Mercurial with the forest extension installed--I
had 0.9.5, which didn't, and I couldn't figure out where to get it or how to
install it; I eventually ended up getting the "Batteries Included"
installer, and it appeared there. (But only in one of the four .exe's that
are up on Sourceforge. :-/ )
I pulled the bits down, so will try the build tonight....
By the way, Daniel, how did you download the forest extension? The Mercurial
wiki didn't have a good download link that I could find--the only link I saw
took me off to a changeset/revisions page....?
Hi Ted,
I used mercurial 'hg clone' to download it ;-)
hg clone http://www.terminus.org/hg/hgforest hgforest
The forest extension is written in python - so there are no
binaries. Just clone the repository and update your
Mercurial.ini file to point to it:

Where and how do I install the “forest extension” to Mercurial for a
Windows box? (I really want to make the jump ASAP, assuming the
repositories are no longer in “test” status…)
Hi Ted,
This is how I did it on my XP Home PC at home:
1) I Installed Mercurial in c:\Mercurial.
2) I cloned the forest repository in c:\Mercurial.
In a cygwin terminal:
cd c:/Mercurial
hg clone http://www.terminus.org/hg/hgforest hgforest
3) Then I edited c:/Mercurial/Mercurial.ini and added the lines:
[extensions]
forest=c:/Mercurial/hgforest/forest.py
as documented in the Mercurial Wiki.

Hope this helps,
