The mergetools configuration is pretty key to good hgtk usability. People get really annoyed when merge and visual diff do not work as expected, so I prefer it to be installed in a usable location. Mercurial is hard-coded to look in /etc/mercurial and /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d for config files. I think we should take advantage of that. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list Tortoisehg-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
