These are mercurial questions, not thg specific. Why should they show up as ignored? It makes no sense to ignore .hgtags. That file is versioned anyway, so it is added and it is always clean by definition (I think). .hgtags is manipulated by 'hg tags'. Please try it yourself or ask on the mercurial mailing list. The #mercurial channel on IRC is usually also quite helpful. You can ignore files with mercurial but add them despite by explicitly adding them with 'hg add <file>'. Once they are added they can be checked in. So you can have files that would be hit by your ignore patterns but still are versioned. I think I even saw people using ignore everything. hg add myfile.txt will then add myfile.txt even if it would be covered by ignore patterns.

There is an 'edit' entry in the context menu. And it works.

I think this could be a bug and I see this behavior here as well for files that are not in the repo root (that is, in a subdir): I get an empty log (I'm running from thg source, using default branch tip). Ha! Just found it! In the file list in status window, the paths are shown using *backslash* path separator. The path is copied as is into the file filter in the filter toolbar in the history dialog. If I then manually change the backslashes into *forward* slashes and hit return, I get a non empty log for that file! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
