Mercurial looks in both places for the user config file. When TortoiseHg wants to create a brand new config file, it asks Mercurial for the list of places it will look for the file, then it tries to create the new file at each path in turn, until it is successful. If you prefer the file to be in %USERPROFILE%, feel free to move it there. Mercurial will find it. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
