Mercurial tries to find out if the filesystem supports executable flags,
which Mercurial tracks.

That file is a temporary testfile, it should have been deleted.

You can trigger the test manually by doing (Windows 7):

  $ hg debugfsinfo
  exec: no
  symlink: no
  case-sensitive: no

On Ubuntu Linux:

  adi@ubuntu1:~$ hg debugfsinfo
  exec: yes
  symlink: yes
  case-sensitive: yes

Are you running a virus scanner? If yes, what is the product name? (just
for my secret statistics).

Virus scanners holding files open might block file deletion.
