Thanks Steve, I didn't think this was an automatic feature. I don't know anyone 
who would've/could've run it on my machine, we're a very small company. Also, 
there's at least 60 projects in here, even the most malicious user would've 
been bored running through all of these.

Could a push been done from the main repository to my machine? If the .hg files 
gets corrupted, could it have reverted back automatically? 

This doesn't make any sense at all!


Thanks,

I can't think of any way this could have happened other than someone updating 
each of those repositories by hand.  Even recovering from a backup wouldn't 
have left those newer revisions in the repository.
There's certainly no automated feature in TortoiseHg that could modify a 
repository without user interaction.  Even pushing to a repository will not 
modify its working directory state, this is something that can only be done 
locally.

Mercurial does have a very abstract logging interface, but TortoiseHg does not 
yet hook into it, and I'm not aware of any extensions that use it either.  
There was a "blackbox" extension under development, but it hasn't been included 
with Mercurial yet.

There is also http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ActionLogExtension
