Dear all,

We recently started using Mercurial for version control within our
company.  Most people use their local hard drive for the working
directory (and use Microsoft SyncToy to ensure that un-pushed changes
are backed up on the network drive).  However, our department manager
prefers to work on the network drive all of the time.  He has been
having a lot of problems with TortoiseHG: most times he tries to pull
he gets something like this:

    % hg --repository F:\Working directory pull --verbose F:\VCS\Project
    pulling from F:\VCS\Project
    searching for changes
    2 changesets found
    adding changesets
    adding manifests
    adding file changes
    added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
    transaction abort!
    rollback completed
    abort: The process cannot access the file because it is being used
by another process
    [command returned code 255 Tue Jul 17 16:57:26 2012]

Hitting Ctrl-Shift-T to open a terminal and typing "hg pull" works
every time.  I've tried to identify if there are any other processes
on this or any other computer that might be accessing F:\Working
directory\.hg, but I'm fairly sure there are none.  The only
application running on the 'test' computer is TortoiseHG (plus all the
IT standard virus scanners etc, which we can't do anything about).  It
seems unlikely, however, that another application is causing the
issues as I would expect that to result in the command line "hg pull"
to fail as well as the GUI version.

Has anyone experienced this?  Are there any known work-arounds?

Thanks in advance,

Al
