TortoiseHg tries to follow along with this semantic change, primarily in the commit tool.

For example, if you merge the head of branch A into branch B, branch A's head is still considered a repository head even though it has a child in branch B. In particular, a revision with children on other branches but no child on its own branch is still considered a branch head. In Mercurial 1.5, the 'hg heads' command was changed to make it more branch centric. There are more installer details near the end of the release notes.
Tortoisehg manual install#
On 64 bit Windows Vista and Windows 7, explorer is a 64 bit process, so there is no need to install the 32 bit shell extension on these systems in order to have the overlay icons and context menu working in explorer. email clients, browsers - are still 32 bit only). If you don't install the 32 bit ("x86") shell extension on 64 bit versions of Windows, there will be no need to shutdown any 32 bit programs on later upgrades/downgrades (which may be handy, because, typically, lots of programs - e.g. If you don't install any shell extension at all (overlay icons and shell context menu), then no logout/login is needed at all. If in doubt, doing a reboot will make sure all users will get the updated files loaded.
Tortoisehg manual upgrade#
On Windows XP, a logout/login of all users after every msi upgrade or downgrade install is required. Later upgrade (or downgrade) installs won't need a logout/login on Vista and Windows 7, as all affected programs are shut down by the installer and explorer is restarted automatically by the installer. The context menu works without logout/login.
Tortoisehg manual download#
Download the appropriate package for your platform.Īfter the first install of an msi installer (not an upgrade or downgrade from a previously installed msi installer), a logout/login of all users is required to have the overlay icon handler initialized.

Mercurial wordt door onder andere softwareontwikkelaars gebruikt om de broncode te beheren. TortoiseHg wordt primair ontwikkeld voor het Windows-platform en bestaat uit een verzameling van applicaties om met Mercurial te kunnen werken.
