This, from 2010, indicates that many culprit processes have a similar effect, eg Windows indexing and on-access virus checking.

This was a reported error in 2008 (Sourceforge), no reported fix I could find.

If I use the equivalent context menu from Windows Explorer the commands work and refreshing the TortoiseHG UI shows me the changes. Web searches produce no useful information on this problem. I have no idea what started this, as I haven't run any upgrades or moved folders or done other suspicious things, the problem just started one morning a couple of weeks ago. It's driving me barking mad. Greg K
