Hmm, I set up a setvars file like this: echo "1" AB_HG="https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg"; echo "2" (a randomly selected hg repo) and I get: Autobuilder: Fetching source for tortoisehg abort: repository "https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg"; not found! It turns out that the quotes on AB_HG are getting passed through to hg, ie it's trying to call: hg clone "https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg"; and hg doesn't like that. As to why the quotes are getting passed through, it appears fetch-program is a pile of grep hacks that don't actually parse the setvars file, they just do basic text extraction. What I'm guessing is that your hg URL is tripping up the grep and it's somehow trying to launch your hg URL in a browser (how, I can't tell without the URL). So I suggest stripping the quotes, ie AB_HG=https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg This successfully checks out on my machine. If your URL has any unusual characters (spaces? UTF-8? odd punctuation?) can you say what they are?
