Hey guys,

So yesterday, I experienced a hell of a lot of problems with  
MercurialEclipse.
First of all, I created a repository inside of my project dir (i.e.
another repository) directly via hg. Obviously this failed: When I
refreshed the package explorer or did something to my repository
(commit, push, ...) I received error messages like that:
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/3395/mercurialeclipseerrornh7.png

Also, I was wondering why I couldn't just create a new repository in a
folder with MercurialEclipse? As far as I can see, cloning is the only
option at the moment?

Secondly, wasn't there an entry in the context menu ("Team") in former
times that allowed me to add files to  .hgignore?

Thirdly, when cloning a remote repository, my username and password
are still saved in the URI. Ok, passwords are hidden, yet I still
don't like the way the whole is managed. Because: When I'm using the
URI with username and password in it, I can't push to this repository
(bitbucket.org wiki repository) whereas when I'm using the plain URI
and fill out the username / password text fields, everything's fine.
Furthermore I noticed that the usernames are still being stored
somewhere (Including an empty username popping up in the middle of the
username dropdown list and "hg" which are both wrong and which I both
don't need.) and still can't be deleted.

I could imagine the whole thing to work like this:
When committing, pushing, cloning, ... the user can just select
between the repositories already existing, but by clicking on a button
"Add repository" he can add another repository. There, he should have
several options, like repository URI, username, password and whether
only the username, both, username and password, or nothing should be
saved. That is, usernames / passwords aren't available for all
repositories but only for one. Besides, what about giving repos a
name?
As for local repositories, you could also give an option like "Always
push to this repository:", because it's a pain in the ass to always
select the respective repo and if you're unlucky, you accidentally
select the wrong one (as the repo URIs are somewhat similar) and
push... :/
Also, as indicated above, I'd love to have nested repositories, if
this possible at all and not limited by hg itself?

Additionally, somewhere in the preferences window the user should be
able to edit all these settings again for each repository.


Regards,
Simon
