Hi Ian et al, I found I can fix this "not under root" problem for a repository by deleting it and cloning it back into the same folder again. This hints that there is some path information inside the hidden .hg files and folders that gets "fixed" by cloning it all out of BitBucket again. Although, it would be a stupid design flaw if this were true, meaning that repositories are glued to specific local folders. Extra trouble is that some of my repositories are huge and it will take hours of suffering to clone them back and recompile everything.
I have also been driven nuts for months now by the 20 second VS2013 startup delay and forgetting all open windows if a XAML window was open during last close. I tried using procmon to see what it's doing in the 20 second delay but there is too much clutter and it was wasting time. Out of complete pointless desperation I uninstalled and reinstalled VS2013 with SP1, but what a surprise ... it did nothing. I try to look after my primary development machine ever so carefully, but despite that, it still gets incurably diseased in the most absurd ways. I only rebuilt it last Xmas.
