I have even copied a repo from a Linux Samba share to an Windows machine without problems. If you don't want to clone from BitBucket every time, you could keep a pristine clone locally and clone your development checkouts from that instead. It is not expensive because if you make clones this way within the same filesystem (i.e. drive letter), Mercurial can make enormous space savings by hardlinking all the history instead of copying it. Be careful about where you're pushing to though because by default, a clone synchronizes with the repo it was cloned from, i.e. your development clones will push to your local mirror and not to BitBucket. -- Thomas > On 6 March 2014 18:43, ILT (O) <[email protected]> wrote: > >> This, from 2010, indicates that many culprit processes have a similar >> effect, eg Windows indexing and on-access virus checking. >> >> >> https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/hgtk/issue/1323/question-mark-overlay-icon-shown-on-folder >> >> That seems similar to me, probably never fixed. >> ------------------------------ >> >> Ian Thomas >> Victoria Park, Western Australia >> >> *From:* [email protected] [mailto: >> [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Ian Thomas >> *Sent:* Thursday, March 06, 2014 3:21 PM >> *To:* ozDotNet >> *Subject:* RE: [OT] TortoiseHG "not under root" error >> >> >> >> Perhaps you have a file open in a viewer?
