Public bug reported: Creating a new project and specifying that it shuld be put under version control with Mercurial produces very unhelpful error messages unless the Mercurial binary path and default user name and e-mail are set in the Mercurial version control settings tab.
The application should complain that the user needs to set these before using Mercurial version control, instead of just saying it couldn't create the repository.
