Thanks Adrian, shall try to look at it tomorrow. I asked on #mercurial about whether this bug would affect the hardlinks created by `hg clone` and ThomasAH thought not (as I do). Only files outside of .hg/store/ hardlinked by operations such as `cp -al`. So unless your page or my own digging into the code is going to convince me otherwise, I still think this bug is not that critical on Windows. Not sure I can do this in time, though, as I'm going on vacation again Saturday. -parren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
