Yes, the fact that 'forest' is a 3rdparty extension after all this time shows that, for one reason or another, the mercurial dev leads want nothing to do with it. THG, on the other hand, *does* ship with forest so it would be more likely to enable and use it by default. I understand the desire for "least suprise", though, so I won't pursue this further. > That said, patches for forest support is most welcome.

Status support is well beyond my limited python abilities right now. What's the preferred way to submit a patch for consideration? > TK Soh builds the Windows installer.

It looks like even the expanded instructions are still missing info on such things as the Mercurial.ini, Putty, and kdiff3. The Visual Studio 2005 runtime is also missing, but that's a known issue apparently. There is likely more missing, but since I don't know what comes with what, I don't know what it is that I don't know. Perhaps there is an easier way. Do you know of any way to create an installer from an existing installation? As in, if I have TortoiseHg already installed, can I somehow create an installer from that? Maybe treat C:\program files\tortoisehg as the 'dist' directory in your instructions?
