No need to apologize. THg is so cool that I can live with it anytime. :) It's just that I figured it should work similarly to TortoiseSVN, but from reading I understand that it's not like that due to THg being much more python-ish. > AFAICS, the only solution that make sense is to move to C++ shell > extension implementation.
