No. > I’m still not even sure > which function was to blame the first time as we didn’t clone anything, > just a load of merging, updating, committing, rolling back etc.* Near as I can tell, only local "hg clone" will create hardlinks. "Local" means something like (on the command line): $ hg clone <file system path A> <file system path B> So you shouldn't do that on your network drive. "clone --pull" will not create hardlinks. So you could use that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
