There are some configurations settings that make things easier by getting it out of the way first.

• Proxy:

  • If you are behind a proxy, it's best to define it once, for all repositories on your station to use:
    

    * `Notepad++ > %USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini`:

  ### Mercurial.ini: Sync Settings ### Add something like the following to the ini file:

  [http_proxy] host = d01nzwgpx1:80 user = CORP\Sky
  passwd = XXXXXX

  [tortoisehg] cipushafter = default-push postpull = update closeci = True engmsg = True

  [ui] username = skysigal merge = diffmerge

  [hooks] commit.autopush = hg push

Note that the [hooks] part came from here: http://mercurial.aragost.com/kick-start/en/tasks/

• You do NOT want to chuck into SourceControl your bins and other big useless stuff.
• You need an 'exclude list'
• It's best if it is defined in one place, with each repo pointing back to it.
• Notepad++ Create the following file %USERPROFILE%.hgignore`:

Add the following:

# use glob syntax.
glob:*.exe
glob:*.pdb
glob:*.dll
