We are just starting to study and evaluate Mercurial due to the increase in the number of nightmare clots and other problems that we have had with SVN recently.
The client wants us to pull out a live copy of our site, do some SEO work and get back to it. They have no control over the source code. I think this is a great project to work with Mercurial. Instead of putting it in our SVN and exporting it when we finish, we will use Mercurial ... But right away it seems that I have some problems :)
They have a file with a name ---.configthat seems to be calling our Mercurial barf. It simply cannot transfer this file. I created a repo and transferred everything else, but I just can't get this file.
We are running Windows 2008 x64 with TortoiseHG 1.0.
I assume that I can ignore the file, since it is unlikely that we will need to work with it, but still - I would like to learn how to use Mercurial a little better. Is there any way around this?
EDIT: here is the error message:
('commit', GetoptError('option
This happens when I click the commit button in TortoiseHG with the selected file.
