[TxMt] Mercurial (was: Working with CVS in TextMate)

[Sean Schertell]

Hey Fred -- as you requested, I have some feedback for you on your  
handy HG (mercurial) bundle.

It's awesome! Just so long as I don't work from a remote server which  
I unfortunately always do. I have a FreeBSD box about 10 feet from me  
which I connect to via AFP protocol and mount as a shared volume.  
This works fine for TM, but the hg bundle doesn't seem to be able to  
work with it -- just doesn't find the hg repos at all. Any tips?

Sean
