Read Original

Initially, they used the Mercurial package within Cygwin, believing it was necessary for Unix-like path handling. They later discovered that TortoiseHG's native Windows executable handles paths correctly, leading them to switch. The post compares the two setups, discusses command-line usability, and notes performance on network drives.
