Details

For example, I just tried to do an 'hg diff' after making some edits. Result: abort: The filename or extension is too long: c:\sources\mc\.hg\store\data/talos /page__load__test/pages/en.marveldatabase.com___main___page/images4.wikia.nocook ie.net/marveldatabase/images/thumb/5/58/_x-_men___first___class___vol__2__9___te xtless.jpg/100px-_x-_men___first___class___vol__2__9___textless.jpg.i I think Windows has some sort of 255-character length limit that's causing a problem. Anyway, it's a serious problem for developing on Windows.
Sounds like a hg bug, not a build config bug. The Mercurial bug tracker is here: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/
