[Qt-creator] Mercurial Woes on Windows 7 64 bit

[John Vilburn]

Too bad the error message was not more informative. Instead of:

22:02 Executing: "C:\Program Files (x86)\TortoiseHg\hg.exe" status
abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)!

It would be much better to see:

22:02 Executing: "C:\Program Files (x86)\TortoiseHg\hg.exe" status
abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (C:\myrepositories\myproject\.hg not found)!

If this error message is generated by Qt Creator, perhaps someone on this list with some experience working on Qt Creator could submit this simple fix. It still wouldn't solve your problem, but it would help you discover what was really wrong.
