Don't abort when backup files already exist. Don't allow alternative names. Rationale: - When the user wants to revert, he shouldn't be stopped from doing this just because some old backups will be overwritten. - To not clobber important files by accident, alternative names for backup files were disabled. As the backup target now has a fixed name, the user doesn't have to be informed about the backup copy (unless --verbose)

The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat
jury-rigged fashion.
It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it:
Python for Windows
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi
MinGW
http://www.mingw.org/
Python for Windows Extensions
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
mfc71.dll (just download, don't install)
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/
The py2exe distutils extension
http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/
Inno Setup
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
ISTool
http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/
And, of course, Mercurial itself.
Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the
Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo
C:\hg\hg-release.
In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program:
python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1
Copy mfc71.dll into the dist directory that just got created.
Run ISTool, and open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss
file.
In ISTool, type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. The actual
installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory.
