hgtk visual diffs

I noticed that from a point in tortoisehg’s history,
extdiff
was broken on default installs. It just kept popping up “No visual tool has been configured”. This happened even if one defined ‘meld’ or ‘/usr/bin/meld
‘ inhgtk userconfig
. Today I got in the mood to debug this. After some hacking andhg bisect
s I found the answer. Where? In the hgtk manual (“use the manual, Luke!”).You’ll need to edit your
~/.hgrc
by hand and add the following in it:[extdiff] cmd.meld = meld opts.meld =
Now, the ‘meld’ option will be available in hgtk’s userconfig tool and will be used for visual diff operations.
