Interesting!

Your list of installed packages does not include pywin32.

Is it possible to install pywin32 and use win32file in that environment?

What does os.name say?

mercurial.util.winstdout._is_win_9x, openhardlinks ?

Is posixfile_nt of mercurial.util_win32 used?

Can you run hg with my long path experimental patch [1]
and clone a repo like e.g. http://www.cadifra.com/cgi-bin/repos/long2 ?
