Eh, what? No. I didn't rename anything.

Basically, on Windows all I do is

  $ hg update -r <some version>
  $ python setup.py build_ext -i

This compiles the python extension modules in-place using the MS
compiler. Then I do

  $ cd tests
  $ python run-test.py --local

And yes, I do have TortoiseHg installed globally, so a hg.exe is in my
PATH obviously. And I do not intend to rename anything in the TortoiseHg
install directory.

How can it possibly pick up a different hg if I specify

  python "$TESTDIR/../hg"

as I wrote in

push \"`pwd`/repo-tag-target\"" tag tag
