Help removing files (and good mercurial usage)

[Francisco Diaz Trepat - gmail]

Hi all, I think I am using mercurial pretty badly.

Here is my case:

1) I am using mercurial for a project and I am developing it on different
computers (eg. my own, mi girlfriend's when I'm there, etc.)

2) The way I am moving the project is simply zipping the top folder and
sending it by mail (kind of small project).

3) In the logs for commits I see that different users are used to commit
etc. (logically)

But now I notice a problem, when trying to remove a file (and moreover when
netbens tries to remove a file) it hangs. And when doing it from the console
I get this message:


$ hg rm src/com/fdt/cognoscere/gui/forms/.LCKBundle.properties~
waiting for lock on working directory of c:\stuff\dev\Cognoscere held by
'PC-163:2560'



I am not in the PC-163 at the moment so I asume that remove has to be done
by same user on same pc?


So a couple of things.

1) Am I using mercurial correctly by zipping top folder and using it on
another computer. It works all the time just fine but I now have a problem
removing files.

2) How should I remove files?

3) How can I configure netbeans to do this correctly (the removal) so it
does not get the waiting (locking) message of "waiting for lock on working
directory"...


Best regards,
f(t)
