Hi guys,

I've searched for a portable version of Mercurial -- a version that you
can put on a USB stick and then run on all (Windows) computers without
having to install it first and especially without having admin rights.

It turns out there is a community for such things... as always on the
Internet :-) They had already made a trial package for version 1.4.3 and
I asked a guy there if he could make an updated version. Which he could:

But I'm not really using Windows after all, so I hope someone on this
list can test it instead. Please let me know how it works -- I'll add a
comment on the site linking to this thread.


The next step would be to do the same for TortoiseHg... without knowing
much about Windows, I don't expect to be able to run the shell
integration. But even just having hgtk in a command prompt would be a
great step forward.
