temp directory.

[Paolo Minazzi]

Hi,
I keep my source code on a USB pen.
To avoid writes on USB pen, the build is done on a harddisk partition.
In this way I hope my USB pen will works for more time.
I use mecurial to manage my source on USB pen.
My question is :
Does hg use temp files and directory in the same location of source
code ? If yes, for which commands ?
I would like to avoid hg writes/removes temp files on the USB pen.

Thanks in advance.
Paolo
