Description

We should guess the path to the executable by checking a series of paths like

  • C:/Program/Mercurial/hg.exe
  • C:/Program Files/Mercurial/hg.exe

And linux versions of common paths

that would probably be:

/usr/local/bin/hg /usr/bin/hg ~/bin/hg

It gets interesting if hg is installed in different locations, though...

In unix shouldn't usually hg be in the path e.g. just "hg" should be fine on most cases?

yep, as on windows - the call, only using "hg" is currently already tried. But if it doesn't work, configuration must be done.

I'd still prefer having the "correct" path to hg.exe guessed and then test with plain hg as the last element. It just looks better

Hm. I still think this is too much fuzzy logic to maintain - but feel free to implement this :-).
