Get the
<a href="http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/wiki/download">TortoiseHG Download</a>
bundle and install it. It install into the directory:
<blockquote>
<tt>"C:/Program Files/TortoiseHG/"</tt>.
</blockquote><p>
After installing it:
</p><ol>
<li>
Edit the file <tt>"C:/Program Files/TortoiseHG/Mercurial.ini"</tt>
and make sure the ssh command used is from CYGWIN and not Plink.
Unless of course you want to use Plink, it's up to you.
</li>
<li>
Prepend <tt>"C:/Program Files/TortoiseHG/"</tt> to your <tt>PATH</tt>,
make sure it is before <tt>/usr/bin</tt>, so that running
<tt>hg version</tt> tells you it is TortoiseHG.
</li>
</ol>

<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
On Windows, the default CYGWIN <tt>hg</tt> will not work on
some of the repositories, so
you can downgrade the CYGWIN <tt>hg</tt>
version to 1.0.2 or switch to use the
<a href="file:///Users/ohair/Downloads/README-builds-1.html#tortoisehg">TortoiseHG</a>
build of Mercurial, which is a 1.3.1 or newer version.
The problem centers around the Windows limits to
full pathnames.
Mercurial <tt>.hg/</tt> files
can end up with much longer filenames than
the file they represent in the working set, or the files
you edit. The most recent releases of Mercurial have
optimized these path lengths, but versions like 1.1
had made the problem worse, resulting in some of our
repositories not cloning. Version 1.0.2 was ok,
but 1.3.1 or newer is best. Unfortunately, at this time, 1.3.1 is
not available with CYGWIN.
</li>
<li>
On Windows, the CYGWIN <tt>hg</tt> is a Python script
and doesn't play well with the native Windows system.
Some ant scripts try and run <tt>hg</tt> and ant will
fail when running a Python script.
Using <a href="file:///Users/ohair/Downloads/README-builds-1.html#tortoisehg">TortoiseHG</a> solves this
problem because it provides a <tt>hg.exe</tt>. </li>
