Mercurial hook - hg update

[Mohammed, Khursheed]

Thanks Martin for your reply

On Windows IIS the hgwebdir.cgi script is configured to run as "Integrated Window authentication" with basic authentication.

Thanks

The webserver must be able to write to the working directory. So are you
sure you run the webserver (the hgwebdir.cgi script) as the same user as
when you tested?

This is different from when you push to a server using SSH -- in that
case you log in with your own user and gain the rights of that user.
With HTTP, all operations are done as the webserver user.
