In general, it is a good idea to have a look at the wiki before
posting here.

Finding information about GUI tools on the wiki isn't that hard.

It's not broken. The new fncache format cannot be read by old versions
of Mercurial.

TortoiseHg *contains* Mercurial, so you would have to build
a new version of TortoiseHg yourself or wait until the next
official release.

As hinted on

http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/fncacheRepoFormat

With ae70fe6143fc (contained in 1.1.1), doing

    hg --config format.usefncache=0 clone --pull A B

converts the local fncache repo A to non-fncache repo B.

With ae70fe6143fc you can also specify

    [format]
    usefncache = False

in your hgrc to disable the fncache format for new local repos and
keep the (pre 1.1) store format.
