No, this fails on both network drives and the local harddrive. It is
however running in a Cygwin bash shell (running the TortoiseHg cmd line
program, not the Cygwing hg), so I guess there is something going on in
the disk access in the Cygwin layer. Trying from the explorer right
click menu using the Tortoise diaglogs results in a "silent" crash on
the second commit, which is not successful.

$ cat .hg/requires

Not really anything out of the ordinary:

$ cat $HOME/.hgrc
[ui]
username = Jens Lund <jens.lund at nordea.com>

[extensions]
hgext.graphlog =
hgext.extdiff =
hgext.hgk =
hgext.bookmarks =

transplant =

[extdiff]
cmd.kdiff = kdiff3

I am a bit in doubt here. As far as I can see, the TortoiseHg installer
only contains the compiled pyc files in library.zip, and not the "raw"
Python files? Am I looking in the correct place? In order to
nevertheless try the patch I installed the Cygwin version of hg --- that
one does not fail (which I suppose is somewhat consistent with it not
failing on Linux either). Thus specific to the TortoiseHg installer.
(Haven't tried the plain Windows installer.)
