Authentication information not found under Windows

[Alexander Schatten]

Thanks Steve for the solution, yet my understanding is, that this situation is not optimal. 

This is why I would like to repeat my suggestion (as "only" Steve responded to the initial question): This auth. feature is pretty essential for all Windows users who work with e.g. Google Code. 

I believe, this is the first frustration that new Mercurial users coming via Google Code will potentially face.

In my understanding, Steve even has suggested a patch to fix the issue in Mercurial, if I understood it correctly. 

Even so, I again would suggest to update the documentation to explain this workaround with TortoiseHG.


thanks



Alex
