Hey guys i've been using Mercurial for a few weeks now and can't help but notice that a number of .bak files appear in the working directory that Mercurial is managing. Is this Mercurial that generates all of these .bak files ? Can I tell Mercurial to clean them out or to simply not make them? ..why are they needed? The whole point of Mercurial is to store revisions in the .hg folder.

Google turns up nothing. (Oddly enough)

Any help appreciated.

Can't remember it ever doing that to me... maybe it's your editor/IDE?

mercurial keeps everything in .hg, I'm pretty sure : )

My bad. Big Laff It was WinMerge generating the .bak files as part of its merge-safety procedure!

Anyways, I must say muku, this tutorial is great work. I now personally prefer using Mercurial from the command line. TortoiseHG is great, but the command line process is just so slick once one gets used to it!
