Tested with Mercurial 1.5.3, 1.5.4 and 1.6 on:

• Windows XP Professional
• Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86
• Windows Server 2008 R2

Unfortunately, the pager extension is a little broken on Windows, as described in issue 1677 on Mercurial issue tracker, so I have modified it to use a temporary file for storing the commands output, and then call the pager with the temporary file as a command line parameter. You can find the source code on Bitbucket and CodePlex.

My favorite pager on Windows is less.exe, which works just fine with the ANSI codes generated from the Mercurial color extension:

• less 436 binaries
• less FAQ

Tested with Hudson 1.356 on:

• Windows XP Professional
• Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86
• Windows Server 2008 R2

First, follow the Hudson wiki: Installing Hudson as a Windows service. The resulting service is named hudson, and is running under the Local system account.

Next, create a new local user named hudson-user (or any other name you like), which will be used in the next steps:

• alter the hudson service properties to log on as hudson-user
• grant Full control permissions for hudson-user on %HUDSON_HOME% folder

In order to be able to restart Hudson service from the web interface, SubInACL will be used to grant hudson-user the Start Service and Stop Service permission ACEs:

On a fresh install on my PC, TortoiseHg repository explorer looks like this:

The fonts used on the blue regions can be changed as described on the TortoiseHg Frequently Asked Questions page:

[gtools]
# font used in changeset viewer and commit log text
fontcomment = Tahoma 8
# font used for diffs in status and commit tools
fontdiff = Courier New 10
# font used in file lists in status and commit tools
fontlist = Tahoma 8
# font used in command output window
fontlog = Courier New 10

However, the only way I could find to change the font used to display the revision ID is to alter the monospace alias in {TortoiseHg folder}\gtk\etc\pango\pango.aliases:

Requirements

• Git up and running (tested with 1.7.0.5, 1.6.6.2, 1.6.5.8, and 1.6.4.4)
• mongoose, current version is mongoose-2.8.exe
• CGI.pm, current version is CGI.pm-3.48.tar.gz
• perllib
• perllib (alternate location)

Mongoose setup

Rename mongoose-2.8.exe to mongoose4instagit.exe and place it in any folder at your choice, in my case: k:devtoolsmongoosemongoose4instagit.exe

Gitweb setup

In a msysGit shell run the following commands to build gitweb.cgi in case it’s not already present (like after running make clean in /git folder):

cd /git
make gitweb/gitweb.cgi

Next, extract CGI.pm archive content, and copy the content of the lib subfolder to /lib/perl5/site_perl, keeping the folder structure:

The article is based on Install MSysGit wiki page from the msysGit website, and you could also read Updating MSysGit.

For best results use one of the following Git versions:

• Git 1.7.0.5 - recommended
• Git 1.6.6.2
• Git 1.6.5.8
• Git 1.6.4.4

Requirements

• Git source code, current version is git-1.7.0.5.tar.gz
• msysGit full install, current version is msysGit-fullinstall-1.6.4-preview20090729.exe

Setting up Git

First unpack msysGit installer to your desired location (7-Zip works just fine). In my case, the location is K:devtoolsmsysGit. Also, this folder is the root folder inside the msysGit shell, and would be the reference for the rest of the tutorial.

In the K:devtoolsmsysGitgit folder you will find the Git source code provided with the installer. Delete all the files and folders inside it, and then unpack in the same folder the source code of your desired git version.

Final step would be running K:devtoolsmsysGitmsys.bat, which will compile and install git, and leave you to a shell prompt.
