Explorer of Windows 7 has indeed the same problem as Vista.

Mercurial already worked around this problem of Explorer by introducing
a new repo format with version 1.7 (dotencode format) which encodes
leading spaces inside .hg/store.

Look into the file .hg/requires in your repo. If it contains

revlogv1
store
fncache
dotencode

then the repo is using the current latest format which is resilient
against explorer of Vista and Windows 7 stripping leading spaces of
filenames.

Upgrading to a newer version of Mercurial will not change the format of
your existing repos. So the best thing for you is using the latest
version of Mercurial and converting your repos to the newest format.

Conversion happens if you do 'hg clone --pull oldrepo newrepo'.
