Non-Working Mercurial after Mac OS X Lion (10.7) Install

Augie:

I commented out a line in the [paths] section of the rc file and the command line behavior of "hg" seems to be restored.  Since I haven't made any changes to the file in quite some time, it must be the newer version of HG that was sensitive to the "bad" path entry.

Problem resolved!

Thanks again for your help.

Best,
Kime
