Inexplicable “abort: untracked files in working directory”

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

he was talking about the eric5 IDE which has Mercurial support. There was a glitch in it that 
caused the described situation. However, I agree that Mercurial was doing the right thing when 
aborting because there was a change the developer might have lost if the file would have been 
overridden. Nevertheless, situation should be clear now and the topic should be closed.
