hg-git on windows problems, where to get older (working) hg version for hg-git

[Ernie Rael]

Hi all,

Summary:

  * 5.4 hg breaks hg-git (.../issues/307)
  * 5.4.2 TortoiseHg doesn't have dulwich
  * Can't find 5.0.2 hg (not TortoiseHg) release (or other windows releases)

On Win7 I updated to hg 5.4 a little ago, but just discovered that it 
breaks my hg-git, https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/hg-git/-/issues/307 .

So I thought I might might upgrade to 5.4.2 to see what happens. Looks 
like TortoiseHg is back and the *only* way to get Mercurial on windows.

Now hg-git won't load, TortoiseHg no long has dulwich. I'm sure it used 
to, that's why I got it in the first place, instead of vanilla.

I'll probably try pointing my hgrc's hg-git to current repo for hg-git 
and use 5.4 and cross my fingers.

I was running 5.0.2, now I can't find historic releases of windows hg 
(not TortoiseHg). I did find a 5.1 TortoiseHg, it does have dulwich, 
maybe it works with current release of hg-git. I think it's OK except 
I'm getting a "...github.com: Permission denied (publickey)...". That's 
new. Sigh; now what have I done;-). Other repos work...
