The Mercurial plugin provides access to versions of a working copy of a version-controlled file whose path has been entered within one of the path input fields in a file comparison window. If you wish Merge to populate the Versions button drop-down versions menu with any other revisions of the files that you are comparing, enable the Show file versions from SCM systems setting on the Application options page. The plugin requires the Mercurial command-line client ( hg.exe) to be installed and its containing directory present in the Windows system PATH environment variable. It is not able to access the contents of remote repositories, so it is necessary to create a local clone first. The plugin also provides read-only access to revisions of files within a local Mercurial repository. For more information, see Comparing Text Files (or Typed/Pasted Text). The plugin enables Merge to populate the Versions button drop-down versions menu appropriately. It is included as a standard part of the Merge installation.
