TortoiseHg Reviews & Product Details

I have used TortoiseSVN as my default SVN client for several years. I am working on a project that is source in Mercurial and have found TortoiseHg to be a great tool for working with Mercurial. I enjoy the command line tool but the best use I have for TortoiseHg is the visualized branching and merging. It really helps prevent errors from branching Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few bugs I am suprised have not been resolved. One such bug is related to how the client side password is stored. Additionally the GUI while strong is not super intuitive. Furthermore, the GUI takes a lot longer to use than the command line tool. Additionally I have a problem with GUI's in general because programmers should learn to use command line tools.

I don't like that every option is so complicated if you don't read the docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to use at the beginning, but when you are used to it is very easy to work. It allows to work together with other teammates in the same project, document or file. It also can be easily integrated in Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not really like the graphic interface of this platform I think it can improve to increase the experience of using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TortoiseHG is easy to use and stable. We used it while developing an enterprise architecture which included a series of c sharp scripts. Similar to other CM tools, tortoise works well considering its low price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hmmm, overall I dont have anything that I really disliked. A web based version of the tool might be a nice thing if it doesnt exist already. I'm also curious how well you could option metric reports from tortoise since we never exercised that type of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
