convert: avoid dirstate checks; add a test
During a conversion, the dirstate contents are not consistent - there
are files that may be missing from the dirstate and there may be files
that shouldn't be in the dirstate.
While this is not fixed, don't mark files as added - put them directly
in state 'n'ormal.

The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat jury-rigged fashion. It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it: Python for Windows http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/python-2.4.3.msi MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ Python for Windows Extensions http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ mfc71.dll (just download, don't install) http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ The py2exe distutils extension http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ISTool - optional http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file) http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path And, of course, Mercurial itself. Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo C:\hg\hg-release. In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program: python setup.py build -c mingw32 python setup.py py2exe -b 1 Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1" doesn't work correctly anymore as it doesn't include the extensions in the mercurial subdirectory. If you want to create a file named setup.cfg with the contents: [build] compiler=mingw32 you can skip the first build step. Copy mfc71.dll and add_path.exe into the dist directory that just got created. If you use ISTool, you open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss file and type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. Otherwise you run the Inno Setup compiler. Assuming it's on the path you run: iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss The actual installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory. To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the following: echo [build] > setup.cfg echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg python setup.py py2exe -b 1 iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release).
