make revlog.addgroup pass its file handles to addrevision This should fix issue255. It looks like the problem there happens when addgroup calls addrevision to add a full revision, and addrevision decides to split the index file into a .i/.d pair. Since addgroup has an open file handle for the index file, the renaming of the new .i file to its final name fails on windows.

#!/bin/sh

mkdir a

hg ci -m "b" -d "1000000 0"

chmod -w .hg

hg clone a b

chmod +w a/.hg # let test clean up

cd b
hg verify
