The docs say all I need to do is add this:
[extensions]
progress = # shows progress bar for certain tasks
but when I try to clone this repo it doesn't let me because the extension can't be found. It says it's packaged with 1.5 and later and I'm running 1.9.2:
> hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.9.2)
(see https://www.mercurial-scm.org for more information)
Any ideas on why it's not loading?
The problem is coming from the "comment" you added on the line. According to the documentation :
Lines beginning with # or ; are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
You can't put a comment like this where you did. Just replace your config with :
[extensions]
# shows progress bar for certain tasks
progress=
And everything will be fine.
Secondly, as I understand you have activated the extension on the server side ? This extension must be activated on the client side.
