On my desktop (where it hangs) I've got:

-----------------------------------------
address@hidden ~]$ git --version
git version 1.7.9
address@hidden ~]$ hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.1.1)
(see http://mercurial.selenic.com for more information)
-----------------------------------------

On my laptop I have mercurial 2.1.1 as well but git-1.7.10, and I just 
saw it works OK there.

So, apparently git-1.7.9 is too old. Something for the wiki?

Thanks,

Philip
