What do you like best about TortoiseHg?

It is conceptually simple and easy to use. The best part is the graphical visualization of the branches and its commits. We can easily pull and merge the code without typing in the console. We can easily switch the branch one to another and it is very useful for collaborative development if you are working the same project with multiple developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TortoiseHg?

If any error in the server like while merge and pull means they are not showing the detailed error log and a bit difficult to understand the error messages. Mainly they do not provide partial checkouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TortoiseHg:

If you are working with the same project with multiple developers and then you must use this tool. It makes developers very easy to work with their project files without any conflict. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TortoiseHg solving and how is that benefiting you?

In initially we don't have any version control system to merge all codes from developers so it always ended up with a big problem and then we switch to this tool. Now we can easily push and pull the code from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
