--- Comment #4 from Heiko Brümmer
There was such dependency and I have it removed as someday I've needed both latest Mercurial and not so latest TortoiseHG. IMO only way to reliably resolve this dependency is to bundle Mercurial with TortoiseHG in a way it is done for Windows. Or package it separately for tortoisehg.
IMHO, this dependency should be kept for the "ordinary" user. Installing different or maybe incompatible versions can be achieved with zypper/yast on demand, but that is a rare case, I guess.
Anyway, this is quite a piece of work, so patches welcome.
Still, I've done as asked (user experience is a priority): tortoisehg 4.0 now requires Mercurial 3.9 to 4.0. I'm not sure how to get Mercurial 4.0 package except from building it yourself (`osc co -r 178 devel:tools:scm/mercurial ; osc build -k ./packages`), but hope that helps anyway. Last year, it took one or two weeks to get a version of tortoisehg that was compatible with the latest version of mercurial. So I'll wait some days before building it on my own @home.
