Details of the fix say "Remove currently broken support for arch, hg and monotone". Obviously, this does not make be work for a HG repository. Despite the update system giving me wrong fedora release, and pointing me to an non-usable site, I downloaded and installed the new version. A quick repeat of the testcase confirmed my suspicion, it says No revision control detected. BE repository initialized. now. My conclusion is that it does not fix my issue. I am sad the support was dropped. It does also mean that their documentation is wrong now (it still says that mercurial is supported. Also the fedora rpm blurb says that.
