Hi
I have created a global hg repository in Continua, but cannot get it to sync (pull down) the files to the continuaCI share on the server. The repository validates correctly, and creates the folder in the share with a .hg folder in it, but it does not contain any of the files in the actual hg repo.
I have the same problem when accessing the hg repo either as a folder path or via a web-server. There is no security set on the hg repo.
Any thoughts - is there anything obvious I might have missed...?
Thanks
Matt

The repository cache in the share folder doesn’t not need a working copy. It just contains a bare clone of the hg repo, which is also cloned to the agents when needed, and the source is archived from the clone on the agent as per the Repository Rules on the Stage : [http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/AgEZ](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/AgEZ)
