When I try to download a project from Google Code using TortoiseHg I got the following message:
abort: 'svn' executable not found for subrepo 'mobile/ios/externals/google-toolbox-for-mac'
I am using this link google.code
EDIT: I am running Windows XP
The repository you’re trying to clone as some Subrepository defined which are on a Subversion repository. The subrepository list can be seen in the
.hgsubfile.In order for the clone to work, you will need to install Subversion on your computer. You can find packages for various platform here : http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
The executable must also be in the path so Mercurial can use it. Since you didn’t give much details about your environment, I can’t help you with that, but I think the installation process should take care of this.
FYI, Mercurial also handles Git subrepository, so if you want to clone a project which make uses of them, you will also have to install Git.
