The Initialize a Mercurial Repository dialog box enables you to initialize a Mercurial repository from an existing NetBeans project that is not in source control yet.
You can access the Initialize a Mercurial Repository dialog box by choosing either:
In the Initialize a Mercurial Repository dialog box, pecify the path to the intended root of the repository in the Repository root path dialog box or click Browse and browse for the directory required.
The IDE initiates the Mercurial initialize action. You can view files being added to the repository from the Output window (Ctrl+4).
The repository metadata files are placed under the selected repository root directory.
