IntelliJ and Mercurial Won’t Play Right?

Well let’s see — you have Hg installed on your machine via TortoiseHg.  You are using IntelliJ.  You’ll notice the locations and options in each UI you use – command line, Tortoise right-click, tortoise UI, or IntelliJ menus depending on where you are — have almost zero parody.

I noticed that one of my IntelliJ Hg projects wasn’t recording changes in the IntelliJ UI.  Found out that IntelliJ needs a little setting after you open your Hg-based project to get everything running on all cylinders:

Go to File->Settings->VersionControl and enter your project directory and select Mercurial for your repository.  Do this for each project.

Then your IntelliJ should play nicely.
