Mercurial push, abort: authorization failed

Question

I\'m having problems with pushing to mercurial repository:

$ hg push
pushing to https://user:***@hg.domain.com/X_repo
searching for changes
abort: authorization          


        

Answer 1

My problem was a bit different. Password change triggered it... And I had a repo/.hgrc and a repo/.hg/hgrc. Not sure why, but these were conflicting.

For the record, the cleanest way I've found is to keep a global configuration file (on Windows C:\Users\\mercurial.ini or Linux /home//.hgrc) with all the configuration that applies to all repositories (profiles, plugins/extensions, repos, etc), and then per repo, just use something like:

[paths]  
default = https://path/to/remote/repo

# any other repo-specific config

Why I had another repo-specific mercurial config file, I don't know -- now everything is cleaned up and working nicely.
