I just installed VCSCommand and I'm getting an error of "No suitable plugin" whenever I try to run a command. I have a filed loaded in Vim that is in a directory with a mercurial repository.

I found some explanations that the "No suitable plugin" error may be displayed if you're not in a "working directory", which I took to mean that the file you're editing should be in a "working directory" of files checked out from the repository. The problem may that (as a new user to Hg) I don't grok Mercurial properly. The file I'm editing is in a directory where I created an Hg repository just to track my local changes. Commands I issued were 'hg init', then 'hg add' and I've been using 'hg commit', 'hg log', and 'hg diff' happily since. Is this directory not a "working directory" of the repo? Assuming this is the problem, how do I "checkout' the files from the hg repo into a working directory?

Or maybe the above isn't the problem with the "No suitable plugin" error at all. I do have the vcshg.vim file in the correct plugin directory, so the plugin is there.

Thanks, any help appreciated.

UPDATE: Just in case my use of mercurial was the problem I tried creating a 'clone' of my main mercurial repo and editing files in the clone. Still get same 'No suitable plugin.' message.

ALSO: I left out of original message that I'm running on Windows, and I think I've tracked things down to improper quoting of escape codes in strings. Will provide further update once I get full resolution.
