>Description:
    I performed an "hg pull" followed by an "hg up" to pull in the latest
    changes from the head repository. I had modified local files but not yet
    checked them in. hg ran a merge, and that's when I saw this. 

    /usr/local/bin/hgmerge:                                                         
    /Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMerge:
    not found

    The merge failed, leaving my repository in an inconsistent state, and I
    had to recover manually. 

>How-To-Repeat:
    Something like this should work. 

    cd $code_directory
    hg init
    hg add *
    hg ci -m "initial"
    cd ..
    hg clone $code_directory mybranch
    edit code in $code_directory, and ci the code
    cd mybranch
    edit files here but do not check in
    hg pull
    hg up

>Fix:
    might want to pull in contrib/simplemerge as the default merge.
