Mercurial error on commit: "abort: phases.new-commit: not a valid phase name ('')"

Question

I'm getting the following error when attempting to commit to a Hg repository:

Z:\wormcard_maker>hg commit -m "asdf"
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: phases.new-commit: not a valid phase name ('')

This happens over multiple different repositories and has survived re-cloning the repository and reinstalling Mercurial. I can commit to the repository fine from a different computer (running Linux).

I'm running Hg 4.8 as distributed with TortoiseHg 4.8 on Windows 7.

Answer 1

In TortoiseHg just set the "File - Settings - Commit - New Commit Phase" option.
