topics show up in TortoiseHg GUI but not the command line

[Ross Boylan]

Finally, able to clone the evolve repository via the GUI, I see topics in the GUI when I enable the topic field in the commit view.

However, `hg topics` in the repository shows nothing.  Adding `--verbose` made no difference.  I have set `hg` as a shell function. that invokes the `hg` embedded in `TortoiseHg.app` with its full path.  `hg topics --help` produces help, and so it seems that the command-line `hg` does have `topics` enabled.

I thought, both from the help and the tutorial contained in the `evolve` repository, that `hg topics` would give me a list of topics.  Have I misunderstood what it is supposed to do?

If my understanding is correct, why aren't I seeing a list of groups on the command line?

Summary of weird stuff:

   1. `clone` from main repo is working again, though nobody said it was fixed.

   2. Although my motive for the fresh clone was that my original clone of `evolve` didn't seem to have any topics, the original clone is now showing topics too.

    3. The GUI seems to be showing topics but use of `hg` on the command line. shows nothing, even though it's the `hg` embedded in `TortoiseHg.app` and it seems to have `topics` (and `evolve`) enabled.

While 3 is my main concern, any explanation or speculation about any of this would be helpful.

Thanks.

P.S. Both extensions enabled through `~/.hgrc` with full paths to my original clone of `evolve`.

Are you running `thg` and `hg` in the same clone or in two different clones ?

I'm not sure I follow the question. `thg` and `hg` are both running off the `TortoiseHg.app`  that was installed from a downloaded `.dmg`, not a clone.  They are using `evolve` and `topic` from a clone, the same clone in both cases.

P.S. The upgrade to MacOS 27.0 apparently removed `rosetta`, because when I tried to run `TortoiseHg` I got a popup saying "To use Intel-based apps, you will need to install Rosetta".  I clicked the link to do so, and then I was able to run the program.  The popup also warned "Intel-based apps requiring Rosetta will not open in macOS 28".  So there is, at the moment, a little bump to get the program to run.
