'This is not a valid source path' in Atlassian SourceTree

I'm using Atlassian SourceTree to connect to HgLab. I use it normally with my BitBucket account. I've set up HgLab on IIS 7 and can get to the console just fine. However, when I try to clone a repo using SourceTree, when I enter the Source Path / URL as HgLab provides it to me, I get this error message:
This is not a valid source path / URL
fatal: http://(munged)/hg/(project)/(repo)/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?
abort: unknown revision 'tip'!

It seems not to be recognizing the repo as an Hg repo.

I'm able to use the hg.exe bundled with TortoiseHg to clone without issues.

   Taylor,

   Where does /info/refs part come from? Could you please attach a screenshot with the error?

   Thanks in advance!

   I am not sure where it is coming up with /info/refs. It’s adding that to my source path that I’m providing. /info/refs seems to be a Git thing, which leads me to believe SourceTree is misidentifying HgLab as a Git host instead of an Hg host somehow.

   Taylor,

   A wild guess: is Mercurial support enabled in SourceTree? Go to "Tools" -
   "Options" and click on "Mercurial" tab and check if everything is fine over
   there.

   Yep! I also uninstalled SourceTree and reinstalled it to try to only install the Mercurial bits and skip Git. I'll post a followup with my ST Mercurial config screen.

   You must enable tool ->options ->git - > enable.
   if you have not git, you must dowload Git

   Primero que nada , valida si el sourcetree no te pide actualizaciones, probablemente tengas una actualizacion pendiente, una vez que lo actualices, te vas a tools/options/ luego en la pestaña de git le das en habilitar
