What does "Synchronize" actually do and why there isn't an option to run "hg update"?
To me it seems that the "Synchronize <repository name>" option does not actually run "hg update" in the background when using mercurial. How do I do this?
Also an option to "pull and update" would be nice addition...
Thanks,

"Synchronize" is not a VCS operation at all. It reloads the changed files from the file system.
To update your project from Mercurial, use VCS | Update Project or the corresponding toolbar button.
Dmitry Jemerov,
But I found that if any file is changed outside of the PyCharm, PyCharm could automatically update the changed files in its editor window without any user' interaction.
This is a perfect feature in PyCharm, but if so, what's the value of "action of Synchronize" in PyCharm's menu? I propose to remove it. Being simple is the most complex task.
Thanks!
