Query regarding mercurial command

[Nitin Negi]

Hi Vishakh,



In pursuance with my last mail, now I am trying to -



Step 1. Create Central Repository in one machine and commit the files in it



Step 2. From the second system trying to get the list of files/folders from the central repository by http://blackducktwo:8000/



Please let me know that is it feasible to get the list of files/folder from the central repository with the way i am following, if not, what would be the right way ?



Mentioned below are the detailed steps i did -

Step 1. I had created a central repository using Mercurial's built in web server in my system with the following command:-



C:\> mkdir CentralRepo

C:\> cd CentralRepo

C:\CentralRepo> hg init

C:\CentralRepo> hg serve

Since my computer name is blackducktwo.I can just go to http://blackducktwo:8000/ with a web browser and see that the server is up and running, even though the repository there is completely empty



Step 2. After that I cloned it to my system using command 'C:\Users\Nitin> http://blackducktwo:8000// recipes' I get the empty repository. After that I added files in the recipes folder, commit it and push it to the central repository. I had done the necessary changes in the .hg\hgrc on the server i.e... (Screenshot attached Pic1.jpg)



[web]
push_ssl=False
allow_push=*



Step 3. I have another system in which Mercurial is already installed. There in the command prompt I tried 'hg manifest -R http://blackducktwo:8000/CentralRepo' command to get the list of folder/files.

But I am getting an error mentioned below in the command prompt where 'hg serve' was running. (Screenshot attached Pic2.jpg).

most hg commands operate on local repositories
hence the 'abort: repository not local'. clone the repo first and do
the same locally.
