Priority: normal
Bug ID: 4647
CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
Summary: Feature request to calculate the size of the remote
repository before cloning
Severity: feature
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: visionofarun at gmail.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Mercurial
Product: Mercurial
At present it is not possible to calculate the size of the remote repository
before cloning it. Users with slow network connection (genuinely slow &/or
through VPN, etc) may want to assert the size of the repo before attempting to
clone it.
In my case, I wanted to clone the repos from Mozilla central
(https://hg.mozilla.org/). Before I clone, since my network is slow and
intermittent, I wanted to see how big the repos are so that the clone doesn't
abort. But it wasn't possible and I had to check with people in Mozilla IRC.
A command to print the size of the remote repository would be very helpful
before cloning it.
I am not sure if the same can be extended to calculate the size of the incoming
csets, but that would be good to have as well.
Thanks!
