that's quite a hassle, indeed...

Yeah, well, that's a point you might argue with ClearCase guys for
hours... They are so used to their spec-files that's hard to beat! I guess
the equivilant to that must be a local clone or branch, but still - am
afraid there is no way to reflect this in hg...
So, I guess to achieve a scenario like the following:
/repo/tool1
/repo/tool2
/tepo/tool3
where you want to merge only changes related to tool1, you would have to
organize it in seperate repos:
/repo1/tool1
/repo2/tool2
/repo3/tool3
Every tool gets its own repo and you are fine, since an update to one tool
doesn't affect the other two.
A concenptual thing, that's what it really is.
Thanks for the reponse.
Greets,
Marko
