The mq extension
I'm very interested on what the mq extension does. I guess for me it is still a solution looking for a problem, and until I can't fully understand what the problem is, I wont enjoy and fully utilize the solution it provides. Hopefully I can put some stuff that I figure out here.
Random hg use scenarios
Mercurial has a bit of a feature bloat. It is not bad, but it is just hard to know what everything does. There is a LOT of functionality all over the place. This is a place holder of pointer to stuff I seem to forget easily.
- Good repo layout?
- Seems to be a good idea to keep a couple of repos around: upstream, localchanges, outbound. upstream should be kept sync'd with the source, and not modified at all.
- To see changes comming from upstream into one of your local repos do:
$ cd localrepo $ hg incoming
hg clone can be VERY slow under windows if one is running python.org. A way around this was given in the IRC channel (by bos_) by going to this location [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/] and downloading that project. It is a set of python modules (I believe) to, amongst other things, give python the hability to create hardlinks. A nice tool to check for hardlinks in windows is hlscan [http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/new/hlscan-o.asp].
Might want to use kdiff3! I didn't know it was available for windows too! [http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/]
