Spider Goat

On June 2nd-4th, 2006, the joint Bazaar-NZ and Mercurial sprint took place in London, UK, under the code name "Revenge of the Spider Goat".

See:

  • the Mailing list announcement

  • Bryan's writeup: Part I and Part II

  • the photo: spidergoat-2006.jpg

  • the people in the photo (from left to right): Matt Mackall, Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Thomas Arendsen Hein, Mark Shuttleworth, Benoit Boissinot, John Arbash Meinel, Robert collins, Bryan O'Sullivan.

Topics for London sprint:

  • efficient handling of tags
    • we currently read the manifest of each head in order to figure out which versions of the hgtags file to use. on a moderately large repo, even a single head makes this very slow
  • possible improvements to branch tag algorithm
    • when merging named branches A and B, the new head shows up as the head of both A and B, so the asymmetry of "merged A into B" is not preserved
  • what do we want to do, if anything, about deletions in file level revlogs?
  • revisit appendfile
    • might be simpler to handle changelog specially; manifest doesn't need appendfile at all
  • merge w/renames
  • improving docs
    • api docs
    • user docs
  • more efficient findincoming?
  • rsync/sftp support
  • http{,s} push support
    • add "unbundle" verb for ssh and http, to avoid exposing locking to remote clients
  • handling of case-sensitivity and locale issues
