Thanks. It was "Five Features from Mercurial That Would Make Git Suck Less" http://nubyonrails.com/articles/five-features-from-mercurial-that-would-make-git-suck-less Those five features were: 1. "<scm> init <directory>" (done) 2. "hg commit --close-branch" vs slightly cryptic "git push origin :refs/heads/feature-tweak", which can be written simply as "git push origin :feature-tweak" I think. (that is what this patch series is about) 3. Numeric local references, e.g. 18:a432bc and "hg checkout 18"... but more realistic example would be "hg checkout 6324" :-P 4. sensible defaults: meaning of revert, staging area (i.e. commit -a) 5. "hg serve" (gitweb and a kind of git-daemon equivalent) See the alleged blog for details (I call it 'alleged blog' because real blog has comments which work, and are shown soon after posting them). -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
