[PATCH v6 00/16] New remote-hg helper:w

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Only a few updates, and has been moved to contrib/remote-helpers
(git-remote-bzr is on the way).

This remote-hg has advantages other tools don't have:

 * Uses transport-helper (git clone hg::path)
 * The code is small
 * The code is simple
 * No external dependencies (other than mercurial)
 * It's easy to install (put into your path)
 * Has extensive tests (for real)
 * Active development
 * Has compatibility with hg-git
 * The required patches are available
 * No changes necesary to git core
 * Support for bookmarks
 * Support for tags

One important alternative is the one written by Sverre Rabbelier that is
now maintained and distributed in msysgit. A list of issues with that
approach (not exhaustive):

 * Doesn't work on newer versions of mercurial
 * There are multiple versions, each with different issues
 * Don't pass a single of this remote-hg's tests

To use it add it to your $PATH (e.g. ~/bin).

 % git clone hd:///full/path/or/url/to/hg/repo

To run the tests:

 % make -C contrib/remote-helpers test

The only caveat is that you need 'python' in your $PATH.

Changes since v5:

 * Move to contrib/remote-helpers
 * Reorganize tests
 * Fix update of bookmarks
 * Fix for older versions of python
 * Performance improvements
 * Improve default branch/bookmark handling
 * Add fixes test-lib
 * Cleanups
