r28060 | cHg | ||
=== | ||||
A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix. | ||||
Install: | ||||
$ make | ||||
$ make install | ||||
Usage: | ||||
$ chg help # show help of Mercurial | ||||
$ alias hg=chg # replace hg command | ||||
$ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server | ||||
Environment variables: | ||||
Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be | ||||
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially | ||||
handled: | ||||
|
r28454 | * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default. | ||
|
r28060 | * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the | ||
background command server. | ||||
The following variables are available for testing: | ||||
* CHGDEBUG enables debug messages. | ||||
* CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver. | ||||
|
r29345 | * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up | ||
|
r29357 | connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60 | ||
|
r46125 | |||
Build environment variables: | ||||
* HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set, | ||||
instead of "hg" | ||||
* HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg | ||||
relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg" | ||||
otherwise. | ||||
