[PATCH] file seperator handling for the other 'OS'...
[PATCH] file seperator handling for the other 'OS' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [PATCH] file seperator handling for the other 'OS' From: K Thananchayan <thananck@yahoo.com> The following patch maintains repo root relative source file names in canonical form (with '/' as file seperator). Mercurial calls os.path.join, os.path.normpath, os.path.walk that use platform's file seperator. This patch does not change seperator in these circumstances (except when the result refer to source files). manifest hash: 2fbb4cb0d3d0bc4f4de5c7c8803fb738072ec6c5 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCuNuBywK+sNU5EO8RAhAZAKCV8cz11+rdof9n1tHb0uDScF34GgCeITNi 4aVikToPXqXyReN9kFP5pnY= =xcV5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Setting up Mercurial:

Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by
default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C
compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3.

First, unpack the source:

$ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz
$ cd mercurial-<ver>

To install system-wide:

$ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default

To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run:

$ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~
$ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # add this to your .bashrc
$ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH #

And finally:

$ hg # test installation, show help

If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set
PYTHONPATH correctly.

Setting up a Mercurial project:

$ cd linux/
$ hg init # creates .hg
$ hg status # show changes between repo and working dir
$ hg diff # generate a unidiff
$ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
$ hg export <rev> # export a changeset as a diff

Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your
repository contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file
paths.

Mercurial commands:

$ hg history # show changesets
$ hg log Makefile # show commits per file
$ hg update # check out the tip revision
$ hg update <id> # check out a specified changeset
# IDs can be tags, revision numbers, or unique
# subsets of changeset hash numbers
$ hg add foo # add a new file for the next commit
$ hg remove bar # mark a file as removed
$ hg verify # check repo integrity
$ hg tags # show current tags
$ hg annotate [files] # show changeset numbers for each file line

Branching and merging:

$ cd ..
$ mkdir linux-work
$ cd linux-work
$ hg init ../linux # create a new branch
$ hg update # populate the working directory
$ <make changes>
$ hg commit
$ cd ../linux
$ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work
$ hg update # merge the new tip from linux-work into
# our working directory

Importing patches:

Fast:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg addremove
$ hg commit

Faster:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch`

Fastest:
$ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p

Exporting a patch:

(make changes)
$ hg commit
$ hg tip
28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190
$ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237

Network support:

# pull the self-hosting hg repo
foo$ hg init
foo$ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/
foo$ hg update # hg co works too

# export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80

# pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH
foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/

# merge changes from a remote machine
bar$ hg pull http://foo/
bar$ hg co # merge changes into your working directory

# Set up a CGI server on your webserver
foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg-linux/index.cgi
foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg-linux/index.cgi # adjust the defaults

Symbolic repository names:

Mercurial uses an options file called ~/.hgrc. To track locations
symbolically, add a section to it like this:

[paths]
main = http://selenic.com/hg
hgweb = http://edge2.net/hg/hgweb/
hgdoc = http://edge2.net/hg/man/
