                Some Projects that Use Mercurial

User config.

============

Put to your ~/.hgrc::

  [ui]

  ; Editor for editing commit message.

  editor = gvim

  ; Who commit.

  username = Oleksandr Gavenko <gavenkoa@gmail.com>

  ; Use internal merge algorithm, which mark conflict like <<<<<< ====== >>>>>>.

  ; Save previous file version in '*.orig' file, after merge must be marked as

  ; resolved by running 'hg resolve -m <file>'.

  merge = internal:merge

  [web]

  ; Default encoding for file hosted by 'hg serv'.

  encoding = utf-8

Multiline log message for log command.

--------------------------------------

By default 'hg log' show only first line of log message. To see all message

run::

  $ hg log -v

or put into ~/.hgrc::

  [defaults]

  log = -v

Follow history ever when file copied.

-------------------------------------

By default 'hg log' show only history after last file copy. To see log message

before copying run::

  $ hg log -f

or put into ~/.hgrc::

  [defaults]

  log = -f

Show supported/loaded plugin.

=============================

::

  $ hg help extensions

  $ hg showconfig extensions

Useful extension.

=================

Put to your ~/.hgrc:

  [extensions]

  ; To allow 'fetch' command.

  hgext.fetch =

  ; To allow Mercurial Queues.

  hgext.mq =

  ; To import revisions from foreign VCS repositories into Mercurial.

  hgext.convert =

  ; Usage:  hg glog <dir>

  hgext.graphlog =

  ; Enable '.hgeol' tracking (fix for CR/LF).

  hgext.eol =

Show diff against 2 parents or base during merge.

=================================================

::

  hg diff -r 'p1()'

  hg diff -r 'p2()'

  hg diff -r 'ancestor(p1(), p2())'

Downgrade repository format.

============================

To get list of supported repo formats type::

  $ hg help config

and look for "format" section. To be Mercurial 0.9.4 compatible use::

  $ hg clone -U --pull \

    --config format.usefncache=0 --config format.dotencode=0 $oldr $newr

Clone specific branches.

========================

::

  $ hg clone http://your/repo -r $branch

Closing branches.

=================

::

  $ hg branches

  $branch (inactive)

  ...

  $ hg branches -a

  ...                     # no $branch

  $ hg up -r $branch

  $ hg ci --close-branch -m "Bla-bla-bla"

  $ hg up -r default

  $ hg branches

  ...                     # no $branch

  $ hg branches -c

  $branch (inactive)

  ...

To reopen closed branch just update to it and commit anything!

Remove/rename files history from repo.

======================================

::

  $ cat >filemap.txt <<EOF

  exclude path/to/file-or-dir

  rename path/to/source path/to/destination

  ...

  EOF

  $ hg convert --filemap filemap.txt $repo_orig $repo_new

  $ hg -R $repo_new up

See:

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ConvertExtension

Fix branch names.

-----------------

::

  $ hg convert --branchmap $branchmapfile oldrepo newrepo

To convert non-ASCII names use UTF-8 coding for 'branchmap' file.

When converted names with spaces only last space in 'branchmap' file treat as

separator between old branch name and new, so new branch name can not contain

spaces.

Joining history of two repos.

=============================

::

  $ cat >filemap1.txt <<EOF

  rename . dir1

  EOF

  $ cat >filemap2.txt <<EOF

  rename . dir2

  EOF

  $ hg convert --filemap filemap1.txt $repo1 $repo_new

  $ hg convert --filemap filemap2.txt $repo2 $repo_new

  $ hg -R $repo_new merge

  $ hg -R $repo_new ci -m "Join $repo1 and $repo2."

Publishing repo.

================

With static HTTP hosting you can copy via rsync, ftp, scp, etc., so long as all

the files beneath .hg are copied. Also since 1.1 pull protocol can detect static

HTTP hosting::

  $ hg clone http://example.com/project

See:

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/hgserve

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgWebDirStepByStep

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/StaticHTTP

hgweb.config.

-------------

Set allowed project by specifying paths to they (keys are URL, values are fs

paths)::

  [paths]

  myproject = /home/user/hg/myproject

  otherproject = /home/user/hg/otherproject

You can use single wildcard '*' to search current subdirs or double wildcard

'**' to search subdirs recursively::

  [paths]

  myproject = /home/user/hg/my/*

  otherproject = /home/user/hg/other/**

Alternatively you can set a collection of repos (keys and values are both

filesystem paths, keys should be prefixes of the values and are "subtracted"

from the values in order to generate the URL paths to each repository)::

  [collections]

  /home/user/hg = /home/user/hg

  /home/another/hg = /home/another/hg

Allow archive downloads::

  [web]

  allow_archive = gz, zip, bz2

Make web page look nice::

  [web]

  # Use 'cd /lib/python2.x/site-packages/mercurial/templates; find . -type d' to see available

  # styles. Some interesting: gitweb, coal, monoblue.

  style = gitweb

Set another settings::

  [web]

  encoding = UTF-8

  maxchanges = 100

  maxfiles = 100

In each $proj/.hg/hgrc put::

  [web]

  contact = ADMIN <admin@example.com>

  description = <p style="color: red;">$proj</b> allow make a <a href="http://example.com">BIG Thing.</a>

  # Do not use name, in this case you see dir name where project lcated.

  # name = $proj

To allow push in 'hg serv'::

  [web]

  allow_push = *

  push_ssl = false

  #!/bin/sh

  CMD=/usr/bin/hg

  PORT=7878

    if [ -f "$PIDFILE" ]; then

      PID=`cat "$PIDFILE"`

      if [ "$PID" -gt 1 ]; then

        kill -TERM $PID

        echo "Stopping the Mercurial service PID=$PID."

      else

        echo Bad PID for Mercurial -- \"$PID\".

        echo You may remove \"$PIDFILE\" manually.

      fi

    else

      echo No PID file recorded for mercurial.

Manage patches with MQ.

=======================

First enable MQ, add following to your ~/.hgrc::

  [extensions]

  hgext.mq =

Second get unpatched sources and put it to hg repository::

  $ tar zxf proj-x.y.z.tar.gz

  $ mv proj-x.y.z proj

  $ cd proj

  $ hg init

  $ hg ci -m "Added x.y.z version of proj."

Init MQ and take name for first patch::

  $ hg qinit

  $ hg qnew first.patch

Next make changes by editing source and save it to patch::

  $ $EDITOR file.c

  ...

  $ hg diff

  ...

  $ hg qrefresh

  $ hg diff      # <-- have zero diff

You can make second patch by applying existing one::

  $ hg qnew second.patch

  $ patch -p1 <bugfix.patch

  $ hg qrefresh

You can take list of patches (from old to new) and revert or apply patches by

qpop/qpush command::

  $ hg qseries   # <-- what patches have

  first.patch

  second.patch

  $ hg qapplied  # <-- what patches applied

  first.patch

  second.patch

  $ hg qpop

  $ hg qseries

  first.patch

  second.patch

  $ hg qapplied

  first.patch

You can revert or apply all patches by single command::

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ hg qpush -a

You can delete patch from patch list (before that you need de-apply patch)::

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ hg qdelete first.patch

To add new version of source and fix patches for it first de-apply patches,

then pull new changes and try apply patches on top of new sources::

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ rm *       # .hg dir not deleted because its name start with dot

  $ cd ..

  $ tar zxf proj-a.b.c.tar.gz

  $ cp -R proj-a.b.c/* proj

  $ cd proj

  $ hg addremove -s 70

  $ hg ci -m "Added a.b.c version of proj."

  $ hg qpush -a

To apply series of already done patches use::

  $ ls /path/to/bugfixes/*.patch | xargs hg qimport

You can fix patch description message from command line::

  $ hg qser -s

  makefile-doc.patch:

  $ hg qpush

  applying makefile-doc.patch

  now at: makefile-doc.patch

  $ hg qref -m 'Add description about Makefile usage.'

  $ hg qser -s

  makefile-doc.patch: Add description about Makefile usage.

or from editor by::

  $ hg qref -e

Remove all patches from MQ.

===========================

::

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ for patch in `hg qser`; do hg qrm $patch; done

Moving changes from MQ to working tree.

=======================================

::

  $ hg qpop my.patch

  $ hg qdel --keep my.patch

  $ patch -p1 .hg/patches/my.patch

  $ rm .hg/patches/my.patch

Split patch in MQ.

==================

Enable built-in extensions::

  [extensions]

  mq=

  record=

  shelve=

Then move MQ into working tree and split changes and remove original patch::

  $ hg qpop my.patch

  $ patch -p1 <.hg/patches/my.patch

  $ hg qnew -i my1.patch

   ....

  $ hg qnew -i my2.patch

   ....

  $ hg qnew myN.patch   # last without interactive stuff

  $ hg qdelete --keep my.patch

Between ``my$i.patch`` and ``my$((i+1)).patch`` you can use ``hg shelve``/``hg

unshelve`` to test if project built and pass tests on top of ``my$i.patch``

without later changes!

If you find that something missing on this stage use ``hg qref`` on shelved

changes or ``hg qref -i`` on unshelved changes!

Proxy.

======

::

  $ hg clone --config http_proxy.host=$host:$port \

    --config http_proxy.user=$user --config http_proxy.passwd=$password  $addr

Shelve/stash uncommitted changes.

=================================

Enable ``shelve`` extension::

  [extensions]

  shelve=

and::

  $ hg shelve

  $ hg fetch

  $ hg unshelve

Or use MQ::

  $ hg qnew tmp.patch

  $ hg qpop

  $ hg fetch

  $ hg qpush

Or with plain patch::

  $ hg diff > .diff   # save local changes

  $ hg revert -a

  $ hg fetch

  $ patch -p1 <.diff

See:

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TipsAndTricks#Merge_or_rebase_with_uncommitted_changes

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ShelveExtension

Rebase.

=======

SVN like update::

  $ hg pull --rebase

Rebase draft (unpublished) changes over public changes if one one head::

  $ hg rebase -s 'draft()' -d 'public()'

  $ hg up  # it possible that you isn't on a tip

If you want to limit merge only to current branch::

  $ hg rebase -s 'draft() & branch(.)' -d 'public() & branch(.)'

Find greatest common ancestor of changesets.

============================================

::

  $ hg help revsets

  $ hg log -r "ancestor($rev1,$rev2)"

  $ hg log -r "ancestor($rev1,ancestor($rev2,$rev3))"

Find most recent tag for revision.

==================================

::

  $ hg log -r "sort(tag() and ancestors($REV),-date)"

  $ hg log -r $REV --template "{latesttag}-{latesttagdistance}-{node|short}\n"

Author statistic.

=================

Ecanle extention ``churn`` and run::

  $ hg churn

Hooks.

======

Check for bad branch names.
