Split repository in sub repositories

myrepository has the following repositories:

• mysubdir1
• mysubdir2
• mysubdir3

1. create filemap.txt:

       include mysubdir1
       rename mysubdir1 .
   

2. run the following command:

   hg convert --filemap /tmp/myfilemap myrepository myrepository-dest

   hg convert --filemap /tmp/myfilemap myrepository myrepository-dest

3. look at myrepository-dest. It has the content of mysubdir1.

Merge repositories

If you want to merge myrepository1 with myrepository2 :

echo clone myrepository2 to myworkingcopy
hg clone myrepository1 myworkingcopy
echo change directory to myworkingcopy
cd myworkingcopy
echo pull myrepository2 (with force option)
hg pull -f myrepository2
echo merge both repositories
hg merge
echo finally, commit
hg commit

Get guid latest revision

hg identify -i http://srv-scm/hg/MYREPOSITORY

Clone without login/password prompt

hg clone http://mylogin:mypasswd@srv-scm/myrepos

Subversion to mercurial

1. clone hgsubversion

   hg clone http://bitbucket.org/durin42/hgsubversion/ ~/hgsubversion

   hg clone http://bitbucket.org/durin42/hgsubversion/ ~/hgsubversion

2. install requires (the extension requires the Python Subversion bindings)

   yum install python-subvertpy

   yum install python-subvertpy

3. Enable extension in mercurial
   Configure your hgrc to enable the extension by adding the following lines: (vi ~/.hgrc)

   [extensions]
   hgsubversion = ~/hgsubversion/hgsubversion
   

   And install it:

   cd ~/hgsubversion chmod +x setup.py ./setup.py install

   cd ~/hgsubversion chmod +x setup.py ./setup.py install

4. Test

   hg --config clone http://python-nose.googlecode.com/svn nose-hg

   hg --config clone http://python-nose.googlecode.com/svn nose-hg

Remove working copy files

This will remove all your working copy files, and only keep the .hg folder (at the root place)

hg update null
