I've got a project with 2 files I want to source-control using Mercurial:
- A SCX-File which is a binary (database) file
- A SCT-File which is a text file
My filter:
[encode]
**.scx = tempfile: sccxml INFILE OUTFILE 0
[decode]
**.scx = tempfile: sccxml INFILE OUTFILE 1
Problem
- sccxml only receives the path to the SCX-File
- The SCX-File can not be converted to a text-file without the corresponding SCT-File
Workarounds
- Is it possible to combine the files before the filter runs?
- Is it possible to pass both file's paths to sccxml-Converter?
UPDATE:
No, I'm using not using the Win32Text extension. The SccXml-Executable needs both an SCT-File and an SCX-File as parameter to convert them to a Text-File (the text-representations of both files get tar'ed into one file).
I Want To have the binary files as Text-File in the Repo, to get meaningful diffs. I am currently trying to achieve this using a precommit hook.
