I'd like all files under the repo's root folder except .hg/, .hgignore, .hgtags, etc. Is there a mercurial built-in or existing extension to do this? I have implemented a non-hg script with hard-code "mercurial files", but I'd like a programmatic method of excluding the mercurial related files. I'm trying to mirror a non-mercurial c...
I have a legacy product, spread across dozens of repositories. I'm currently trying to refactor (and understand...) the given build process. First step was moving from the old version control system to mercurial, which was encouraging and easy. The build process mainly uses ant build scripts (good news) but has to run 'on' the repositor...
The Question What hosted mercurial repository/bug tracking system or systems have you used? Would you recommend it to others? Are there serious flaws, either in the repository hosting or the bug tracking features that would make it difficult to recommend it? Do you have any other experiences with it or opinions of it that you would lik...

Instead of running "svn diff", "hg diff" and so on .. can we write a single command that calls svn/hg/git accordingly? Can the diff output be made pretty? edit: command-line tools (not GUI) preferred. ...
Let's say I clone a remote Mercurial repository (over the local network or even over the Internet) to try something out. I work in my clone, make a few commits...and then I realize that my changes don't make sense and I have to start over again. So I want to have a "fresh" clone again, from the same source repository. Basically, I want ...
Hi, I am currently getting the following error when I run a build from Hudson: ERROR: Publisher hudson.tasks.Mailer aborted due to exception java.lang.ClassCastException: hudson.plugins.mercurial.MercurialSCM cannot be cast to hudson.scm.SubversionSCM Our builds were working fine last Thursday and since Friday of last week they have b...
So right now I'm learning Ruby on Rails, and I'm working through the book "Agile Web Development with Rails". I've also decided that I want to give Mercurial a go, because I've read up on distributed SCM's, and it seems like an ideal situation. I still, however, prefer to push my code remotely to my Linux VPS just incase my hard drive ...
I'd like to convert a repository from Subversion to Mercurial, but when I initially set up the repository, I did it in the laziest way possible. Over time, the structure continued to morph and deteriorate (it's 5 years old at this point). Nevertheless, I'd like to preserve as much history as possible, even if I have to get dirty and ma...

Mercurial's website says about creating a project this way: Create a project and commit $ hg init (project-directory) $ cd (project-directory) $ (add some files) $ hg add $ hg commit -m 'Initial commit' I need a single user, local repository. I assume this does the trick, right? The thing I don't understand is:will it open a server p...
I'm a Subversion user, and I think I've got my head mostly around it all now. So of course now we're thinking of switching to Mercurial, and I need to start again. In our single repository, we have the typical branches, tags, trunk layout. When I want to create a feature branch I: Use the repo browser to copy trunk to branches/Featu...
