Mercurial Dummy Push
Is there a way with Mercurial to do a dummy push? I basically want to see what would happen in the event that I did a push with my current changesets.

Get list of changesets in a changegroup (mercurial python hook)
I want a mercurial hook that will run JSLint/PyChecker/etc on all files that are modified. However, I do not have control over all hg clients, and want this to run on push to the master repository (which I have control), so a pretxnchangegroup hook on the master seems best. How can I get a list of all changesets that are in the changegr...

I'm managing $HOME using Mercurial, to keep my dotfiles nice and tracked, or at least the ones that matter to me. However, there's a profusion of files and directories in ~ that do not need to be tracked, and that set is ever-changing and ever-growing.

Can I allow_push on individual repositories using hgweb.config [Mercurial]
In hgweb.config, the allow_push parameter applies to all defined repos defined in the [paths] section. Is there a way to allow push on one repo but not in another, or would I need to actually create completely separate configurations (and corresponding web apps) per repo then? (In case it matters, it's on Windows with hgweb hosted in I...
