[fuse-devel] Mercurial mirrors

[Csaba H. <csa...@cr...>]

Hi,

I set up Mercurial mirrors for the FUSE and fuse4bsd source trees,
find them at

  http://mercurial.creo.hu/repos/

 * Why?
   - Because of Mercurial's superb web interface:
     - changeset based view
     - the (AFAIK) unique "time machine" capability: 
       you can view the source tree as a whole at arbitrary date

   - Because Mercurial is available on more platforms/archs than
     darcs (which I use as the basic SCM for fuse4bsd)

 * Caveats:
   - fuse4bsd: I see now a strange (minor) time skew in displayed
     commit dates...

   - FUSE:
      - mirroring is not realtime, the tree is updated daily,
        based on the SF cvsroot tarballs

        [*** Miklos: could we add realtime hooks with a duely low
         effort? ***]

      - Miklos' habit of commiting changes as "fix" doesn't make
        the Mercurial changes as informative as they could be.

	What you can do is to find the Changelog file via the manifest
	menu and annotate that up. That's not as precise as a machine
	generated changelog could be but still quite useable. This is
	the way to see tags, too.

 * How?
   - darcs -> hg conversion for fuse4bsd by Lele Gaifax's Tailor
   - CVS -> hg conversion for FUSE by Simon 'Corecode' Schubert's
     cvs20hg

Enjoy,
Csaba
