Greetings,

As previously announced, there will be a short downtime for all Mercurial
repositories tomorrow, followed by a modification to the URLs used for
repository access. This is to allow for upgrades to support multiple
Mercurial repositories per project.

The original announcement with additional details can be found here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/sourceforge/2009/08/05/mercurial-multiple-repository-support/


Additionally, a similar conversion with similar downtime and impact will
also be had for Git to support multiple Git repositories per project. This
conversion is scheduled to occur on 2009-08-13. We'll take action to
minimize downtime and impact to users, but with a new path scheme it is
inevitable that most old URLs won't work as previously described in the
Mercurial migration notes linked above.

Direct repository editing is now enabled over the shell service for all
Git, Hg and Bzr repositories. This change was made live today and
deprecates the adminrepo tool for users of those repository types. Users of
CVS or SVN will still need to use adminrepo. This will allow for easier
editing of repositories. We strongly recommend that when modifying a
repository other committers be notified of the direct edit window and that
you make your own backups prior to editing the content so you can restore
it readily yourself in the case of an accident.

Thank you,

The SourceForge.net Team
