This should work for both alternately named directories (e.g. releases
instead of branches), as well as subdirs (branches/releases), and
combinations thereof (releases/public).
This adds a config-driven custom layout, targeted at the case where
you need to fetch a small subset of a large number of subversion
branches, or where your subversion layout doesn't match the standard
trunk/branches/tags layout very well.
The configuration entry defines the size of the replay or stupid edited
file store, that is the maximum amount of edited files data in megabytes
which can be kept in memory before falling back to storing it in a
temporary directory. Default to 200 (megabytes), use -1 to disable.
The value of the default commit message is now configurable by setting
'hgsubversion.defaultmessage'. In addition, the log output is made
consistent with the result of the conversion.
First, use of :hg:`...` is replaced with ``hg ...``. The former syntax
isn't useful outside core Mercurial. Second, a few instances of `...`
are replaced with ``...``. The minirst parser doesn't distinguish
between the two, but using docutils, the former results italics and
the latter in fixed width text. Finally, a few extra ``...`` are added.
With these changes, we could process the help topic with rst2html and
put it somewhere appropriate on the internet.
The --branch option to clone, pull, etc., was introduced in 1.5, and
our handling of it assumes that Mercurial also provides it. As a
result, both documentation and the test are changed to reflect this.
The core logic is cleaned up and moved to the wrappers module. The
test made to test that it works with original Mercurial changesets, is
cleaned up so that it can be more easily extended in the
future. Finally, documentation is added for the feature.
By setting the `HGSUBVERSION_BINDINGS environment variable to either
`SWIG' or `Subvertpy', the choice of bindings can be forced at
runtime. (For ease of use, the comparison is case-insensitive.)
Examples:
% HGSUBVERSION_BINDINGS=swig hg version --svn
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.6+172-b25e1ced9861)
...
hgsubversion: 1.1.2+43-276742da2d85
Subversion: 1.6.12
bindings: SWIG
% HGSUBVERSION_BINDINGS=subvertpy hg version --svn
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.6+172-b25e1ced9861)
...
hgsubversion: 1.1.2+43-276742da2d85
Subversion: 1.6.12
bindings: Subvertpy 0.7.4
% HGSUBVERSION_BINDINGS=none hg version --svn
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.6+172-b25e1ced9861)
...
abort: cannot use hgsubversion; bindings disabled using HGSUBVERSION_BINDINGS!
The new file contains three sections: The first one is based on the
README and contains instructions on how to use hgsubversion. The
second one mentions the most notable shortcomings of hgsubversion. The
third and final section documents how to customise hgsubversion.
