No, that wasn't really fast (IMHO). > (believe it or not, I have to make do > with an 80GB hard disk).

If you want to have it in seperate directories: Yes, but you're cloning from your local repo anyway. And when you do it as described in the wiki-pages, mercurial will use hardlinks for the clone. This is /very/ fast and also needs virtually no additional space for the repo. > Could > someone give me the Mercurial equivalent to the following sequence of > instructions: > > svn co http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/ hg clone -U http://hg.services.openoffice.org/DEV300 OOo-repo > cd trunk > > svn switch http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/cws/blabla hg clone -U OOo-repo workdir cd workdir hg pull -u http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/blabla Alternatively you can pull to your local-"master" > # Now the current directory contains the OOo sources for CWS blabla > > svn switch http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/OOO320_m2/ > # Now the current directory contains the OOo sources for milestone OOO320_m2 > # NOTE: The changes from CWS blabla are NOT merged.

Mercurial is way, way faster than svn in this regard. If fact with mercurial, I wouldn't bother modifying the existing tree, but just create another local clone. Remember to always clone the full repo (no -r argument), otherwise mercurial cannot use hardlinks (would be slow and takes much diskspace) ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
