Peter Hansson created SCM-799:
---------------------------------
Summary: Implement export command
Key: SCM-799
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-799
Project: Maven SCM
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven-scm-provider-mercurial (hg)
Reporter: Peter Hansson
Currently the hg provider does not implement the {{export}} command.
Recap: The {{export}} command terminology originates from the SVN world. It
means to get the sources without the SCM stuff, just sources, nothing else.
The equivalent in Mercurial world is {{hg archive}}. It was first implemented
in 2006 (in version 0.9).
I don't see a reason why the hg provider would _not_ support the {{export}}
command. Sometimes the source is really all you want. Doing an actual
{{checkout}} (aka {{hg clone}}) can take a lot more time than {{export}}.
