Hi, I wanted to share some tips about the use of Mercurial and dvcs.w3.org. It's based on very common issues that people are running into. do not use "tip" in the ED URL ------------------------------ For Mercurial, "tip" is a virtual revision for the latest changeset among all branches. So, instead of using https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ldpwg/raw-file/tip/ldp.html you may want to use https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ldpwg/raw-file/default/ldp.html Instead of "default", you can use whatever branch is available. "default" will be there by default. do not force an `hg push` ------------------------- When your Mercurial client tells you that you're about to create a remote head, DO NOT USE "-f" TO FORCE THE OPERATION. That's bad. Very bad. commit before pull/merge ------------------------ Always `hg commit` before synchronizing repositories or you'll loose data. inspect the history tree ------------------------ Run the following command to understand what happened: [[ hg glog --template '{node|short}: {desc}\n' | head -55 ]] That's also a quick and easy way to know who to blame :-) cut heads --------- To know about all the heads: [[ hg heads ]] And that's how the French cut heads: [[ hg merge -r THE_REVISION_OF_THE_OTHER_HEAD ]] (don't forget to commit!) I hope this helps. Alexandre, W3C Systems Team.
