I saw some of your comments on the ticket was related to unsatisfactory translation of branches and tags. Have you considered if moving to git might be easier? * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1018874/converting-a-company-from-svn-to-hg The 3rd pin in the topmost answer says: > I must admit I switched to Git instead of Mercurial. That said, with Git you > can import branches, tags and trunk at the same time in the same repository. > Git takes care of everyone and gracefully stores tags as tags, branches as > branches and the trunk as the master branch. I'm confident it's almost the > same with Mercurial. That said, while I do have some (limited) knowledge of Git, I have close to no experience using it. Regarding the occasional contributor, Mercurial queues could be helpful. I used it when maintaining my AIX patch (just submitted and applied). I had a local Mercurial repo which I kept up to date with the svn repo. My patch was in an MQ patch queue. When new changes had been pulled from svn and committed to my local hg repo, I simply rebased the patch on top of the latest change. Pretty easy. For rebasing MQ patches, see here: http://hgtip.com/tips/advanced/2010-02-11-merging-mq-patches-with-rebase/ /Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
