Folks,
Any news on providing the preferred format of 'hg outgoing' for webRTI
as the default style for ON gates?
Also, some have suggested that the leading tab before the description be
removed and that an extra blank line be inserted before the description
keyword, for example:
estale(5.11-64)$ hg rti
comparing with /home/sm26363/tmp/hg/master

Subject: Mercurial tip of the day: Creating an alias to provide WebRTI
acceptable output

WebRTI does not display long lines well and 'hg outgoing' by default may
create long lines as by default it lists affected files on a single
line. To that end John Beck (jbeck) created an alternative style
template that lists individual files on a separate line after the
description.
To use this style one may either specify its use on the command line,
define it as the default style, or create a Mercurial alias.
To create an alias firstly the alias extension should be enabled by
simply adding an "alias=" line in the "[extensions]" section. This
causes Mercurial to look for the extension in the default locations.
Following that a new "[alias]" section may be created where alias are
listed. For Example:
$ *head -6 ~/.hgrc
*[extensions]
alias=
[alias]
rti = outgoing -v --style /home/jbeck/.hgstyle
To use the alias you then simply enter *hg rti* on the command line, for
example:
$ *hg rti*
comparing with /home/sm26363/tmp/hg/master

Below is the output from a standard *hg outgoing* command for comparison.
$ hg -v outgoing
