Bug ID: 5793 Summary: Fix for #5675 made it impossible to share repositories containing external subrepositories Product: Mercurial Version: 4.4 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: bug Priority: wish Component: Mercurial Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org Reporter: erik.dewee...@luciad.com CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org The fix for https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5675, which shares subrepositories instead of cloning them when the parent is also shared, made it impossible to use the ShareExtension when the subrepository is remote. Entries in .hgsub may specify an absolute URL, not necessarily on the same server as the parent repository. Attempting to share such a repository results in $ hg up --clean --rev 2017.1 sharing subrepo native/libecw from https://... abort: can only share local repositories (in subrepository "native/libecw") Although the Subrepository documentation recommends mirroring repositories instead of using absolute URLs, that is often not feasible and cumbersome in production environments. Sharing will also not work if the subrepository is specified as a relative path within the parent and the base clone is at a revision that doesn't contain the subrepository (the null revision for example). While I do understand the reasoning behind the fix, I feel you should be able to turn it off or specify a fallback behavior for non-shareable subrepositories. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
