Re: [PATCH] remote-hg: getbundle changed in mercurial 3.0

 In mercurial 3.0, getbundle was moved to the changegroup module, and
 gained a new argument. Due to this we cannot simply start using
 getbundle(...) imported from either one unconditionally, as that would
 cause errors in mercurial 3.0 without changing the syntax, and errors in
 mercurial 3.0 if we do change it.

 The try:except block at the beginning of git-remote-hg.py tries first to
 import mercurial.changegroup.getbundle, and if that fails we set the
 function 'getbundle' to work correctly with mercurial.repo.getbundle by
 removing the first argument.

 I have tested this briefly with mercurial 3.0, but have not yet really run
 through its paces. The tests that are included in next do pass with
 mercurial 3.0.

Thanks.  I agree with you that this would probably be a better
way to future-proof the code without unconditionally including what
may not be used at all, as you said in the other thread.

I can be pursuaded to queue this particular patch for maintenance
tracks after 2.0 final to my tree, but I do not think I would want
to keep taking patches to this area myself in the longer run.

The way I envision the longer term shape of git-remote-hg.py in the
contrib/ is either one of these two:

 (1) manage it just like contrib/hooks/multimail/, keeping a
 reasonably fresh and known-to-be-good snapshot, while making it
 clear that my tree is not the authoritative copy people should
 work off of;

 (2) treat it just like contrib/emacs/vc-git.el, which found a
 better home and left my tree at 78513869 (emacs: Remove the no
 longer maintained vc-git package., 2009-02-07); or

The first one may be more preferrable between the two, if only
because distros would need time to adjust where they pick up the
source material to package up, but it still needs cooperation with
the authoritative upstream and this project to allow us to at
least learn when the good time to import such good snapshots.  In
the case of vc-git, the separation was not about lack of will to
coordinate, but because it was not necessary to keep it in my tree,
as the better home was where the users expect to find the latest
and greatest anyway.

If Felipe turns out to be a maintainer users do not trust for
remote-hg, it is possible that you and other people can maintain it
and work with git.git better by forking off of his tree.  It is far
early to know if that will be the case at this point, and I
personally do not think that will happen (no, I do not have a
concrete reason I can cite to explain why I think that way).

But even in such an extreme hypothetical case, the difference it
makes to my tree would only be to take (1) or (2) and point to that
forked remote-hg repository, instead of Felipe's, as the source of
the authoritative copy.  And I wouldn't be taking individual
patches directly to my tree in either case.

I will not do that.

If you want my help to improve *your* tree, you have to start by
answering the *one* question I've repeatedly asked you to clarify.

In fact if you go for this I would consider it an act of sabotage
against these new projects.

If you hadn't made me waste all this time chasing a non-attainable goal,
these projects would already be packaged by distributions, instead of
hidden in some corner of /usr/share.

Distributions wouldn't even be aware of the move, and it might take bug
reports to make them realize that. There will be already enough damage
to the reputation of these tools with Git v2.0 shipping them broken.

Not aligned at all with your previous statement that you wanted these to
flourisn.

In fact, I think you should remove them already from v2.0. Because this
doesn't need release candidates. Unless you think user feedback will
make you change your mind about not graduating them, moving them in 2.0,
or 2.1 will be the same, since you are going to ignore the feedback
anyway.

This also has the advantage that you won't be shipping them broken in
v2.0.

At the very least there should be a big fat message warning each time
the tools are run, warning the users that they are unmaintained, and the
right location for them. And yes, I also think this should be done for
v2.0.
