I was thinking it would be useful to have a script to help convert a
wx-based workspace to Mercurial. The idea was that if we have
something like
[ onnv-clone ] ----->(Steve's bridge) -----> [ hg-onnv-clone ]
| |
| | (hg clone)
| |
[ tw-proj ] [ hg-proj ]
the converter could look at the renamed, new, and active files for
tw-proj, then it could recreate those changes in hg-proj.
The first place it would be useful is for the beta-test phase for the
Mercurial-based gate. (I'm assuming that the beta-test will be run the
same way we did the beta for the Companion--a workspace is available for
people to putback to, but it gets thrown away periodically.) I think it
would make it easier to create realistic Mercurial project workspaces
that people could do practice putbacks with.
The second place it would be useful is for work that is in-progress and
under Teamware at the time we switch the gate from Teamware to
Mercurial.
What do you think? Would such a script be useful? Is the above
description a reasonable way to do it?
