I spent a little time review Mercurial's open issues list
(http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/), to see if there is anything
that we need to have fixed before we move ON to Mercurial. After some
discussion, Steve, Rich, and I have a draft list of showstopper bugs,
and another list of non-stoppers that seemed important enough to at
least mention.
The lists are in the attached HTML file. References to "cdm" or
"cadmium" refer to an extension that Rich is working on that will
give us certain bits of wx functionality (e.g., delta squishing and
backup of modified source files).
We're still trying to get a handle on rename functionality. Basic
rename support is in Mercurial 0.9.3, but there are several edge cases
that we're not sure about. One of the things I want to do in the next
week or so is review the existing test suite and see if there are any
rename tests that we want to add.
As far as tracking these issues, I was thinking of opening shadow bugs
on bugs.grommit.com, rather than add Solaris-specific keywords to the
Mercurial bug database. If anyone can think of a better approach,
please let me know.
If you have any comments on the lists, especially items that should be
moved from one list to the other, please speak up.
I'm not (at a quick glance) seeing the issue we have with merges picking the
wrong ancestor in the case of backouts here, while ancestor contents are
identical (and thus the merge is non-toxic) having to merge changes to files
one never touched certainly increases the chance of mismerge.
If it's not on the list, it should be added.
