Hi,
I had some trouble getting the keyword extension working with
1.1.2+tortoisehg so I thought I'd post my experience and some
suggestions of how the Mercurial.ini file might be changed to make this
a bit easier.
In the [extensions] section of Mercurial.ini the default line is
hgext.keyword = !
but there's a comment saying "A leading '!' disables an extension (new
in 0.9.5)". Since the '!' was trailing I assumed that this meant that
keyword was enabled, but I was suspicious so I think it would be less
confusing if the wording in the .ini file was "A trailing '!'..."
I added the following sections to the Mercurial.ini file:
[keyword]
# expand keywords in all python files in working dir
**.py =
[keywordmaps]
Author = {author|user}
Header = {root}/{file},v {node|short} {date|utcdate} {author|user}
Source = {root}/{file},v
Date = {date|utcdate}
Id = {file|basename},v {node|short} {date|utcdate} {author|user}
Revision = {node|short}
then typed the following at a DOS prompt:
hg kwexpand
according to this
<http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/KeywordExtension>
and it works. I think it wouldn't hurt to add the [keyword] and
[keywordmaps] sections to the Mercurial.ini file by default, perhaps
with a pattern that would look at most common file extensions (.c, .h,
.cpp, README, .txt etc.), even if the extension was left disabled by
default.
