See the "Why you don't need it" part of: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/KeywordPlan When my group at work first converted over to Mercurial from CVS, everyone thought they needed that too. It took a while for them to adjust to the changeset hash form of unique identification. Now we print out the repo's changeset id for the version tag. Our test logs will either use the hg id if hg is installed and we're running from the repo, or it will use the special file that mercurial puts into archives to identify which version was archived. I think "a repo of one file" is so rare that putting keyword expansion sections into the Mercurial.ini file for it is a mistake; it could easily be misconstrued as an endorsement of a practice which Mercurial itself recommends against. --Doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
