Hello, After talking with Rob on IRC, I decided to experiment with setting up a github mirror of the mercurial repository. The benefits, hopefully, would be failover plus easy access for those that like/prefer git.
Here's how I set it up. 1. Setup the hg-git plugin $ sudo easy_install hg-git 2. Edit ~/.hgrc to contain the following: [extensions] hgext.bookmarks = hggit = 2. Clone the mercurial repo $ hg clone http://landley.net/hg/toybox 3. Create an empty repository on github called toybox 4. In the mercurial working directory, make a bookmark of master for default, so a ref gets created $ hg bookmark -r default master 5. Push the repo to the new github location $ hg push git+ssh://[email protected]:jhuntwork/toybox.git You should obviously be able to see / checkout the repo from https://github.com/jhuntwork/toybox I haven't been able to test too much, but it seems that pushing/pulling can go either direction, assuming appropriate permissions are in place. To push changes from mercurial to github, it would essentially be: $ hg update $ hg push git+ssh://[email protected]:jhuntwork/toybox.git To forward changes from github to mercurial, It should be able to work like so: $ hg pull git+ssh://[email protected]:jhuntwork/toybox.git pulling from git+ssh://[email protected]:jhuntwork/toybox.git ["git-upload-pack 'jhuntwork/toybox.git'"] importing git objects into hg ["git-upload-pack 'jhuntwork/toybox.git'"] (run 'hg update' to get a working copy) $ hg update 1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved $ hg push pushing to http://landley.net/hg/toybox searching for changes remote: ssl required I'm obviously using the wrong push scheme, plus I'm missing authentication. :) But I think this illustrates the use case.
