Just curious, is the plan for this Mercurial repository to be the
'main' repository for Vim (like CVS is today)?
If all goes well I will make Mercurial the main (and only) repository
that I use. CVS slows me down. Mercurial is fast enough to also handle
runtime file updates.
I'm loving it!
It sure beats what I have been doing, which is applying and committing
the patches in a Mercurial repository of my own and dealing with runtime
files separately.
Bram, I wonder whether you'd consider, to aid people who use git,
installing this Mercurial extension: <http://hg-git.github.com/>,
and setting up a hook so that when you push your changes to the public
hg repo, they also get pushed to a public git repo somewhere? The
benefit of doing it using that extension is that it converts to git
losslessly, so the two repos could interoperate. If desired at some
future stage, you could pull changes from others' git repositories just
as successfully as from hg ones.
Ulterior motive: It would make a lot of sense, and certainly make my
life easier, if the MacVim repository could be based on the Vim
repository. Of course, ideally I'd love to see MacVim using hg, too, but
with the help of that extension above, it could continue using git and
still use the official Vim repository, plus I could maintain my own hg
repository with the patches I regularly apply, test, and so on.
Bjorn, how does this sound to you? I know it could be a challenge to set
it up, particularly preserving old MacVim history and the way it
interacts with old Vim history, but would you be willing to pursue this?
I'm willing to help with that initial conversion.
Ben.
