NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-remote-hg - bidirectional bridge between Git and Mercurial
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git clone' hg::<hg repository>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This tool allows you to transparently clone, fetch and push to and from Mercurial
|
|
repositories as if they were Git ones.
|
|
|
|
To use it you simply need to use the "'hg::'" prefix when specifying a remote URL
|
|
(e.g. when cloning).
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
-------
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git clone hg::http://selenic.com/repo/hello
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to see Mercurial revisions as Git commit notes:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
% git config core.notesRef refs/notes/hg
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are not interested in Mercurial permanent and global branches (aka. commit labels):
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
% git config --global remote-hg.track-branches false
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
With this configuration, the 'branches/foo' refs won't appear.
|
|
|
|
If you want the equivalent of `hg clone --insecure`:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
% git config --global remote-hg.insecure true
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want 'git-remote-hg' to be compatible with 'hg-git', and generate exactly the same commits:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
% git config --global remote-hg.hg-git-compat true
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
NOTES
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Remember to run `git gc --aggressive` after cloning a repository, specially if
|
|
it's a big one. Otherwise lots of space will be wasted.
|
|
|
|
The oldest version of Mercurial supported is 1.9. For the most part 1.8 works,
|
|
but you might experience some issues.
|
|
|
|
Pushing branches
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To push a Mercurial named branch, you need to use the "branches/" prefix:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
% git checkout branches/next
|
|
# do stuff
|
|
% git push origin branches/next
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
All the pushed commits will receive the "next" Mercurial named branch.
|
|
|
|
*Note*: Make sure you don't have +remote-hg.track-branches+ disabled.
|
|
|
|
Cloning HTTPS
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The simplest way is to specify the user and password in the URL:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
git clone hg::https://user:password@bitbucket.org/user/repo
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can also use the http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SchemesExtension[schemes extension]:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
[auth]
|
|
bb.prefix = https://bitbucket.org/user/
|
|
bb.username = user
|
|
bb.password = password
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Finally, you can also use the
|
|
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mercurial_keyring[keyring extension].
|
|
|
|
CAVEATS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The only major incompatibility is that Git octopus merges (a merge with more
|
|
than two parents) are not supported.
|
|
|
|
Mercurial branches and bookmarks have some limitations of Git branches: you
|
|
can't have both 'dev/feature' and 'dev' (as Git uses files and directories to
|
|
store them).
|
|
|
|
Multiple anonymous heads (which are useless anyway) are not supported; you
|
|
would only see the latest head.
|
|
|
|
Closed branches are not supported; they are not shown and you can't close or
|
|
reopen. Additionally in certain rare situations a synchronization issue can
|
|
occur (https://github.com/felipec/git/issues/65[Bug #65]).
