Provide Mercurial mirror

[anatoly techtonik <techtonik@…>]

It will help greatly if Bitten code could be available from Mercurial repository similarly to Trac ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SubversionRepository

I maintain a hg repository for all my trunk development, and this can be found here:

​http://bitbucket.org/osimons/bitten

Whenever I commit or fetch changes, I push them to Bitbucket. The project has quite low activity, and it should be a working solution for now.

Leaving ticket open though, as at some stage a more automated solution should be set up.

[anatoly techtonik <techtonik@…>]

I expected to find Edgewall repositories under ​http://bitbucket.org/edgewall Perhaps some automated solution is only a matter of contacting the right person there.

[osimons]

A proper mirror should of course not just track the trunk, but provide all branches (and tags) for easy switching. That is also for... later...

Hm... If I create / dump / restore / convert Bitten svn-repo like this (I could convert remote repo, not local one, but it's too slow for my taste):

$ svnadmin create bitten
$ rsvndump http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/bitten/ > bitten.dump
$ svnadmin load bitten < bitten.dump
$ hg convert bitten

I get quite pretty Mercurial repo:

 $ hg branches

And I could "pull" new changes with simple

hg convert http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/bitten/ .

I could share this repo on BitBucket if you like. The only thing absent in my opinion is proper authormap file.

Replying to sterkrig@…:

The only thing absent in my opinion is proper authormap file.

And here's the list of usernames for it:
