Has anyone used Kiln? (Mercurial + Code Review Tool + FogBugz)
-
Has anyone used Kiln[^]? It looks to be Mercurual (yay) with some nice improvements (yay), a Code Review Tool (looks great), and FogBugz (ambivalent). Has anyone used the code review tool? Any good? And how does it all fit together, pretty nice, or a bit rough around the edges? Being able to markup specific versions of a file would be so fantastically handy for code reviews, and reviewing those reviews. Right now we are using Surround SCM and Test Track, neither of which gets me excited. They good enough, but they just as cool as Mercurial. And everyone wants to hang out with the cool kids. :)

Yeah we use Kiln and it's great for what we need it for. if you install the tortoise hg[^] stuff it's even better. Kiln has a free 30 day trial (plus unlimited usage for max 2 users) - so create an account and give it a go more... don't really use the code review as I am just too good :) but just had a quick play and it allows you to select a number of revisions to which you assign the code review. the code review then provides a list of file that have changed and for each one you see a textdiff view so you can easily see which parts have changed since the last review. you can then highlight code sections to add along with comment about the code (i.e. "this is bad code. please fix!")
Illogical thoughts make me ill
