VisualHG?

Super Lloyd

Anyone using this shit? I just have to rant... I am experimenting at home with it. It completely destroy my desire to use a SCS! It might be good.. but every time I start a project using it, all my bin/obj folder get added to the commit list. I just did the test, spending 40 minute forgetting all binary and miscellaneous file manually with TortoiseHG, starting VS, bing, all my bin/obj folder are added again!! Grr! :mad: Might stick with Subversion after all...

You are confusing the a GUI client with the actual Hg engine. At any rate, you should have a look at .hgignore files[^]. The reasoning is that you should explicitly ignore unwanted files precisely to avoid missing required files on commit. This way everything gets added by default (but remember to check before committing - nothing new here).

mm.. I didn't remember having to setup like that with the combo TortoiseSVN + AnkhSVN... ? at any rate I gave it a try and .. it's better. but it is still problematic! I excluded 'bin' and that exclude a project named 'Galador.BinSpatial' which is under of risk of being deleted evrytime I commit and I am tired... :/ I definitely didn't have this problem with TortoiseSVN.... I think I will try the latest SVN... :/

Something I don't understand... With SVN only the files explicitely added by the user are to be commited. The VS plugin automatically add them for you. I thought it would be the same for Hg. And I thought VisualHG will be clever enough to just add the source files (as opposed to the build files) Did I miss something?

Frankly I'm amazed this worked any better. Especially with Ankh, which seems carefully designed to cause maximum chaos and destruction. It's alright for getting those little status icons I suppose - until even that goes wrong and it starts messing things up so badly that you can't even really fix it with Tortoise except by deleting everything and checking out again.

I guess you've written the wrong exclusion patterns. Have a look at my .hgignore file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4148201/.hgignore[^]

Usually desktop clients like TortoiseHG behave exactly like the command line client, that is they include for commit ALL files (but of course you can uncheck them before committing). Visual Studio clients such as VisualHG usually automatically add the files you added in VS, but honestly I have no idea because .hgignore is in all my repos (plus is common practice to have it tailored to your dev tools/lanuages/frameworks).

Someone should write an article about how to set this up properly for different dev environments, but where could it be published ...

Try this plugin instead https://bitbucket.org/zzsergant/hgsccpackage/wiki/Home[^] I find it easier to use. You will need to install a copy of Hg with it - goto http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/[^] which includes a GUI client for Windows

I don't think so. Let's face it, the web is full of articles about pretty much any topic you can think of. That is even more true when it comes to software development. Sure, quality varies a lot, but there are tons of tutorials about Mercurial and Git and surely we don't need another one.

Thanks, giving it a try now... :)
