Hg mirror?

Hg mirror?

Hi,

I'm actually working on a game using Flask. It's kinda like a cross
between Kingdom of Loathing and Final Fantasy. It's called Cool Game
(since I didn't think I was going to be putting much effort into it, and
now it's too late to change the package name). So far, it's going pretty
good. Flask is a nifty little tool.

However, the main problem isn't Flask itself, but git. I'm not as
familiar with git as well as I am with hg, so trying to update my clone
is pretty annoying. (All this "git fetch" vs "git pull" vs "git merge"
and fast-forwarding or not stuff.) Is some sort of Mercurial-based
mirror on Bitbucket or dev.pocoo.org/hg possible? (Also, can anyone
recommend a good tutorial on how to use git for stuff like this?)

Hi LeafStorm,
I'm new to git too and have found the following two sites to be useful.
http://www.gitready.com/
http://progit.org/book/

As much as I'm tempted to use hg-git I'd rather learn git proper than try to
translate between the two. Maybe I'll eventually change my mind but for the
moment I'm trying to learn git better.

Good luck,
Chris

I try to stay away from git because of windows environments. I am not
going to install an entire linux emulation stack just to run Git,
sorry. When git has a true windows binary, it will then become the
best version control system, and I will use it.

I do find it odd a pocoo project not even mirrored to their hg repositories.

I find it odd myself too but I have not figured out a neat way to do 
that.  I want to have these things mirrored to bitbucket but I have to 
figure out how I can do that.  Maybe hg-git can be abused for that, will 
try.

Armin

Hi,

There is an experimental hg mirror on bitbucket now:
   http://bitbucket.org/mitsuhiko/flask

Problem with it is that it only contains the master branch.  Also I 
don't know how I will integrate forks from bitbucket into it in an 
efficient way.  Right now patches seem like the best idea, so I 
encourage everyone to use hg-git locally and work with the github 
repository instead.


Regards,
Armin

You can use hg-git[1] to clone/pull directly from the git repo:

    hg clone git://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git flask

I just tried it on the Flask repo and it seems to work fine.
