More Mercurial Reading: Shared Repositories

I did some playing with Hg last night and found the basics to be easy enough. But, we're really gonna need a central repository with many projects running at once -- not something that Hg is really meant to support well. So below are some links to review.

First of course is the Hg guide itself

• http://mercurial.selenic.com/guide/
• http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PublishingRepositories - perhaps the shared disk approach since work only happens on our intranet...
• http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/HgWebDirStepByStep - but an internal web solution would be nice
• http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PublishingRepositories#multiple - multiple repos over the web
  
• http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2010-July/033624.html - Shared subrepos may be the way to go too
• http://mercurial.aragost.com/kick-start/en/ - looks like a good read from the thread above.

Man, this is deep stuff.

"As an alternative, you can use hg-app http://hg.python-works.com it's hgwebdir replacement written entirely in pylons.

• has it's own middleware to handle mercurial protocol request each request can be logged and authenticated + threaded performance unlikely to hgweb
• full permissions per project read/write/admin access even on mercurial request
• mako templates let's you cusmotize look and feel of application.
• diffs annotations and source code all colored by pygments.
• mercurial branch graph and yui-flot powered graphs

• Additional settings for mercurial web, (hooks editable from admin panel !) also manage paths, archive, remote messages
