Plans and Docs for Mercurial

Mercurial is my DVCS of choice, to which I contribute regulary. I am known on IRC as parren.

Work In Progress

• Patch branches as an alternative to mq more suitable for collaborative and long-term patch development
• Shallow cloning, that is, cloning only recent history
• German introduction to Mercurial
• hg rclone to make server-side clones via https

Past Mentorship

• Nautilus integration for TortoiseHg
• Partial Cloning support for Mercurial, that is, cloning a subset of files (narrow clones, co-mentoring)

Plans

• hg integrate to solve the commit race problem (server-side trivial merges)
• Move Hg towards literate testing (similar to what the Mercurial book already does)
• Add automated testing to TortoiseHg

Needs

• Two-way Subversion integration with fine-grained control over the scope to clone (depth and breadth) for off-site collaboration with customers
