This has taken a WHOLE lot more time than our nice conversation, and I don't think it's working, so need some advice. I checked out the whole wiki using hg clone http://hg.suckless.org/sites just like it says. I've made my modifications in sites/ dwm.suckless.org/patches -- generated an alternative patch file for the bstack patch and modified the description of the patch accordingly. While cd'ed to my local 'sites' directory, I then did hg pull to make sure I had any recent changes (I assume hg takes care of the obvious race in this?): d...@sergei:~/Software/suckless/sites$ hg pull pulling from http://hg.suckless.org/sites searching for changes no changes found But then I tried to push my changes: d...@sergei:~/Software/suckless/sites$ hg push pushing to http://hg.suckless.org/sites searching for changes no changes found No changes? Not true. Can someone explain what's happening? (I have not used hg before. I'm an old-timer, very familiar with rcs and cvs and just a bit with svn. No git, no hg.) /Don > > Cheers, > -- > Andrew Antle > <andrew dot antle at gmail dot com> > >
