Hi Jason (or anybody), Does anybody have a clue if it is possible to take a directory (e.g., devel/sage/) with an .hg repo directory in it, and do the following:
(1) export everything in the .hg repo to something (perhaps a ton of stuff) in plain text format, (2) delete .hg (3) do something that recovers the .hg directory from the output of (1). Note that just doing hg_sage.export([0..10000]), where say 10000 is the tip, doesn't work, because that looses all information about branching, etc., hence fails completely. If mercurial can't do the above, that is a _very_ serious problem for the longterm viability of Mercurial at least for Sage. So any ideas how to do the above? The reason for doing (1) -- (3) is that it is possible to scan an .hg directory with antivirus tools. Thus something silly like "base64-encode a tarball of .hg" won't work. -- william -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
