[Python-Dev] Mercurial mirrors (original) (raw)

Hello,

Thanks to Neil Schemenauer, we now have some Mercurial mirrors hosted at http://code.python.org/hg/

Here are the URLs for each of the available repositories:

For Mercurial beginners, each of the URLs above references both a human-readable Web interface to browse the repositories (view changesets, subscribe to an RSS feed, annotate source files...), and a machine-queryable address to "clone" the repositories for local, offline use.

That is, if you run "hg clone http://code.python.org/hg/trunk/", you'll get a "trunk" subdirectory containing the whole trunk history in a local repository, as well as a working copy. You can then do, e.g. "hg annotate setup.py" at light speed.

The Mercurial mirrors are sync'ed with the SVN repo every 5 minutes. They are read-only, that is you cannot push to them.

(technical note: the mirrors are done using my own "hgsvn", but an alternate strategy would be to use the builtin "hg convert" instead)

Regards

Antoine.
