Mercurial

[yvi]

I have been trying to actually use Mercurial for my dev work these past few days, and I still don't quite get it.

I have read http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dev_Version_Control , so I can now make a new changeset, then do my changes and sync with the live code, but a few things still escape me.

Do I need to use hg qcommit at some point?

How do I unapply all the patches and then sync with the DW repository without Mercurial applying all my patches again?

Do I need to use hg qfinish?

Or, if anyone just wants to sketch out how they work with Mercurial in their dev environment, that would be great.

If you're really done with your patches, you can take them out of the queue but keep the files with hg qpop and hg qdel -k then resync of course with dws and dwdb. Or do a simple hg qdel but you'll lose the patch file. I save all my patches on my computer or a dedicated folder on my DH and can easily re-import them with qimport, though.

"you can take them out of the queue but keep the files with hg qpop and hg qdel -k "

*lightbulb moment of understanding* :)

Thanks!
