vc-hg.el has been checked in recently. Unfortunately Ivan Kanis, the
vc-hg.el author does not have much time to maintain it.
I implemented some of the missing functionality, but there are some
things that still need to be done. Here's a tentative list:
- thoroughly test and fix problems that are found
- write regexps for log-view to understand the "hg log" output
- implement vc-dired
- implement vc-snapshot
I have never used the 2 above, so I don't know much about them, or
even if they make sense for Mercurial.
- Implement Stefan Monnier's advice:
vc-hg-registered and vc-hg-state
Both of those functions should be super extra careful to fail gracefully in
unexpected circumstances. The most important such case is when the `hg'
executable is not available. The reason this is important is that any error
there will prevent the user from even looking at the file :-(
Ideally, just like in vc-arch and vc-cvs, checking that the file is under
mercurial's control and extracting the current revision should be done
without even using `hg' (this way even if you don't have `hg' installed,
Emacs is able to tell you this file is under mercurial's control).
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
