Description

It took me a while to understand why the bug were not closed in my redmine instance... The problem is that the mercurial SCM stuff only reads information that are on the main branch ("named branches" in mercurial terminology). As a result, changes on other branches are not available:

  • on the file browser (this is ok)
  • in the history of each file (not good)
  • in the global history at the bottom of the /projects/xxx/repository/ page (not good)
  • automatic fixes of tickets using "fixes #xx" is not done (not good, especially when the non-default branch is a stable one..)

My repository layout is simple:
% hg branches
branch-1.0 1300:267cf8a7e905
default 1298:a00cb05dd3d2

Sorry, This issue is "main" and "stable" repository problem.
I think this issue is related #779.

Simple solution is to prepare "main + stable" repository.

automatic mix of crew and main (may contain multiple heads)

Description seems like you did history editing, "hg strip", "hg rebase" etc.
Mercurial revision number is sequential from 0 and Redmine 1.1 does not treat Mercurial "named branch".
We will fix inconsistency with Mercurial repository and database at #3724.
But, if you did history editing, you need to delete repository and re-add it at Redmine setting.

And we will support a feature of Mercurial "named branch".

I close this issue.

I did not edit history, not even a rebase. I know that i need to delete/readd the repository if i did. (i have done this several times on other projects).

No, the problem is that 'named branch' were not seen by mercurial, which you seem to acknowledge/agree.

I already follow the ticket #3724 (using revision id instead of changeset seemed so wrong to me...).

So what you say is that you will do it in the future, but you already close my ticket..? This seems a weird approach of project management.... ? Shouldn't the ticket be closed only when the actual modification has been made ?

Anyway, thanks for taking care of improving mercurial support in redmine, this is needed.

Thank you for your reply.
Now I clean up mercurial issues on Redmine for JPL's suggestion at note-199 of #4455.

"Named branch" support is feature issue.
There is "tag" feature issue at #1981.
But, there is not "Named branch".
Could you create new feature issue for "Named branch"?

I attach TortoiseHg repository images.

TortoiseHg has two named branches.
Now stable is 1.1.x, default is 1.9.x.

"thg" is only in default branch.


$ LANG=C hg branches
default                     9824:493a9d3809e9
stable                      9818:66fb6e2ff598 (inactive)
