I have no idea of what this is, neither does > merriam-webster.com ;-). There are some Google hits, though... Not sure if they are of people making the same mistakes as I do ;) Regards Antoine.

Yes, but it's too easy to forget the awkward "--no-commit" option.

hg extensions was Mercurial conversion repositories
by Dj Gilcrease Feb. 27, 2011

Feb. 27, 2011

So reading the thread about the conversion and the dev guide at http://potrou.net/hgdevguide/ there seems to not be a list of recommended extensions that the python devs should have and use, only a few examples of their use. so I figured I would build up a list for other people to add to / comment on File Format Management eol http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/EolExtension required flake8 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/ recommended especially for … [View More]

> + if branch in ('trunk', 'legacy-trunk', > + '2.0', '2.1', '2.2', '2.3', '2.4', '3.0'): Wouldn’t using a whitelist instead of a blacklist protect against new named branches too?

set iteration order
by Hagen Fürstenau Feb. 27, 2011

Feb. 27, 2011

Hi, I just hunted down a change in behaviour between Python 3.1 and 3.2 to possibly changed iteration order of sets due to the optimization in issue #8685. Of course, this order shouldn't be relied on in the first place, but the side effect of the optimization might be worth mentioning in "What's new", maybe also pointing out that the old behaviour can be simulated with {x for x in a if x not in b} in place of "a-b". Cheers, Hagen

We don't have such hook in SVN, why would we need one with Mercurial ?
