No, that's not the same thing. Vladimir at least was able to connect
to the repository.
Well, by 'same thing', I meant that 'hg tip' gives me the same information
that Vladimir was reporting:
changeset: 4310:a6d7e031a10b

What does `grep default .hg/hgrc' tell you?
Actually, there's no hgrc file in the .hg directory. The contents are
$ ls -al .hg

This is on Cygwin; however, my Linux box has exactly the same contents and gives exactly
the same message to 'hg pull'. Perhaps I did the wrong thing when I first got the
source. I'm pretty sure I ran
hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta
when I first got the source. Maybe I need to start over?
If it's
ssh://hg.debian.org//hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta, then you probably are
having problems with your ssh-agent (need to ssh-add, maybe?)
Otherwise, if something other than
http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta is returned, you can try
setting it to that. This may not work (eg, if your original repo was
cloned from one of our experimental repos or if it's a CVS workspace
;-), in which case you'll have to do a new
hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta
Note that Mercurial's default behavior is somewhat inconvenient for
non-core-developers. You can get "cvs update" behavior with "hg pull
-u"
which automatically follows up an "hg pull" with an "hg update". I
don't know if there's a cvsrc-like way to make "-u" the default option
for pull.
You can also enable the fetch extension by adding
[extensions]
hgext.fetch =
to ~/.hgrc. This performs an hg pull then an hg update, followed by
calling your favorite 3-way merge program for any files that have
conflicts.
Scratch that. I was looking through some of the Mercurial-related messages that I've
saved, and I found one from Michael Sperber on 12/7 (see
http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2007-December/012893.html) that gives the
following commands for initially getting the source:
hg init xemacs
cd xemacs
hg pull http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta
*That's* how I initially got the source. It looks like I should have used 'hg
clone' instead?
