Re: RFC: HOWTO: Cherrypicking patches from "xemacs"
"Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen(a)xemacs.org> writes:
The transplant extension does update the Mercurial history of the
branch. According to the transplant documentation [at selenic.com,
url to be provided], this can be annoying if you repeatedly
cherrypick, but not all of the patches you want make it into
"xemacs-beta" in a timely fashion, as Mercurial will repeatedly
complain about conflicts. So, use of the transplant extension may be
somewhat more complex than just using patch. On the other hand, if
you have other local modifications, then even if you mess up, you'll
have all history needed to reconstruct your favorite configuration of
XEmacs in the workspace.
I think these problems mostly occur when you pull patches you've
previously transplanted, which I don't think is likely to occur in this
setting, i.e. temporary cherry-picked branches. (I manage Scheme 48
releases exclusively using "hg transplant", and it works great.)
