is seeing the same problem as I under Mac OS X 10.5.2 using
macports-installed mercurial (0.9.5).
Heh. Once again I'm glad I don't upgrade proprietary warez until
dragged kicking and screaming into the previous decade. However,
"port info" specifically boasts that FileMerge is "supported", so I
have no doubt you're seeing what you're saying.
The two problems I see are
1)
hg 0.9.5 (installed from macports) will add ACLs to all the files and
prevent changes by group members if the directory which contains the
source does not have group write access. The ACLs override the owner's
write access. Note, that hg status (which should change nothing) also
causes the change; isn't that a violation of some UI dogma?
Yes. This is very bad news behavior. Please report to both MacPorts
and upstream. I just port update'd from svn this morning and there
are no MacPorts patches, so it's upstream breakage.
2)
hg pull causes any differences to be processed through Xcode's
FileMerge program which is an interactive GUI and not automatic--new
development with 10.5.2
That's annoying. You could try setting
[ui]
merge = /usr/bin/merge
in ~/.hgrc.
