The Mercurial Sprint, spring 2010 edition

Things that got done

• UI: many error messages have been improved
• mq improvements: parent nodes, UI cleanup, -Q for versioned users, better error messages
• named branches: heads changes, push/pull/in/out per branch, better error messages
• work on the Python conversion, hgsubversion release
• work on support for git subrepos
• improvements for HTTP protocol support
• code to implement progress bars
• rebase --detach (expected behavior), new 'adapt' command soon
• WiX-based installers hg and THG
• support for SSL server certificates
• better import of multiple patches

Things that got kickstarted

• more efficient incoming/outgoing (changelog-only, improved discovery)
• better debugging tools (condensed DAG creation/display)
• useful discussions on narrow/shallow clones (and punching)
• pbranch: use rebase --detach, integration with review/lbranch/overlay
• parent deltas
• basic support for transferring bookmarks
• stream improvements: future hash types support, progress support
• getting interactive hunk selection into core (needs in-memory patching)
• selectively include/exclude help details (examples, background)
• continuous integration using tools from Logilab

• work on a scripting mode (disable customizations; for use with MercurialEclipse, emacs' vc-hg)

• work on output annotation (better support for colors, GUI hooks)
• improvements to the hg-review extension
