| * mpm: There will be a partial commit in progress during the backup. The repo will contain part of the commit and won't pass verify. Doing a pull of the last good revision will repair it. |
(this is a summary of a thread on the mailing list around 2007-08-11. backing up of a mercurial repository can be done:
- regular cloning - only if you check in regularly
you may use mq init -c to also allow backup of your local changes (see MqTutorial)
- copy the filesystem
- mpm: there is a "potential not serious race" when somebody is pushing at the same time to the rep
- mpm: There will be a partial commit in progress during the backup. The repo will contain part of the commit and won't pass verify. Doing a pull of the last good revision will repair it.
- mpm: if the filesystem is able to create snapshots (like zfs) there is no race. take a snapshot, then back it up
