About me

I'm a C/C++/C# developer and mostly Windows user. Currently I'm working as code monkey in the automation business. And there I am doomed to use MKS as centralized versioning system. Hopefully not for long, as I'm slowly proselytizing my co-workers towards ["DistributedSCM"] and ["Mercurial"] especially.

Extensions

While I'm happy with Mercurial, there are some pitfalls under Windows and especially in the working environment I'm using it. I tried to address them with some extensions:

• ["TimestampExtension"] - saves and restores timestamps for user-defined files (.hgtimestamp) by means of command (hg timestamp) and hooks (preprecommit and postupdate).

• ["CasestopExtension"] - stops commiting case-folding collisions by means of a precommit hook.

• ["MakewritableExtension"] - interactively removes read-only flag from accessed files.

Projects

I'm using Mercurial for my own open-source projects, too:

• [http://bitbucket.org/face/omp Orbiter Multiplayer Project] - multiplayer framework for Orbiter spaceflight simulator.
