Diff for "IRC"

IRC

Internet Relay Chat is one of the best ways to interact with the Mercurial community. We can be found in the channel #mercurial on irc.freenode.net.

Etiquette

The Mercurial channel usually has a couple hundred people in it, so to help things go smoothly, we ask that you:

• Don't ask if you can ask a question
• If you want help with a bug, please be responsive to developer questions
• Don't make demands of developers - they're under no obligation to help anyone
• Don't be rude to other Mercurial users
• We're not fluent in all SCMs, don't assume we know what a "git foo-bar" is
• Try to avoid prolonged digressions about things other than Mercurial

• Use http://paste.lisp.org/new/mercurial to share tracebacks, etc.
