This extension is not distributed with Mercurial.
Author: Paul Moore
Download site: Download direct from this page - info.py
Overview
This extension displays basic information about a (local) repository. The information displayed includes:
- The repository root.
- The "base hash" - the changeset ID of revision 0 of the repository. This is the nearest equivalent of a unique identifier for the repository.
- The number of revisions present in the repository.
- The number of files in the tip revision.
- The location (if any) from which this repository was cloned.
- The default push location for the repository.
An example of usage:
>hg info Repository: C:\Data\Mercurial\crew Base Hash: 9117c6561b0bd7792fa13b50d28239d51b78e51f Revisions: 6469 Files: 787 Cloned From: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew
Configuration
Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:
[extensions] info = path/to/info.py
History
- 2009-04-30 - Compatibility with Mercurial 1.1
Feedback
This dies for me on the current mercurial on the line
- ui.write(_("Revisions: %s\n") % (repo.changelog.count(),))
with the error message saying:
AttributeError: 'changelog' object has no attribute 'count'
So this probably means it's no longer compatible with the current version of mercurial.
DirkjanOchtman: the repo.changelog.count() can be changed to len(repo) (needed for 1.1+). PaulMoore: Thanks, fixed (with a patch supplied by Greg Ward).
Martin Häcker: Mercurial 3.8.1 now warns about the command not registered using the decorator, locally for me this patch works. Feel free to remove it from this page once it is applied. (See https://bitbucket.org/dwt/hg-info/ for someting easier to clone from)
