Patchbomb extension
This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.
Author: Bryan O'Sullivan
1. Overview
This extension adds a new email command to send a collection of Mercurial changesets as a series of patch emails.
The series is started off with a "[PATCH 0 of N]" introduction, which describes the series as a whole and is followed by additional patch emails with a subject header describing the order in which the patches should be applied.
The message contains two or three body parts:
- The remainder of the changeset description.
- An optional run of diffstat on the patch if it's avaliable
- The patch itself, as generated by "hg export".
Each message refers to all of its predecessors using the In-Reply-To and References headers, so they will show up as a sequence in threaded mail and news readers, and in mail archives.
For each changeset, you will be prompted with a diffstat summary and the changeset summary, so you can be sure you are sending the right changes. The messages can be directly sent, or written to an mbox file, and a test mode is also avaliable to review what would the resulting mails look like.
2. Configuration
To enable this extension add it to the extensions stanza in the hgrc file:
[extensions] hgext.patchbomb =
You must then configure it to either use your system's sendmail, or to use SMTP. To use sendmail, use something like this:
[email] method = /usr/sbin/sendmail
For direct SMTP:
[email] method = smtp [smtp] host = smtp.example.com # Optional options: # username = joeuser # password = secret # port = 25 # tls = true # local_hostname = me.example.com
To (optionally) configure other defaults, add a section like this to your hgrc file:
[email] from = My Name <my@email> to = recipient1, recipient2, ... cc = cc1, cc2, ... bcc = bcc1, bcc2, ...
3. Usage
hg email [OPTION]... [REV]...
Use hg help email to know about additional options.
