See: * the [[http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2006-May/008165.html|Mailing list announcement]] * Bryan's writeup: [[http://www.serpentine.com/blog/2006/06/01/joint-mercurial-bazaar-ng-sprint/|Part I]] and [[http://www.serpentine.com/blog/2006/06/12/the-joint-mercurial-bazaar-ng-sprint-aftermath/|Part II]] * the photo: {{attachment:spidergoat-2006.jpg}} * the people in the photo (from left to right): Matt Mackall, Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Thomas Arendsen Hein, Mark Shuttleworth, Benoit Boissinot, John Arbash Meinel, Robert collins, Bryan O'Sullivan. Topics for London sprint: * efficient handling of tags * we currently read the manifest of each head in order to figure out which versions of the hgtags file to use. on a moderately large repo, even a single head makes this very slow * possible improvements to branch tag algorithm * when merging named branches A and B, the new head shows up as the head of both A and B, so the asymmetry of "merged A into B" is not preserved * what do we want to do, if anything, about deletions in file level revlogs? * revisit appendfile * might be simpler to handle changelog specially; manifest doesn't need appendfile at all * merge w/renames * improving docs * api docs * user docs * more efficient findincoming? * rsync/sftp support * http{,s} push support * add "unbundle" verb for ssh and http, to avoid exposing locking to remote clients * handling of case-sensitivity and locale issues ---- CategoryMeetings
