New config/snapshot files format

Pierre-Yves David requested to merge topic/aleufroy/configfile/bitbucket-pr-11 into branch/default

Created originally on Bitbucket by aleufroy (Alain L)

Hi,$

Here is a proposition for a new config/snaphots files format that is more flexible than the previous one.

The subrepositories configuration parameters are placed in an INI file ".hggrconf".$ Using this format simplify adding new configuration parameters. The sections of the INI file are guest names and values are configuration parameters:

  • "pulluri" for remote uri$
  • "layout" for filesystem location.$

Example:

#!INI

[mygr1-name]
layout = mygr1
pulluri = http://hg.logilab.org/users/alain/guestrepo

[mygr2-name]
layout = deepeer/path/mygr2
pulluri = mygr1

The snapshoot file contains metadata about the repository state.$ It is named .hggrsnap. It has the same format as the snapshot file of subrepo. Example:

#!INI
mygr1 = branch1
deepeer/path/mygr2 = mytag$

Note that the configuration file is always loaded even for the grfreeze command.

Note also that there are many arbitrary names :)

Best
