:synopsis: Describe extensions bundled with TortoiseHg binary packages
This chapter describes Mercurial extensions that are shipped with
TortoiseHg binary packages for Windows. These external extensions are
included as a convenience to users, so they can be easily enabled as
soon as they are needed.
Hgfold
======
`hgfold <http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CaseFoldExtension>`_ is a
Mercurial extension that helps Windows users deal with filename case
collisions on VFAT and NTFS.
It adds options to the following Mercurial commands. Type
:command:`hg help <command>` for more information::
up - allows you to update to a revision with filename collisions
merge - allows you to merge with a changeset that would create filename collisions
The extension does not currently do anything to prevent filename
collisions. See discussion on the Mercurial Wiki
**Installation**
To test the use of this plugin, you can specify it on the Mercurial
command line like this::
hg --config "extensions.fold=" status
You may want to add it to your Mercurial.ini or a repository's hgrc like this::
[extensions]
fold=
If you do this, you can omit the --config command-line option.
**Warnings**
Like all merge operations, fold.py has to change the parents of the
working directory. It is still in early testing, so use with caution.
If you get an error about an unknown changeset after running
:command:`hg recover` try
:command:`hg debugsetparents <number of tip revision>`.
You can find the number of the tip revision by running :command:`hg log -l 2`.
Hgcr-gui
========
CodeReview management tool
* This extension allows you to manage reviews for your code in any project you like.
* It helps to keep the review management inside the mercurial.
* One can add files to the review, remove them and notify reviewr that files are ready for review.
* The reviewer can mark the code as 'completed' review cycle and return the message to the developer.
* The project manager can check the review status - which files are reviewd and which are not yet.
* The extension will automatically spot the files that were changed since their last review and notify about that.
* This extension uses GUI from TortoiseHg but also implements command line interface.
* Code review database is stored in .code-review file in your repository root directory as a map of file and revision when review was done.
**Usage**::
hg cr [OPTIONS] [FILES]
Code Review Plugin (requires Mercurial 1.3.x and TortoiseHg 0.9)
options:
-c --complete Mark CR as complete
-a --add Add files to CR list
-r --remove Remove files from CR list
-l --list Print files in CR list
use "hg -v help cr" to show global options
.. note::
To start GUI don't give any options.
**More Details**
* I've implemented the review around files and not changesets, because at the end,
I want to be able to tell for the specific project if all the files went through
code review process or not - the project status.
* Suppose you have some project that you are in charge and many developers do
write code for it. And there is a group of reviewrs that review the developers code.
* Is is very difficult to keep track of changes developers do, but simple to find
out what files have already been reviewd (by reviewers) and what were not.
* Using this extension, Developer can mark his files (when finished development
process) as "Ready for review" and send notice to reviewer.
* Reviewer will pick up the changeset (because changesets are stored in the code
review database) and perform code review (put notes inside the developer's code).
* Afterwards Reviewr will mark the files as "Review Completed" and return the
notice to the developer.
* The project manager can follow every time what is going on with his/her project.
**Installation**
You may want to add it to your Mercurial.ini or a repository's hgrc like this::
