+Start on a project +================== + +There are many ways to start with Mercurial/TortoiseHg on a project. + +1. The project already exists and is unrevisioned. You have to *create* + a new repository. +2. You want to hack on a project already revisioned with Mercurial. You + have to *clone* a repository. +3. The project already exists and is revisioned under a different + SCM. You have to *convert* the repository. + +.. note:: + Other cases, like *an existing project under a different SCM, you + want to keep this SCM but use Mercurial as client*, are out of the + scope of this manual, and TortoiseHg can not help you in any way. + +In the first two cases TortoiseHg can help you with a specific tool, see +the next two sections. + +Convert a project +----------------- + +TortoiseHg has not a specific tool to do the conversion, but after the +conversion done with Mercurial you can use TortoiseHg as usually in +this converted project. + +How to do the conversion is not in the scope of this manual, please +refer to http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RepositoryConversion for +more details. + +Normally a conversion is done by enabling the *convert* extension and, +from the parent directory of the checked-out project type:: + + hg convert myproject + +After the conversion you have a sibling directory of :file:`myproject` +called :file:`myproject-hg`. Start to play on it. + +.. vim: noet ts=4
