[ANNOUNCE] Push / Pull / Clone GUI - PushMePullYou

[Mark Williamson]

Hi all,

Over the past few days I've been playing with hacking up a push / pull / clone 
GUI for Mercurial (and eventually for other revision control systems too).  
My real aim is to fill the gaps in functionality left by the existing 
viewers, changeset committers, etc.  All of those do their job rather well, 
so I'm not trying to replace those - though integrating nicely with them 
would be a cood thing.

I'm putting some really early code out here as a heads-up that I'm working on 
this, and for suggestions as to where I should take it.  I'm also hoping that 
some of you guys will like it and badger me to keep working on it so I don't 
have to self-motivate so much ;-)

The current code can:
* Clone a repository
* View outgoing / incoming changesets between a currently selected repo and 
foreign repos chosen from the [paths] section of the current config
* Push / Pull against foreign repos

Some functionality (like the command line and the favourites manager) is 
currently stubbed out but might do something interesting in the future.

Please note that is alpha-quality software, and as such it could trash your 
data / make your computer get up and run away / eat your Christmas pudding 
whilst you're asleep.  In short, please treat it as having potentially 
dangerous bugs and don't trust it too much ;-)

The repository is here:
http://xenbits.xensource.com/maw/pmpu.hg

Unfortunately, I've not got round to making it friendly to build / install so 
far - and given it's Christmas Eve I'm not sure I'll have time to do so for a 
little while.  So currently to run it you need to:

pyuic4 clone.ui > clone.py
pyuic4 about.ui > about.py
pyuic4 pmpu_main.ui > pmpu_main.py

./pmpu	

I've got some plans for how I want this to develop in terms of UI and 
functionality, so if anyone's curious please don't hesitate to ask questions.

Merry Christmas everyone, and good night.

Cheers,
Mark
