[ANN] hgsvn 0.1.6

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hi,

Yes hgsvn is more in maintenance mode than in development mode, but here
is a new release anyway. You can find all details and download it at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hgsvn (or simply "easy_install hgsvn").
Please note that the public development repo moved and can now be found
at http://hg.pitrou.net/public/hgsvn/main/

Also, here is the list of changes since the previous version:


Improvements:

* Prefix commit messages with [svn r123] (where 123 is the corresponding SVN
  revision number), rather than just [svn]. Also, trim leading whitespace in
  the original commit message, to avoid blank changeset summaries when the
  message begins with a carriage return.

* Introduce a .hgsvn private directory at the top of the working copy. This
  will us to store various things in a common location without polluting the
  base directory.

* Introduce a lock file (named .hgsvn/lock) to disallow running two hgpullsvn
  instances in parallel on the same repository. The locking mechanism is
  imported from mercurial's own mercurial.lock. If the mercurial package is
  not available, a dummy lock is used instead. Initial patch by Ori Peleg.

* Add a --no-hgignore option to hgimportsvn, for situations where the source
  SVN repository already contains a versioned .hgignore file. Patch by
  Ori Peleg.

* hgsvn can now be bundled as standalone executables using py2exe. Patch by
  Paul Moore.

* More descriptive error message when either hg or svn cannot be executed
  (e.g. not installed). Patch by Joonas Paalasmaa.

Bug fixes:

* Very long commit messages (> 16000 characters) are provided to Mercurial
  through a temporary file rather than the command line, which could fail
  on some platforms. The corresponding commit messages were generated by
  svnmerge. Reported by Ralf Schmitt.

* Filenames starting with a hyphen were considered by hg and SVN as
  command-line options. Report and patch by Mirko Friedenhagen.

* If the last hg changeset mapped to more than one SVN revision, trying to
  update again with ``hgpullsvn`` failed.

* A replaced directory can have added and removed files without them being
  mentioned in the SVN log; we must detect those files ourselves.

* More robust atomicity check for (hg commit, hg tag) sequence. Reported by
  Florent Guillaume.

* Fix a bug when comparing local filesystem paths on Windows. We now invoke
  os.path.normcase on both paths before comparing. Reported by Pavol Murin.
