I've installed reviewboard (both in windows and linux), I successfully added an svn repository (i see the commits on the repo in http://reviewboard.ourcompany.com/reviewboard/r/new/) but I can't figure out how to properly add a mercurial repo, I added it to the repo list but there i no way of getting the commits out of it.
I tried using as path:
1)the http address of the mercurial server (the address is correct)
2)cloning locally a bare repo from the http server
I couldn't find any tutorial on how to configure reviewboard with mercurial

I'd like to pull a Mercurial web repository into my local filesystem to work. I used the following command but I get the error: Merucrial Repository (.hg directory not found). But my boss said Mercurial is installed in the machine.
hg pull https://username#web_repository_name
What is the proper way to get a working copy of a Mercurial repository?
You need to start by executing a clone of the repository, after which you can use pull to incrementally add new changes.
These are really the basics of Mercurial, so I would propose you read this tutorial, followed by this Mercurial guide.
I've just installed mercurial onto my server for team central repo, i've cloned the repo onto my local machine all worked fine, i've made changes and committed them to my local repo, but when i push to central command i get "ssl required" error. After researching it seems i have to enter :
[web]
push_ssl=False
allow_push=*
into the hgrc file. I have looked in the repo directory under /.hg but there is no hgrc file in this folder i only have, branchheads.cache, dirstate, 00changelog.i, requires, tags,cace, undo.branch, undo.dirstate,
any help would be great so i can push the changes back to the server for other developers to pull down
Just create .hgrc file (note leading dot), if it doesn't exist
I have the all-in-one download with TortoiseHg 2.6.1 and Mercurial 2.4.1 installed on windows server 2k8. I created a repository, served it on port 8000. There are no mercurial configuration files setup right now for this repository. No global config files either. When I try to clone this repos through eclipse (MercruialEclipse plugin) from a remote computer over the internet, I get:
abort: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
What does this mean?
Thanks.
Found the solution. The command syntax was incorrect. The incorrect syntax I was using was
hg clone http://www.xyz.com:8000/<dirname for the repo clone>
The correct command is:
hg clone http://www.xyz.com:8000/ <dirname for the repo clone>
Should also mention that I am using version 2.3.2(mercurial)
Is this possible to have external mercurial repository in redmine just like svn?
For svn i've got following configoration options and it work with external repos:
For mercurial i can only enter local path to repository:
I don't think this is possible, you will need a local clone as stated in the Redmine documentation:
Mercurial repository
To synchronize with a Mercurial
repository, you will have to have a
local clone of the repository on the
same server you have Redmine installed
on. Let's say you put Redmine in
/var/www/redmine.example.com/www and
have put your mercurial repository in
/var/www/sources.example.com/repo/example,
you would have to select Mercurial as
a SCM, then enter
/var/www/sources.example.com/repo/example
in the repository text box.
A similar question has been asked in the Redmine forums. You'll need to set up a local clone and update it automatically, e.g. by using a cron job.
I have a local machine ("laptop") and a shared Mercurial repository on another machine ("server").
The shared repository is set up as a multi-repository as described in the Mercurial documentation using Apache, the hgwebdir.cgi script and Mercurial 1.4.
The setup works in the sense that I can browse the projects (repositories) in the web browser, I can clone and pull from the server, and I can push from the laptop when the project/repository already exists on the server.
But I cannot create a new project on the laptop (hg init, do stuff, hg commit) and push it to the shared multi-repository (hg push http://server/hg/my-new-project-name) - I get "abort: HTTP Error 404: Not Found", presumably because the directory/project repository does not exist yet.
How can I push a new project/directory structure to a Mercurial running elsewhere? I couldn't find anything in the documentation, how do you guys do it?
You cannot create new remote repositories over http with the built-in functionality. Your options are to either:
create with a ssh clone: `ssh clone local-repo ssh://you#remote//path/to/repo'
log in to the remote repo and do a hg init where you want the repo. After that you can push to the new empty repo
Use a cheesy http-creation CGI like the one I wrote here: http://ry4an.org/unblog/UnBlog/2009-09-17
Update
I tried using Dropbox as described below, but couldn't make it sufficiently reliable, so I'm not recommending that option.
Original answer below, kept for context.
/update
I found one more option: Skipping both http and ssh altogether and using Dropbox for shared repos.
For the one-person-multiple-computers scenario, it looks like the simplest option of the lot, and you get backups as a nice side effect.
