Mercurial windows hook on local commit add comment

#Mercurial windows hook on local commit add comment how to#

Trust me, it was not easy to figure out how to create a simple mapping of paths in the repository to commit objects. I added the gitpython dependency so I would have access to Git from Python. The first problem was reading the commits from the local repository. At the very least now you can look at the file and go to the revision in GitHub and follow the changes to the file through revisions. Still, I really wanted to populate these tags with something - so instead of adding the revision that the file was modified, I changed it to the revision that the file was created. Moreover, if you change the file in place in a pre-commit hook in Git, then the staging index is modified and the hash changes. In a decentralized VCS like Git (and Mercurial for that matter), the commit identity is not known until after commit and merge.

The problem is that this really only works in a centralized version control system - because you know what the next commit will be before you do it. This line has remained in my code banner ever since, even when I switched to Git, and as a result, much of my code doesnРІР‚в„ўt have this ID!

Back when I first started programming, I used Mercurial for revision control, and we had a pre-commit hook that would automatically populate our files with this line and the first seven characters of the SHA-1 hash for the commit. This was pretty cool for tracking who did what in files and for specifically finding the correct version of changes. This final line is a throw back to Subversion actually, when you could add a $Id$ tag to your code, and Subversion would automatically populate it with something that looks like: $Id: test.php 110 05:20:41Z dordal $ # main # short description # Author: Benjamin Bengfort # Created: Tue Mar 08 14:07:24 2016 -0500 # Copyright (C) 2016 # For license information, see LICENSE.txt # ID: main.py $Р”Р„ll of this is pretty self explanatory with the exception of the final line.
