Mercurial: pull changes from unversioned copy
- by Austin Hyde
I am currently maintaining a Mercurial repository of the project I am working on.
The rest of the team, however, doesn't.
There is a "good" (unversioned) copy of the code base that I can access by SSH. What I would like to do is be able to do something like an hg pull from that good copy into my master repository whenever it gets updated.
As far as I can tell, there's no obvious way to do this, as hg pull requires you have a source hg repository.
I suppose I could use a utility like rsync to update my repository, then commit, but I was wondering:
Is there was an easier/less contrived way to do this?
