Why are mercurial subrepos behaving as unversioned files in eclipse AND torotoiseHG
- by noam
I am trying to use the subrepo feature of mercurial, using the mercurial eclipse plugin\tortoiseHG.
These are the steps I took:
Created an empty dir /root
cloned all repos that I want to be subrepos inside this folder (/root/sub1, /root/sub2)
Created and added the .hgsub file in the root repo /root/.hgsub and put all the mappings of the sub repos in it
using tortoiseHG, right clicked on /root and selected create repository here
again with tortoise, selected all the files inside /root and added them to to the root repo
commited the root repo
pushed the local root repo into an empty repo I have set up on kiln
Then, I pulled the root repo in eclipse, using import-mercurial.
Now I see that all the subrepos appear as though they are unversioned (no "orange cylinder" icon next to their corresponding folders in the eclipse file explorer).
Furthermore, when I right click on one of the subrepos, I don't get all the hg commands in the "team" menu as I usually get, with root projects - no "pull", "push" etc.
Also, when I made a change to a file in a subrepo, and then "committed" the root project, it told me there were no changes found.
I see the same behavior also in tortoiseHG - When I am browsing files under /root, the files belonging directly to the root repo have an small icon (a V sign) on them marking they are version controlled, while the subrepos' folders aren't marked as such.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug?
