Seems git+file:// scheme doesn't work

[etosan]

I tried several approaches, but I would really like to have personal git repo alongside hg clone of upstream.

Given upstream project is hg, I would like to hg be able to push into my git clone.

So I learned I need this "plugin". I installed hg-git. Did the bookmark thing and defined "pushpoint" by adding default:pushrl= into [paths] in ./.hg/hgrc.

Now what am I supposed to put there for local paths? Unless I specify file:// scheme, hg complains that target is not url. But when I try to do git+file:// (trying to indicate to plugin that this is indeed a "git path") it complains "Repository not found"

You don't need any prefix. Just path as /example/path .

[etosan]

hmm call me idiot, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Can you please confirm it works on your system?

[marutosi]

$ git init --bare test
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/test/
$ hg clone --config extensions.git=/somewhere/hg-git/hggit test/ test-hg
updating to branch default
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

[marutosi]

$ hg --cwd test-hg/ path
default = /tmp/test/test

[marutosi]

$ hg -R test-hg/ --config extensions.git=/somewhere/hg-git/hggit in
comparing with /tmp/test/test
no changes found

Seems I have the same problem; a clone from a server (hg clone git://github.com/schacon/hg-git.git "D:\hggit") works fine, but clones from a local repository fails. I tried many, many variants...

From the different error messages I came to understand that I need to include paths in quotation marks (I run Windows 10, TortoiseHg 4.5, Mercurial 4.5). As @marutosi doesn't use drive letters, I wonder if this is a Windows issue?

The variants

• hg clone "C:\[somePath]\[myrepo]" "D:\newrepo"
• hg clone --config "extensions.git=D:\hg-git\hggit" "C:\[somePath]\[myrepo]" "D:\newrepo"

both results in the error below (any relation to issue 317?):

[edit: the solution from stackexchange doesn't work either; also tried to replace all "" in the path with "/"...]

This may be fixed by the patch I just sent to the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hg-git/7RHlqTP9HOk

Hope this helps!
