I ve got a problem when I try to sync files in two different repos. What I want to do is:
I ve got 2 repos A and B, and they share some common files, suppose they lie in A/docs/common/ and B/docs/common. So when I write some new docs in A and I want to update it to B or vice versa. How can I do?
I try this: I write a .hgignore in A to ignore the files I don t want to sync to B, and then try to hg push B s repo url. It doesn t work.
So how can I do this?
Thanks.
If I m reading it correctly and your repository roots are above the docs directory (test: hg root says /file/path not /file/path/A) Your current soln, ignoring the files outside of docs in both repos, won t work because mercurial tracks full file paths back to root, to A/ and B/ are part of your file paths so they re different in different the two repos making them separate repos.
One thing you could do is use Mercurial s sub-repository support to make docs a sub-repo that s "included" within both A and B. Then you can push/pull docs around and the separate, different parent repos will keep track of what point on docs they ve been updated to.
If I misread your original situation and A and B are just separate clones and docs is a top level directory with the same path in both repos (test: hg root is /file/path/A and file/path/B), then you ve got a totally normal mercurial situation that should be working. Just make sure you re commiting, pushing (or pulling), and updating and you should see changes migrate across.
