Subject: vcs_info for mercurial doesn't detect shared repos
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 17:59:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389837583.24091.71345781.48879D2E@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)

Hi,
The hg share extension [1] lets you have multiple working trees with
with the same backing repository. It seems vcs_info fails to detect
working copies where the share extension is used because those .hg dirs
don't contain "store" or "data" subdirectories as the VCS detection
requires. It think it would be safer to look for the "hgrc" or "branch"
file.
