Ok, so we recently converted from SVN to Mercurial.
We are using TortoiseHG normally.
In our one repository we have all of our projects, C++ / .NET / ASP. We have about 100 projects, all using common library projects.
So it would be quite difficult task to create multiple repo's for each project.
Now, we have the default
branch, and let's say branchA
.
I'm working on BranchA
and adding my uber changes to it, and I change a common library, let's say an extension method
I want to commit this to branchA
and default
, how would I go about this?
However, I don't want all my changes from branchA
to be merged into default
, and I don't want all the other changes from default
Hopefully this is sufficient information!
Just to keep things a bit updated: there is the graft command which implements cherry-picking in Mercurial.
This command uses Mercurial's merge logic to copy individual changes from other branches without merging branches in the history graph. This is sometimes known as 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking'. By default, graft will copy user, date, and description from the source changesets.
