This talk presents Mercurial Queue (mq), an extension to the Mercurial … all » Version Control System (VCS). Mq is used to manage a series of patches in the same way that quilt does. The main difference is its complete integration with the VCS software, so that you can manipulate the patches as changeset objects. Mq adheres to the Mercurial philosophy: it is simple to use and blazingly fast. It can manage hundreds of patches applied to a 20,000 file repository.See Bryan O’Sullivan “Mercurial Extension: mercurial queue” at Google Video.
Mercurial is a free distributed revision control system. It focuses on conceptual simplicity, robustness, and high performance. Well-known open source projects that use Mercurial include OpenSolaris, Xen, and One Laptop Per Child.This talk presents some of the advantages of using Mercurial to manage large, fast-moving projects. We give a brief overview of the techniques used to achieve, in Python, a level of performance that outshines most other revision control systems. Finally, we introduce some novel revision control techniques that take advantage of Mercurial’s extensibility and high performance.Bryan O’Sullivan “Mercurial Project” at Google Video.
