 | For New Mercurial Users! If you're a Teamware user who's new to the Mercurial world, go here: Mercurial for TeamWare users |
This page is for some working notes on the nitty gritty details of transitioning a large project with many users from Teamware to Mercurial.
Cadmium
The OpenSolaris group is working on a set of extensions to Mercurial called Cadmium (of course). Some might not be appropriate for an audience outside OpenSolaris. Someone needs to go examine the features, help them get those feature rolled back into Mercurial so that other Mercurial users can get them without maintaining and updating yet another extension. We need to review those features in a broader context so I know if I should recommend them to everyone.
Porting history
Teamware presents a special challenge in converting history, because of its "ocean of files" model. Kelly talks about this issue in some of his blog entries.

merge tools
Teamware users are used to filemerge, what are the alternatives? How can we get them? Are there already Solaris binaries?
