Hi,
As I said I use Manuel Jacob's patch to export named branches (or topic) to git repositories.
So I run the following experiment.
hg init
echo "First" >
test.org
hg add
test.org
hg commit -u "Bernhard Riemann <
bernhard...@gmail.com>" -m "First into default"
echo "Second" >>
test.org
hg commit -u "Bernhard Riemann <
bernhard...@gmail.com>" -m "Second into default"
hg up 1
hg branch feature
echo "Third" >>
test.org
hg commit -u "Bernhard Riemann <
bernhard...@gmail.com>" -m "Third into feature branch"
echo "Forth" >>
test.org
hg commit -u "Bernhard Riemann <
bernhard...@gmail.com>" -m "Forth into feature branch"
hg up 1
hg branch testbranch
echo "Fifth" >>
test.org
hg commit -u "Bernhard Riemann <
bernhard...@gmail.com>" -m "Fifth into testbranch"
echo "Six" >>
test.org
hg commit -u "Bernhard Riemann <
bernhard...@gmail.com>" -m "Six into testbranch"
That gives the following graph

Summary: First into default
So I push that to a freshly created git repository (in gitlab) and clone
it back with git.
Using
git log --graph --color=always --all --since=2years --decorate --pretty | git name-rev --annotate-stdin | less -R
I obtain the following graph

First into default
Which looks very similar.
Now name-rev is determined on the fly by git as I understand it and not
stored anywhere. But maybe one could clone/pull a git repository with
git first to the machine and then import that bridge into mercurial and
importing the git branches into named branches?
A problem could be to find out where the branch started.

Any comments?
Thanks and regards
