Viewing tags in hgweb

[Roy Marples]

Hi List

Thanks for providing this nice tool! It's nice to see my git repos in hg with a
reasonable timeline - all other conversion tools fail with the log!

I've packed the 0.9.0a1 release into pkgsrc-wip for wider testing, it works well
for me :)
The result is here:

I have a question though regarding tags. I can see the git tags using the `hg
tags` command, but I don't see the tags in the hgweb interface.
Is this something that is easily fixable?

Thanks

Roy

Unlike Git branches, which get converted into bookmarks, Git tags are never actually converted, but merely stored or cached within the repository. As a result, the only way to have them shown in a Mercurial repository is through hg-git; i.e. enable the extension, and pull from a Git remote re-convert the history. This shouldn’t actually create any new commits, as the conversion ought to result in the exact same changesets already there.

So, to sum up: enable hg-git on your server and pull.

(Apologies for the rather late response, but I haven’t been following this list all that much, and just saw your mail.)

Hi Dan

I've enabled hg-git-0.9.0 on my web server (for reference running under uwsgi + nginx).

Here's the full config

[paths]
/hg/ = /var/hg/*

[extensions]
highlight =
hgext.bookmarks =
hggit =

[web]
staticurl = /hg/static

I still don't see any tags via the web-ui

On the web server I can see the tags by running `hg tags` on the command line.

I've also been quite busy on other projects, but looking again at this now.

Thanks

Roy

Erm, looking at <https://roy.marples.name/hg/dhcpcd-hg-git/tags>, I see plenty of them listed? Everything appears to work?
