Using Mercurial Plugin 1.45-h-2 with Hudson 3.3.0.

Upon build it issues two hg commands:
1. hg clone --rev MyTag --noupdate .... successes
2. hg update --rev MyTag

2nd command fails with 'abort: unknown revision MyTag'

I used to use the older version of plugin which cloned using a single hg command and it worked well.

Why did they change the way of cloning and is there a workaround?

Probably that is because a Mercurial tag is not recorded at the tagged revision. If you clone a repository up to any tag, that tag is not yet tagged in your local copy! You would have to clone the whole repository if you would like to see tags correctly.

Exactly!
The problem is that Mercurial plugin clones repository without update (--noupdate) and then tries to update to the tag (which isn't available at that moment).

I don't know why that two phase update was implemented but it appears the implementer didn't think of tags. A simple workaround is to use bookmarks instead to tags in Hudson jobs.

For specifying a revision by a tag, I hacked the Mercurial plugin to add an option to pull all revisions before hg update. It is still in my repository but you can try it now.

To use it, install the plugin from the Advanced tab of the Plugin Manager, and in a job configuration, click 'Advanced' and check 'Pull all revisions'. If not checked (the default), the plugin works exactly as previously and don't waste disk space for non-interesting branches.

Thanks Kaz,
I decided to keep using version 1.35 until a new official fix released.
Initially, my only motivation for upgrade was newly added environment variable to get mercurial revision number. For old one I used "hg identify" command. It's not a big deal, so will wait for fix.
