[buckminster-dev] Mercurial plugin

[Phil Borlin <rancidfishbreath@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Mercurial plugin I talked about earlier is working pretty well for
us right now.  I started looking at the Git plugin because it would
seem logical that the two plugins should behave similarly.  In Git it
seems that you specify a local repository and then optionally specify
a remote repository if you want to synchronize.  In the Mercurial
plugin I only allow one repository to be specified and I clone it to a
temp directory if it is a remote repository.

My concern with the way the Git plugin works is that local paths are
platform specific.  If I specify c:\whatever it is not going to work
when I move the rspec file over to a linux box.  Does anyone have any
experience with this?  Is this a non-issue in practice?

Also, what paperwork do I need from my employer if I can convince them
to contribute the code?

Thanks,
Phil
