Re: [eigen] Named branches

I have a job that runs in my Jenkins continuous integration server, set up to clone Eigen over Hg checking for updates hourly. For Hg, I found it easiest to do this semi-manually: the script that runs in case of an update is:

hg pull

hg update

hg bookmark -f hg/default -r default

hg bookmark -f hg/3.0 -r 3.0

hg bookmark -f hg/3.1 -r 3.1

hg bookmark -f hg/2.0 -r 2.0

hg push git+ssh://git@xxxxxxxxxx/vancegroup-mirrors/eigen.git

(Thanks for the reminder - added 3.2...)

This is using hg-git, a pretty common hg extension that is typically used the other direction (so people can use hg to interact with a git repo).

For SVN projects, I use the scripts I've stashed here: https://github..com/rpavlik/jenkins-svn2git This nicely performs a complete mirror of a SVN repo into git.

Ryan, do you have a nice system for keeping the git repo current with
the hg repo? Do you have to do it manually? For tracking svn projects,
I have used the steps here [0], which work for things that aren't
changing a whole lot, but for fast moving projects an automated
approach would be the way to go. I haven't seen a similar approach for
tracking hg projects, though I imagine somebody must have a nice way
to do it.
