Problems pushing local code repository to mercurial project on Google Code

I have a project that I want to push to a Mercurial repository on Google Code.

I initialized a Mercurial project locally and checked in the code locally.

The only instructions I can find on the Google Code repository are for cloning:

hg clone https://blahblah.googlecode.com/hg/ blahblah

But I assumed that pushing should be similar.

So I tried:

hg push https://blahblah.googlecode.com/hg/ blahblah

But I got an error saying "invalid arguments".

One of the options it provides is "force push". Is this what I need?

Solution

  • If you are trying to push back a repository that you cloned, try

    hg push

    otherwise try

    hg push https://blahblah.googlecode.com/hg/

    For future reference, here's the usage information from Mercurial's built-in help system:

    $ hg help clone
hg clone [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST]

$ hg help push
hg push [-f] [-r REV]... [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [DEST]

    I think the reason hg push is failing is because you're giving it too many arguments.
