I guess this is really 2 questions:
hg heads --template 'version {tags}\tbuild {rev}.{node|short}\tcommitted on {date|shortdate}'
Simply putting: update = <above command>
in the [hooks]
section of the hgrc file, doesn't seem to work.
> log.txt
or | log.txt
doesn't work at allI'm sure this is really basic and my command line knowledge is really basic - I just learned all of the above command this morning!
BTW, if it helps, I am running TortoiseHg 2.6.1 with Mercurial 2.4.1
Hooks can be implemented as either external programs, or internal python calls.
i,e you can't write hg COMMAND
directly in [hooks] section, but can write yjis command in shell-script, which in called in hook. Something like
[hooks]
update = updatehook
with updatehook.sh
| updatehook.bat
in PATH (or with full path to script), in which you have as main part
hg heads --template "version {tags}\tbuild {rev}.{node|short}\tcommitted on {date|shortdate}\n" > SOMEPATH/log.txt
(note added \n
at the end of template - for multi-head repository it's needed)
>hg heads --template "version {tags}\tbuild {rev}.{node|short}\tcommitted on {date|shortdate}\n"
