Can I allow_push on individual repositories using hgweb.config

In hgweb.config, the allow_push parameter applies to all defined repos defined in the [paths] section. Is there a way to allow push on one repo but not in another, or would I need to actually create completely separate configurations (and corresponding web apps) per repo then? (In case it matters, it's on Windows with hgweb hosted in IIS).

Solution

  • You can define individual push rules per repo in repo\.hg\hgrc file like so:

    [web]
allow_push = *

    to allow push to everyone or

    [web]
allow_push = John

    to allow push to John only

    If you can't find the hgrc file in repo\.hg\ directory, just create it.
