How to add hooks for Mercurial MQ commands?

I would like to setup hg hooks for some actions done by mq extension. For example when I do 

hg qnew

I would like to use post-review to create a new review request in our reviewboard server. I would also like to make a hook that updates the diff if you do 

hg qrefresh

Is this possible?

Solution

  • All Mercurial commands have both a pre-XXX and post-XXX hook. So you can write write hooks like:

    [hooks]
post-qnew.reviewboard = post-review $(hg root)/.hg/patches/$(hg qtip)
post-qrefresh.reviewboard = post-review $(hg root)/.hg/patches/$(hg qtip)

    or whatever the correct post-review invocation is.

    All examples approximate. :)
