I would not know as I am more of a Bazaar man myself :-)  Always meant to give Hg a spin, but now I am scared.

oh, any non-canonical associated BZR fans around?

I've always noticed it as inferiour comrpomise between hg/git and svn/cvs...

It's also entirely possible my confusion with Mercurial (or at least with TortoiseHg) is self-inflicted... that I'm trying to understand it a little too thoroughly, and if I just got into the swing of things and didn't think about it, everything would be super-simple and spiffy-funshine.

Not a fan, just a fan of Python, as it is likely I could possibly fix it if it broke in the future.

well, this accounts true for HG too ;-)

True Hg is Python, but I found Bzr quite a simple transition from my days using CVS -> Subversion -> Bzr.  Most of the commands just stayed the same (at least until Bzr with repos).

I think my problems involve TortoiseHg's default settings. They automatically push my commits to the remote repository, when I'd rather resolve things locally first.

I may need to investigate this a little further. In the meantime, following some advice I should have ignored, I managed to really fubar the repository after a particularly errant merge.

Maybe, possibly, permissions should be established to prevent me from doing something so dangerous.

I have nothing to say about any of this ... to be totally honest, I was happy with CVS. I was persuaded into SVN and later Git because "that's how we do it now" but all I've ever needed is simple version control...

I hear you IG.  I have found myself re-explaining the ways of the Cederqvist cvs manual to those that could not be bothered with reading that ancient history.

As to the Tortoise gui overlay on Windows Explorer.  I guess I would have to say that I gave up on that back in the days of Win95 as it did unexpected things to me as well.  I did give the Bzr tools and gateway tools to other repositories a try back a few years ago and had some success, but became mostly just a sysadmin after some point.

I found the Bzr add on tools that converted what I knew in Bzr to (whatever repo) to work with my mindset the best.  But from what little I looked, Bzr is probably on the way out compared to the new hotness Git.  Good luck, and post back your findings so others can avoid breaking toes on the rocky bottom bits of the river.

Everything is on its way out except Git and for some reason, Hg.

This TortoiseHg that I'm using is on a Linux system, but still acts oddly.

I'm lead to believe that there are default settings that need to be fixed to make the tool act the way I should expect.

Which is kind of dumb, honestly.

well, the linux experience is not as nice as the windows one (to be honest)

the hg manager which you can open from thg is way to complex at first sight; disabling the mq with it is a good thing to get users used to it, and then once they know enable it.

the hg manager also has a pretty descent visualisation of the patch queues, once you have it.

I like it a lot. git stash is nice, but, the visualisations aren't that nice.

Has anyone ever tried/used the "Duktape" javascript engine? [ http://duktape.org/ ]

It seems to be aimed at being small, portable, and easy to embed, rather than focusing on speed.

As many of you know, I have been looking for such a thing. This appears to be "it" but I'm concerned that it has to be a project that is likely to be around and maintained for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the heads up IG.  Early days indeed, but looks like a fun alternative to firing up a browser or using V8 for Python.

I think a collegue of mine has been taking a look at it, and was pretty fond of its interface.

maybe he will tell me more tomorow.

Fiddling about the V8 api for 2 months now, I think the choice can't be that bad.

ax25: that's fascinating, but what kind of application calls for a scripting language to be embedded into another scripting language? Or are you trying to make use of a library in the other language?

I guess if you've got a build system in python (scons) it makes sense to be able to call jsmins implemented in javascript (which seems to be quiet common nowadays...) without spawning a new process...

IG, much evaluation...  If you want to do much automated stuff on the web (in Python), you need to either run a JS engine (like V8), to get the code working, or something like this lib.  I have not tried it yet, but it looks like it will scratch an itch for me in quite a few ways on some stalled projects that I have shelved due to how messy a process it is to deal with web pages with javascript in them in Python.  If I am wrong, and there is something I am overlooking, I would love to be enlightened!

finaly you have to know that many QA web stuff is done in python (i.e. selenium)

another means for that is phantom js:

I have used selenium, but had not tried PhantomJS.  That sounds like a keeper as well.
