So reading the thread about the conversion and the dev guide at
http://potrou.net/hgdevguide/ there seems to not be a list of
recommended extensions that the python devs should have and use, only
a few examples of their use. so I figured I would build up a list for
other people to add to / comment on
File Format Management
eol
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/EolExtension
required
flake8
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/
recommended especially for new commiters as it will validate
pep8 compliance and check for common errors
*Maybe update it to do pep7 compliance checks on the c files as well?
Patch Management
mq
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension
This is the one the devguide uses in examples
rebase
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RebaseExtension
used with the --collapse option it is very easy to build up a
patch patch with incremental commits, but discard the private history
of the developer
This one makes more sense to me personally then mq and fits
how my standard workflow goes better
shelve
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ShelveExtension
Store un commited changes away so they dont affect generation
of the patch
transplant
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TransplantExtension
required to port patches between major versions
record
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RecordExtension
Allows cherry picking of commits to build a patch, Also works with mq
Crecord
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CrecordExtension
appears to be a c optimized version or record
Branch Management
bookmarks
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BookmarksExtension
Great for tracking bug fix work without needing to create a
separate working directory
recommended that the central repo NOT have the extension
enabled so as to ensure bookmarks are a local only tracking system
