1. Intro 

Simple HG notes for working with iarc code using hg.

Installed on my centos 6.4  computer
   #  yum install hg

2. IARC is the owner of Project. He will create a new Repository 

  cd project/       - your project's location
  hg init           - Initialize the repository. But it is empty
  hg add *          - add all files to repository
  hg commit         - commit all changes to the repository

  Now iarc has a working directory and a repository.
  This can modify this working copy.

  When iarc is ready to update his repository with a new version:

  hg diff           - show changes between repository and working copy.
  hg commit         - commit all changes to the repository

  If someone pushes an update to iarc, then iarc need to do:
     hg  update  - updates the repository's working directory

  It's likely, others can't update iarc's repository (permission problems), so
  iarc can pull those update:

     hg pull /home/joe/project  - pulls in changes from joe's repository
     hg update                  - update tony's working copy

2. Tony wants to join in.


    To get a copy of iarc's repository (not the working copy):
        hg clone /home/iarc/project project                  // copy method (can't push update).
		  hg clone ssh://iarc@iarc.ifa.hawaii.edu/src/path     // ssh method  (can push update)

    To re-synhonize a working copy (Update Tony's copy with iarc's repository):
       hg pull           - to sync the repository
       hg update         - to update the working copy

    Tony modify his working directory. Change can be commit
       hg commit -u tony

    To updload changes to iarc's repository:
       hg push

3. Info

   hg  log           - history of repository
   hg  status        - display current status (files that changed).
   hg  diff          - shows changes between repository and working copy.
