And that's not confusing? > Making them in one changeset means the same sources, but no changeset > identifying it as jdk7-b98 or ea. The "missing tag" is a limitation that's mentioned in the mercurial book: whenever you "hg clone -r tag" the newly-created repo doesn't include the tag you requested. However, if you "hg update -r tag" (likely my preferred method), the tag is visible. With either scheme (one changeset or different changesets), if you want to verify that "ea" and "jdk7-b98" are the same thing, you can't do it in the clone, you have to go to the original repo. It's just more tedious to do when the two names refer to different changesets. > Also, 'hg tag -f' was used to force the replacement of any older tags > with the same name that might exist. Not sure your script deal with that. That's part of the "error checking and polish" that I conveniently left out :-). The script is a hack to workaround "hg tag" not accepting multiple tag names. I'd prefer to fix hg tag, but can't do that yet. > Not sure it matters a great deal either way. The moon won't fall out of the sky. But I think it's less confusing if different names for the same thing actually refer to the, um, same thing. -John > John Coomes wrote: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > >> Changeset: 38b77760d8e2 > >> Author: xdono > >> Date: 2007-11-15 17:12 -0800 > >> URL: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/MASTER/hotspot/rev/38b77760d8e2 > >> > >> Added tag jdk7-b98 for changeset 280051e520a0 > >> > >> + .hgtags > >> > >> Changeset: de9a59a5e8da > >> Author: xdono > >> Date: 2007-11-15 17:21 -0800 > >> URL: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/MASTER/hotspot/rev/de9a59a5e8da > >> > >> Added tag ea for changeset 38b77760d8e2 > >> > >> ! .hgtags > > > > In this case, the tags represent the same thing, but they refer to > > different changesets.
