My version: 1) cp contrib/remote-hg/git-remote-hg ~/bin Your version? I don't know, but it certainly will be more than one step... may more. >> Compare this: >> 32 files changed, 3351 insertions(+), 289 deletions(-) >> >> To this: >> 1 file changed, 231 insertions(+) > > Yeah, and that's also because of the severe lack of tests. And the lack of > possible code-sharing with other remote helpers. What is there to share? It's 230 lines of code. And share it with which remote helpers? And trying to do so will certainly make it harder to setup. As for the tests, I don't see any tests checking that the import of tags succeeds. Oh, that's right, that is not implemented, so not surprisingly; there are no tests for that. What does a dozen passing tests tell you about the code? Not much. If my code had tests, the test for importing tags would succeed, but I chose to spend my time implementing features, and trying to make them accessible to as many people as possible... rather than writing tests. But fine, lets remove the tests out of the equation (150 lines), the number of lines of code still exceeds 3000.
