Well to work with collaborators who don't gasp (or better who don't want to gasp) the problem of merging. So every time they push and they get the famous ,---- | remote has heads on branch 'default' that are not known locally: 46bbefa0d331 | abort: push creates new remote head 7efcd9b8376c! | (pull and merge or see 'hg help push' for details about pushing new heads) `---- They freak out, and claim that a dropbox solution is much simpler (since editing or merging conflict are there but not noticed, which is a great self delusion ;-) So I thought 1. Explaining merge 2. Recommending hg fetch 3. Using named branches 4. Using bookmarks 5. Using hg push -f Then I thought let them copy their changes to dropbox, and try to sort out the mess they will create, but then it is not worth the effort. I think I will 1) give again a try, if not 5), (and I sort out the mess)
