So you would go to https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc-dev and click fork, wait for the fork to complete, then 'hg push ssh://hg at bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev'. I would 'hg pull ssh://hg at bitbucket.org/BarryFSmith/petsc-dev', then 'hg merge'. In git, you would 'git branch barry/private-symbols', 'git push petsc-dev barry/private-symbols'. I would 'git pull petsc-dev barry/private-symbols' and complete the merge. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
