I'm sorry about the delay in my response -- but things have now finally moved forward after Benoit Boissinot (another Mercurial developer) looked at things. With the most recent fixes pushed to the eol repository[1], I can no longer break the tests by running them repeatedly in a loop. In other words, they finally appear to be stable. I feel this would be a good opportunity for people to begin testing the extension again. It seems that people has not done that so far, or at least we haven't gotten any feedback in a long time. It is now easier to test than before since changes to the .hgeol file is picked up immediatedly without it being committed. This means that you can enable eol (in .hg/hgrc, say) and play around *without* affecting others who use the repository. When you change patterns in .hgeol, you'll see the effects in the output of 'hg status' -- files that will be updated on the next commit appear modified. My dissertation is due this Friday(!), so I will not have much time to look at EOL issues this week (as usual). But please give it a spin anyway and let us hear what you think!
