Bug ID: 374898
Summary: Missing command line flag "-u" for the pull command.
Product: kdevplatform
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: mercurial
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: frank-fisc...@shadow-soft.de
Target Milestone: ---
The git plugin uses the command "git pull" for implementing the pull method.
This command gets new revisions from remote and updates the working tree
accordingly. In contrast, mercurial's "hg pull" merely fetches remote changes
without updating the working tree. Updating the working tree can be done by
adding the "-u" flag to the pull command. (However, I'm not sure whether the
::pull method is supposed to update the working tree, but I think so).
Actually, "git pull" means "git fetch" plus "git merge FETCH_HEAD", so maybe
it's even better to use "hg fetch", but this is marked as deprecated.
