Ours is a superset of Mercurial's. I plan to back-port the differences to Mercurial, but it requires major hacking in extdiff and it hasn't risen to the top of my TODO list. I'm holding out faint hope that some Mercurial hacker will get addicted to the improvements in thg 0.10 and back port them to extdiff for me. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list Tortoisehg-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
