I just went through a search of 'synch' on the bitbucket bug list and didn't
find this already.
It seems that the synch dialog's pull down list of paths is a unification of
all paths that it has ever seen.
For example in my "User Config" Path tab I might have paths a, b, and c defined.
In my "Repo Config" Path tab for repo R1 I might have d, e, and f defined.
So far, so good.
In my "Repo Config" Path tab for repo R2 I might have g, h and i defined.
So far, not so good.
When I am working in repo R1, the list of paths in the synch dialog pull down
can contain g, h, and i, -if- I have used the synch dialog from repo R2, but
not if I haven't.
We're using repos as branches for some of the stuff at work, and we've had a
few accidents with folks pushing to the wrong repo. I've tracked it down to
this synch cache issue, and would like to see the behaviour changed.
(Note: THg's synch dialog only shows the expanded path value, not the
short-hand alias, which can make it even trickier to easily recognize that
you've picked the wrong path).
In talking this over with an affected co-worker, we both agreed that while this
super-cache of path names might be useful in some limited circumstances (which
we have not experienced), it has been actually harmful in several circumstances
(that we have actually experienced).
I was going to open a bug on this, but thought I should ask about it being
"desired" behaviour (versus just being the way things are by historical
accident/guess-at-what-might-be-useful).
Thanks,
