K, good stuff! I'll use what you and Boris came up with and integrate to mine (will help speed things up) the other project :) and for the other thing, great idea (i think). what do you mean by "web repository"? do you mean reproduce from the code behind a live web2py server instance? which would be a grand idea! if that's what you mean. I would doable if a well kept manifest (generated through automation on "pull") describing in xml format file names (path) and rev # be installed long with web2py. then a simple xmlrpc meg over https should get you a nice xml file wich can be used to resolve the variables used in a hg pull cmd. (at least that's what I'd do to start) - I do something like that to get build automation to talk to the bug tracking system (keeps QA happy with reports like "build X contains THIS list of bug fixes as described in THIS list of changelist description, which contains THIS list of affected files, which was checked in by THIS user, and reviewd by etc...."
But, please let me know if I got the requirement all wrong, and I'll be happy to suggest another approach. For the diff requirement: I would definitely start fro the bottom up. This is what I do currently do with Perforce (logic should be similar). 1) I generate an XML representation of a directory structure (where I need to be able to specify any folder within my dir structure as the "root" folder (the starting point), and need to be able to exclude files and/folders as params to the function call. 2) once I have my xml object (I like a well structured Element Tree for this type of thing), I will simply pass the elements (in a loop) to a function that will have the know-how to return a correct mapping between repository and workspace (i think Mercurial calls this the Working Directory). 3) diff the file, capture the diff (if any) store it (keeping the the return strings in order is important, so I keep each return values as a dictionary within warm brackets of a collection that respects order (like a deque()). once done and have gone through the the complete fileset, then it just depends on how fancy we want to be (color, special indentation, format to 2 pages, etc..._) or the complete returned values can be formatted and handed to araxis (or something like that)... in the .hg word, its a little more convoluted in that I believe another repository needs to be created and changes pulled from the from the revision you are interested in (can be any revision or "latest" but it does need to be specified. Would look something like this: mkdir myTempDir cd myTempDir hg init hg pull myTempDir hg update -r N then do that recursive diff as discussed above is this what you were looking for?
