I have a repo in my VCS called CodingStandards. In it is a checkstyle.xml file along with findbugs.xml and it will no doubt grow in the future.

What I want to do is in my project FunkyApp is pull CodingStandards into the project and maintain the link to CodingStandards so that if I change it, I can pull & update in my FunkyApp.

    First of all setup the CodingStandards repo in .hg/hgrc to make life easier

    [paths]
default = https://url/FunkyApp
standards = https://url/CodingStandards

    Then you can force pull into your repository

    hg pull -f standards

    This will create two heads in your repo that need to be merged with hg merge and then committed into your main repo.

    To be clear CodingStandards will be unchanged. FunkyApp will have all the files from CodingStandards imported in it. Anyone else who clones FunkyApp will get the files without knowing about CodingStandards.
