Question

I have a team repo setup in our LAN, and it’s group writable so everyone can freely push.

(Note: the repo is purely for experimentation so I don’t want any limit/check on push.)

Now I want to use the notify extension to send email whenever a push happens. It works fine with my own push, but it does not work for others unless they trust my user, otherwise their hg push doesn’t read the repo’s hgrc, thus no notification.

I don’t want to force everyone to blindly trust me (because I could then easily use a hook/extension to steal their bank accounts–evil grin). Is there any alternative?

Answer 1

(They say that describing a problem to others usually helps solving it yourself. Just happened again.)

The trivial solution is to add the relevant notify config items to the other team members’s user hgrc.
