I’m trying to download the source code for a large open source project, so I can look at it.
It says to do:
hg clone http://server/path
However, this is taking forever (I’m assuming because it’s a large project). I don’t really care about the changesets; I just want the head, and I’m not going to be committing anything.
Is there any way I can just that, without everything else?
Often, when you just point your browser to the repository URL, you can grab a tarball of any revision you like, inluding head. This feature has to be enabled on the server side, though.
