Is there an option in Mercurial that allows me to pull all remote bookmarks without having to know their names in advance?
On the Mercurial Bookmarks page it mentions that when I clone a repository, I get all the bookmarks.
However, I’m in the situation where I already have the repository, create a few heads, each with a bookmark explaining what they are, and push all (including the bookmarks) to the server.
When Bob pulls my changes he is going to get all the hanging heads I’ve created and it may be hard to tell which one he is meant to work on.
If he’s going to get lots of hanging heads from my changes anyway, I want him to at least get the bookmarks that go with them so it’s clearer to him what’s going on! (Typically my default branch is my dev branch, which has a ‘dev’ bookmark and numerous other ‘feature’ bookmarks – I don’t want these as branches as they won’t last for long – I want Bob to be able to know straight away which head corresponds to what he wants to work on).
cheers.
hg incoming -Bshows you the remote bookmarks.In hg 2.3 you should automatically get all remote bookmarks on pull.
