This is a common question I know, but I want to take it to the next level, I know how to use bundles, but is kind of boring having to dig trough the “hg log” to see my last changes, so I want to make it automatic, checking my log trough bash/awk and identifying work/home changes trough date and mail, (I have diferent mails in .hgrc, me@work and me@home).

I already have this bash function but I have to pass the base revision manually:

hgb () {
    hg bundle --base $1 ~/changes-`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M`.hg
}

So I would like something like:

mkwbundle #make work bundle for home

and:

mkhbundle #make home bundle for work

I’m just beginning at awk/sed but I’ve seen miracles, I ask before doing it with Python which is my goto tool for almost anything.

Update:

For mercurial agnostic people, this is how hg log looks like:

I want to get the base revision when in work to make a bundle, let’s say I started working in rev 24 at home and made 4 changes, then I’m in 28, I want to get 24 as base rev and make a bundle, then the same at work.

EDIT: per @dhunter comment below, the expected output of the script would be:

24

    Revset version for hg bundle --base REV type of command

    Used: revsets, revsets aliases

    Task in a verbal form: find latest changeset, after which to tip changesets continuously created by another author, than sought-for changeset

    Solution:

    Iteration 1

    max(user('work')) for bundle with changesets, intended to be transferred to work (all after latest “work” is homework)

    max(user('home')) for bundle with changesets, intended to be transferred to home (all after latest “home” is workplacework)

    Iteration 2

    Compacting and beautification: I’m too lazy for too much typing. Bundleable() function-name shortened to ba() and added to in the “revsetalias” section of a Mercurial configuration file for home and work repos

     [revsetalias]
 ba('$1') = max(user('$1'))

    (‘$1’ instead of $1 used in order to don’t write ” around parameter – signal string – by hand)

    Results

    hg bundle --base "ba(home)" or hg bundle --base "ba(work)"

    home|work define destination, for which bundle have to be prepared
