When a project is started with
mkdir proj
cd proj
hg init
[create some files]
hg add file.txt
hg commit
hg push ssh://me@somewhere.somehost.com/proj
now when hg path is issued, nothing will show. How do we actually change the repository so that it is as if it is cloned from me@somewhere.somehost.com/proj ? Is it just by editing .hg/hgrc and adding
[paths]
default = ssh://me@somewhere.somehost.com/proj
because that feels like too low level an operation to do (by editing a text file)
It’s the only way to do it in this situation. There are plenty of other cases where you have to edit the
hgrcby hand, like setting up hooks or enabling extensions, so it’s not as if it’s unusual.(As you probably already know,
hg clonewill set the path entry in the clone to point back to the original.)
