  1. POMaintaining product isolation within multiple repositories with Mercurial
    text
    copied!<p>We have a large site that runs CodeIgniter that we're currently in the process of outlining a better Mercurial setup then what we have now. Our thinking right now is that with the following repo setup we will merge multiple products into an <code>alpha</code> environment. Once it's approved by sales it'll go into <code>uat</code> for customer approval.</p> <pre><code> [LIVE] | [UAT] | [ALPHA] / | \ [PRODUCT1] [PRODUCT2] [PRODUCT3] </code></pre> <p>Our concern is how to handle the situation where <code>product1</code> and <code>product2</code> have both merged in <code>alpha</code> and made it to <code>uat</code>, but <code>product2</code> needs to be removed from <code>uat</code> because the customer has found issues that need to be resolved, but <code>product</code> still needs to go LIVE. This is a problem because based on our understanding of Mercurial it's not quite built to split off a product or remove a specific tree of changesets.</p> <p>Any ideas on how this can be accomplished in a simple manner? Is Mercurial the right solution or is there something else we should look into? Have you run into this scenario, what did you do?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I've been reading up on Bookmarks. With them being carried with pulls/pushes it possible to use Bookmarks to track versions such as <code>product1 v1.4.21</code> to control which versions of products are included within these multiple repositories?</p> <p>Bookmarks don't seem like the best solution, because it still doesn't allow for me to remove the changesets from <code>product2</code> within the <code>alpha</code> repository, leaving only <code>product1</code> within the <code>alpha</code> repository.</p>
