    <p>Thanks for summary, makes it much easier to answer!</p> <blockquote> <p>What is the simplest (and best) way to shift a group of files from an existing repository to a new sub repository, so those files can be integrated with other parent repositories, some of which may not yet exist?</p> </blockquote> <p>You can use the <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ConvertExtension" rel="nofollow">convert extension</a> to extract a directory from an existing Mercurial repository. You'll want to use the <code>--filemap</code> flag and in the filemap you include the directory you want and rename it to the root. See <code>hg help convert</code> for more info.</p> <p>After you get a smaller repository with the </p> <blockquote> <p>Do files in subrepositories need to be in discrete folders, or can they exist alongside other files?</p> </blockquote> <p>They must be in their own folders. This is simply because that's how a repository looks like in Mercurial, Git, Subversion, ... When you're dealing with <a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository" rel="nofollow">subrepositories</a>, then Mercurial is not tracking the files inside the subrepo: it's just asking some (other) system to make a checkout of repository <code>foo</code> at some location.</p> <p>So when your <code>.hgsub</code> file has</p> <pre><code>foo = foo bar = [git]bar baz = [svn]baz </code></pre> <p>then Mercurial will notice this on <code>hg update</code> and run</p> <pre><code>hg clone default-path-of-this-repo/foo foo git clone default-path-of-this-repo/bar bar svn checkout default-path-of-this-repo/baz baz </code></pre> <p>for your. This explains why subrepostories are directories in the outer repository: that's simply what a clone/checkout looks like these days.</p> <p>As you can see, subrepositories can be of different types. It's conceivable that someone could add a RCS subrepository type for tracking individual files. They would then not have to live in a directory.</p>

    1. COnot sure if this warrants a whole new question, but your comments above raise an interesting side question: some of my third party code is in folders i downloaded a while ago from opensource efforts on github. is it possible to have mercurial "know" about those git server urls (and revisions), so i can then have mercurial clone it direct from there when i clone the parent repos? (rather than just have them as mercurial sub repos that happen to contain files that are also stored on github) if you prefer i can ask it as another question and link to it here

    3. COahh.. should have googled it myself... i just discovered this http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository?action=show&redirect=subrepos#Git_subrepositories which i think answers my question. i will leave it there for anyone who come searching, and will ask anyway, as it does not seem to have been asked before.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
