TortoiseHG and WinMerge?
Posted by kimmov on October 23, 2008
In previous post I wrote about Mercurial. And I also mentioned the TortoiseHG as a Windows GUI for Mercurial.
For my embarrassment I have to admit I haven’t checked if WinMerge works with TortoiseHG. As I’ve been using Mercurial from command line I haven’t yet even installed TortoiseHG. I’ve downloaded the installer but haven’t had yet time to install and test it.
We are of course interested in supporting TortoiseHG and integrate with it. For WinMerge this integration means two things:
- WinMerge installer should be able to set WinMerge as TortoiseSVN diff/merge tool. With TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN it means writing some registry values. I assume it is similar thing with TortoiseHG.
- Figure out proper command line that TortoiseHG needs to give for WinMerge. This means starting WinMerge in “tool” mode and perhaps giving revision numbers as description texts etc.
I just submitted a new TODO item about this to our tracker: #2190215 TortoiseHG integration. If we are lucky, the next experimental release will have this integration.
