Either put a hgrc in the .hg directory in your repo or put a .hgrc (hgrc for Windows) file in your home dir (then it covers all your projects)
In the file you should write 


    [ui]
    username = Your Name &lt;your@mail&gt;

On Windows, these configuration files are read:

    - &quot;&lt;repo&gt;\.hg\hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini&quot;
    - &quot;%HOME%\.hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;%HOME%\Mercurial.ini&quot;
    - &quot;C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini&quot;
    - &quot;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial&quot;
    - &quot;&lt;install-dir&gt;\Mercurial.ini&quot;

On Unix, these files are read:

    - &quot;&lt;repo&gt;/.hg/hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;$HOME/.hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;/etc/mercurial/hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc&quot;
    - &quot;&lt;install-root&gt;/etc/mercurial/hgrc&quot;
    - &quot;&lt;install-root&gt;/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc&quot;


Include the following in one of these files above:

    [ui]
    username = Your Name &lt;your@mail&gt;


Simple answer - in your .hg folder, create a file named .hgrc 
in there, add the following content (check `hg help config` for the exact syntax)

    [ui]
    username = forename surname &lt;forename.surnamce@email.com&gt;
    verbose = True

and save it.  Should work now.  Note that verbose = True is not required, but I included it since it is listed in the help content

(This is from memory, but `hg help config` will tell you the correct filename and syntax)

run **hg config --edit**  ( tested it in *hg 3.1* both on *linux debian* and *windows*)
it will create (if not exists) and open a file with text:
    
    # example config (see &quot;hg help config&quot; for more info)

    [ui]
    # name and email, e.g.
    # username = Jane Doe &lt;jdoe@example.com&gt;
    username = 

    [extensions]
    # uncomment these lines to enable some popular extensions
    # (see &quot;hg help extensions&quot; for more info)
    # pager =
    # progress =
    # color =  

fill &quot;username&quot; field and save the file
  

Make sure that the current user owns the hgrc file or otherwise has correct permissions for it.

I need to delete old and unmaintained branches from our remote repository. I&#39;m trying to find a way with which to list the remote branches by their last modified date, and I can&#39;t.

Is there an easy way to list remote branches this way?

Below is a code snippet, where we retrieve a form value.
Before further processing check if the value is not null..

    var val = document.FileList.hiddenInfo.value;
    alert(&quot;val is &quot; + val);  // this prints null which is as expected
    if (val != null)
    {
       alert(&quot;value is &quot;+val.length); // this returns 4
    }
    else
    {
       alert(&quot;value* is null&quot;);
    }

Any ideas why it happens so.. ??

I am making the effort to learn Vim.

When I paste code into my document from the clipboard, I get extra spaces at the start of each new line:


    line
      line
        line
 

I know you can turn off auto indent but I can&#39;t get it to work because I have some other settings conflicting or something (which look pretty obvious in my .vimrc but don&#39;t seem to matter when I take them out). 

How do I turn off auto indenting when I paste code but still have vim auto indent when I am writing code?  Here is my `.vimrc` file:

    set expandtab  
    set tabstop=2  
    set shiftwidth=2  
    set autoindent  
    set smartindent  
    set bg=dark  
    set nowrap

When using the Spring 3.0 capability to annotate a scheduled task, I would like to set the `fixedDelay` as parameter from my configuration file, instead of hard-wiring it into my task class, like currently...

	@Scheduled(fixedDelay = 5000)
	public void readLog() {
            ...
	}

Unfortunately it seems that with the means of the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) `@Value` returns a String object which in turn is not able to be auto-boxed to a long value as required by the `fixedDelay` parameter.

How to parameterize @Scheduled(fixedDelay) with Spring 3.0 expression language?

I would like to do something like this

    config.default_host = &#39;www.subdomain.example.com&#39;

in some of my configuration files, so that `object_url` helpers (`ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper`) produce links beginning with http://www.subdomain.example.com

I have tried to search the docs but I did not find anything except `ActionMailer` docs and http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Rails/Configuration.html which is not useful for me, because I do not know in which pat to look. Is there a place which describes the whole structure of Rails::Initializer.config?

I found that in hibernate config file we could set up parameter `hibernate.default_schema`:

    &lt;hibernate-configuration&gt; 
       &lt;session-factory&gt;
          ...
          &lt;property name=&quot;hibernate.default_schema&quot;&gt;myschema&lt;/property&gt;
          ...
       &lt;/session-factory&gt;
    &lt;/hibernate-configuration&gt;


Now I&#39;m using JPA and I want to do the same. Otherwise I have to add parameter `schema` to each @Table annotation like:

    @Entity
    @Table (name = &quot;projectcategory&quot;, schema = &quot;SCHEMANAME&quot;)
    public class Category implements Serializable { ... }

As I understand this parameter should be somewhere in this part of configuration:

    &lt;bean id=&quot;domainEntityManagerFactory&quot; class=&quot;org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean&quot;&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;persistenceUnitName&quot; value=&quot;JiraManager&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;dataSource&quot; ref=&quot;domainDataSource&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;jpaVendorAdapter&quot;&gt;
            &lt;bean class=&quot;org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter&quot;&gt;
                &lt;property name=&quot;generateDdl&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;
                &lt;property name=&quot;showSql&quot; value=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;
                &lt;property name=&quot;databasePlatform&quot; value=&quot;${hibernate.dialect}&quot;/&gt;
            &lt;/bean&gt;
        &lt;/property&gt;
    &lt;/bean&gt;

    &lt;bean id=&quot;domainDataSource&quot; class=&quot;com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource&quot; destroy-method=&quot;close&quot;&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;driverClass&quot; value=&quot;${db.driver}&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;jdbcUrl&quot; value=&quot;${datasource.url}&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;user&quot; value=&quot;${datasource.username}&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;password&quot; value=&quot;${datasource.password}&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;initialPoolSize&quot; value=&quot;5&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;minPoolSize&quot; value=&quot;5&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;maxPoolSize&quot; value=&quot;15&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;checkoutTimeout&quot; value=&quot;10000&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;maxStatements&quot; value=&quot;150&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;testConnectionOnCheckin&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;property name=&quot;idleConnectionTestPeriod&quot; value=&quot;50&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/bean&gt;

How to set up default schema name in JPA configuration?

I&#39;ve been using Mercurial for my own personal projects for a while, and I love it.  My employer is considering a switch from CVS to SVN, but I&#39;m wondering whether I should push for Mercurial (or some other DVCS) instead.

One wrinkle with Mercurial is that it seems to be designed around the idea of having a single repository per &quot;project&quot;.  In this organization, there are dozens of different executables, DLLs, and other components in the current CVS repository, hierarchically organized.  There are a lot of generic reusable components, but also some customer-specific components, and customer-specific configurations.  The current build procedures generally get some set of subtrees out of the CVS repository.

If we move from CVS to Mercurial, what is the best way to organize the repository/repositories?  Should we have one huge Mercurial repository containing everything?  If not, how fine-grained should the smaller repositories be?  I think people will find it very annoying if they have to pull and push updates from a lot of different places, but they will also find it annoying if they have to pull/push the entire company codebase.

Anybody have experience with this, or advice?

`hg log -l1|grep changeset|cut -d: -f3`

?

I&#39;m just getting started with Mercurial, and I&#39;ve come across something which I don&#39;t understand.

I made changes to several files, and now I want to undo all the changes I made to one of them (i.e. go back to my last commit for one specific file).

As far as I can see, the command I want is [revert][1].

In the page I linked to, there is the following statement:

&gt; This operation however does not change
&gt; the parent revision of the working
&gt; directory (or revisions in case of an
&gt; uncommitted merge). To undo an
&gt; uncomitted merge, you can use &quot;hg
&gt; update -C -r.&quot; which will reset the
&gt; parents to the first parent.

I don&#39;t understand the difference between the two (`hg revert` vs. `hg update -C -r`). Can anyone enlighten me as to the difference? And in my case, do I really want the revert or the update to go get rid of the changes I made to the file?

Difference between Revert and Update in Mercurial

This is a question that&#39;s been bothering me for a while. I&#39;ve done my homework and checked stackoverflow and found at least these two topics about my question:
[Git for Mercurial like git-svn][1] and
[Git interoperability with a Mercurial repository][2]

I&#39;ve done some serious googling to solve this issue, but so far with no luck. I&#39;ve also read the [Git Internals][3] book, and the [Mercurial Definitive Behind the Scenes][4] to try to figure this out. I&#39;m still a bit puzzled why I haven&#39;t been able to find any suitable git-hg type of a tool. 

From my perspective git-svn is one of the main features, why I&#39;ve chosen to use git over mercurial also at work. It allows me to use a workflow I like, and nobody else needs to bother, if they don&#39;t care. I just don&#39;t see the point in using the intermediate hg repo to convert back and forth, as suggested in one of the chains. 

So anyway, from what I&#39;ve read hg and git seem very similar in conceptual design. There are [differences under the hood][5], but none of those should prevent creating a git client for hg. As it seems to me, remote tracking branches and octopus merges make git even more powerful than hg is. 

So, the real question, is there any real reason why git-hg does not exist (or at least is very hard to find)? 
Is there some animosity from git users (and developers) towards their hg counterparts that has caused the lack of the git-hg tool?
Do any of you have any plans to develop something like this, and go public with it? I could volunteer (although with very feeble C-skills) to participate to get this done. I just don&#39;t possess the full knowledge to start this up myself.

Could this be the tool to end all DVCS wars for good?

Git as mercurial client? Why no git-hg?

I&#39;m using Mercurial locally for a project (it&#39;s the only repo there&#39;s no pushing/pulling to/from anywhere else).

To date it&#39;s got a linear history.  However, the current thing I&#39;m working on I&#39;ve now realized is a terrible approach and I want to go back to the version before I started it and implement it a different way.

I&#39;m a bit confused with the `branch` / `revert` / `update -C` commands in Mercurial.  Basically I want to revert to version 38 (currently on 45) and have my next commits have 38 as a parent and carry on from there.  I don&#39;t care if revisions 39-45 are lost for ever or end up in a dead-end branch of their own.

Which command / set of commands do I need?
