How can I get the changes from a “master” repository in mercurial for a project hosted on google code?

Question

I create a "server" clone from a project hosted at code.google.com. I create a clone from that repository in my machine and push some changes; everything goes well.

Now the master repository has some changes and I want to pull them. How do I get my "server" clone updated with those changes?

Answer 1

hg pull -u google_code_url

The -u means automatically update your working copy. You can set (if it's not already there) a default URL in the .hg/hgrc file:

[paths]
default = pull_url
default-push = push_url

Then, you can just do:

hg push
hg pull -u

Of course, you can still specify a different location manually.
