Mercurial and Git

GIt is popular. However, it doesn't always have the best UI. For example, teh Eclipse plugin for Git is.... a work in progress. Fortunately, the MercurialEclipse plugin is a lot better (http://www.javaforge.com/project/HGE

), and can be made to work with Git using the Hg-Git (http://hg－git.github.com/

) plugin for Mercurial. I've done this on a Mac, in particular.

I've also successfully made TortoiseHg (http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/

) clone and push to a Git repository, but at present would recommend TortoiseGit over this indirect use of TortoiseHg.

Mercurial+Git+Windows

In principle it's also possible to have TortoiseHg (http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/

) clone and push to a Git repository, but at present we recommend TortoiseGit over this indirect use of TortoiseHg. That said, a tutorial to do this can be found at: http://jamesmckay.net/2010/06/tortoisehg-as-a-github-client-on-windows/

Note that to make mercurial successfully clone from git+ssh repositories (as opposed to, for example, github), we had to make a copy of TortoiseHg\TortoisePlink.exe called ssh.exe, and ensure this was in the Windows path. You may also want to enable the Hg bookmarks plugin.

One might do this to attempt to make MercurialEclipse work in Windows. Note that we have not yet successfully configured MercurialEclipse+hg-git+Windows and had it perform all functions (clone, synchronize) successfully, so for now recommend using TortoiseGit to do version control separately from Eclipse. That said, if you want to try, a few tips are: In MercurialEclipse you will need to go to Window>Preferences>Team>Mercurial and set the mercurial executable to use TortoiseHg\hg.exe instead of the bundled version.
