One way to add a patch file to the MCL repository.

Introduction

This page assumes that you have installed Mercurial.

Details

You may want to start by cloning the current mcl code repository into a new mcl directory:

$ hg clone https://mcl.googlecode.com/hg/ mcl

Change the current directory to the newly created one:

$ cd mcl/Patches

Copy your patch.lisp to the Patches directory in the local repository, either using drag-and-drop, or from the command line:

$ cp /path/to/patch.lisp .

Notify Mercurial that you have added the file:

$ hg add patch.lisp

Next, commit the change:

$ hg commit --message "new patch" --user "Your name <user@domain.com>" 

Next, push the changes to the main repository:

$ hg push https://username:gcpasswd@mcl.googlecode.com/hg/

Substitute the google username and gcpasswd with your own. Note that an eventual @ in the googlecode username should be encoded as %40 (single %) to distinguish it from the separator between the username and the password.
