MercurialFAQ
Frequently asked questions about Mercurial.
Mercurial Mercurial FAQWhy do I get "HTTP Error 405: Method Not Allowed" from the Mercurial client?$ hg push pushing to http://... searching for changes abort: HTTP Error 405: Method Not Allowed You must push over https rather than http, e.g. hg push https://code.google.com/p/MYREPO. If you clone via https initially, then a plain hg push will work. To fix this if you already cloned via http, edit .hg/hgrc and change the path there. How can I avoid typing my password in for each hg push?You can enter a default push URL in your hgrc configuration file, and include the username and password in the URL. The Mercurial FAQ has an entry on this. If you do this, make sure your hgrc isn't readable by others! Why isn't my username/password accepted?If you enter your username as part of the URL, you have to encode the "@" sign as "%40" to avoid confusing Mercurial. If you're on windows, % is an escape character in the command prompt, so you have to encode the "@" sign as "%%40". The above instructions are only relevant to non-gmail users; gmail users can use the username part of their email address, the part preceding the "@" sign, as their Google Code username. How do I reset my repository?Project owners can click the "reset" link at the bottom of the checkout page. This is useful if you accidentally committed sensitive information to the repository or if you want to push from an unrelated repository. How do I remove sensitive information from my repository?There is no way to change the contents of a revision without changing the identifier of that revision and all subsequent ones. So you can't silently change history; the best you can do is convince other project participants to forget about the old revisions and accept your replacement revisions. With those caveats stated, the basic process is to prepare a new repository locally, reset the repository on Google Code, and push your new repository. The following external pages give some pointers on how to prepare a local repository that eliminates a given sensitive revision or file:
Why should I create a server-side clone?Personal user clones are a copy of a project's repository and can be created by anyone that wants to contribute to a project. They are particularly useful because they do not require the project owner's permission, but confer the same abilities that owners have over the project's repository (e.g. commit, push, etc.). Personal user clones are also useful for publishing changes to a public location and sharing them with other developers, before they are committed to the main project's repository. Once changes in a user clone have been reviewed, they are usually merged back into the mainline project with the aid of the canonical project's contributors. User clones aren't forks, in the traditional sense, where a fork has little intention to contribute back to the original project. Rather, the entire purpose of a user clone is to allow users to contribute to projects without requiring official commit access permissions. Because mercurial is a distributed (peer-to-peer) version control system, it excels at branching and merging. If the project maintainers like the new code, they just "pull" the changesets from the clone and merge them into an official project repository. It's all much more elegant than emailing patches back and forth, anonymous contributors get to use the same tools as core developers. | |

Why am I getting an Authorization failed when trying to push to mercurial via https? I am using my gmail username and pw
fccoelho, you need to use the generated password googlecode provides you, not your gmail password. you're googlecode password is under your profile on the settings tab.
Can anyone tell me where can I request that my mercurial repository is reset to a clean state (without any checkins)? I've made a mistake in importing the repository and I'd like to make it right. Thanks!
@padcom:
navigate to: http://code.google.com/p/<YOUR_PROJECT>/source/browse/
at the bottom of that page, you will see this sentence: You can reset this repository so that hg push can be used to upload from a different repository.
Click the "reset this repository" bit, answer an trivial question, and voila.
Why do I get this error when pushing through https: 'abort: error: software caused connection abort'?
>>Comment by TongShen?.Martin, Sep 13, 2009 >>Why do I get this error when pushing through https: 'abort: error: software caused connection abort'?
I have same error using Vectrace Mercurial Eclipse.
Recently we made a short 4-min video to show the basics of working with Mercurial repositories on Google Code, using Eclipse. It demonstrates cloning repos, making changes, committing them and then pushing the change sets up to Google Code.
The video is available in HD here: http://blogs.intland.com/main/entry/39
I try commit using my victor.perez@e-evolution.com account from my google domains but I get follow error
Pushing to https://victor.perez%40e-evolution.com:***@adempiere.googlecode.com/hg/
searching for changes about: authorization failed , error code : 255
kind regards Victor Perez
Why does it take an extremely long time (around 10 mins) for the authentication prompt to appear when pushing changes?
Strange... Not only was I never prompted for a UN/PW... But the repository downloaded just fine. Even though it said it was uploading my clone to the server, there appears to be no record of me in the Google Code repository.
The 'reset this repository' link described above no longer exists. It is no longer required.
To push your existing local Mercurial repository (including project history) into a newly-created googlecode Mercurial repository:
"This revision affected a large number of files. Only a subset of 50 changed paths are being shown. To see all changed paths, use the svn log command-line."
Is displayed on a large changeset. We are using mercurial.
How can i add commiter users for a clone project ? Is it possible?
If I would like to have branches for different releases of my software, what is the suggested way on google code's mercurial repo? If I had my own, I guess I would try to create seperate repo for every release, but here I can't do that. What should I do?
Why I got "abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" after entering user name and password
gruszczy, you should use Mercurial’s branches: hg branch
I get this error abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
403 error comes because of wrong password. The password you give in hg is not same as your gmail password. Read the complete thing here http://mightydreams.blogspot.com/2010/12/project-hosting-with-google-code.html
please go to url:https://code.google.com/hosting/settings, then you will find the password.
If you want Mercurial to accept your google un/pw, you need to click on Profile -> Settings and then check the box for "Accept @gmail.com" Google Account password when using a Mercurial client. This fixed the 403 error for me :)
Cloning works fine for me, but pushing seems to always timeout.
BTW using '%40' on the URL no longer works - you should use '@' just like a normal URL.
How to remove a clone?
Can I contribute to a clone of someone else?
I have write access to the main repository but I am getting HTTP Error 403: Forbidden for the clone of a colleague. I am using a correct username/password.
I am getting 403 error and I am using https:// I am sure the 's' is there, why do I get 403 error?
Thanks
EDIT: I did use the password I found here:
https://code.google.com/hosting/settings
Dear all,
% hg clone --verbose https://Acer.King.Wei@layout.biographer.googlecode.com/hg/ biographer-layout -- . abort: layout.biographer.googlecode.com certificate error: certificate is for .googlecode.com, googlecode.com, .codespot.com, .googlesource.com, googlesource.com (use --insecure to connect insecurely) returned code 255 Tue May 17 21:17:08 2011?
Why I can't add comments a prsonal clone (where I not owner)? It's is not useful.
@Acer.Kin... You can't make an clone of any hg repository which has more than one subdomain on Google Code because their certificate only covers one subdomain (one.googlecode.com), not (two.one.googlecode.com) etc.
This also breaks the wiki hg repositories on Google Code. There is an open issue for it on Google Code's issue list.
Speaking of MercurialFAQ#How_can_I_avoid_typing_my_password_in_for_each_hg_push_? — why didn't anyone mentioned keyring extension?
what that mensage "aviso: o certificado code.google.com com impressão digital d2:33:75:af:62:64:5b:75:dc:3f:bf:22:30:b6:27:13:ff:3f:90:fd não foi verificado (verifique as opções de configuração hostfingerprints e web.cacerts)"?
pushing to https://htamme:***@code.google.com/p/kindred searching for changes abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
I use the password I found here: https://code.google.com/hosting/settings
I can push if I add password manually.
My hgrc file:

Why do I keep receiving "abort: error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" when trying to get a local copy by "hg clone https://huang.cong@code.google.com/r/huangcong-html5wow-repo/".
Thanks
