annotate README @ 45:ce00e6ffaa90

Change the implementation of the ra_session stuff. Thanks to Ben Collins-Sussman for pointing out the problem with the other method I was using. Note: this may appear to break commits over certain ra layers. Those layers were probably not working properly anyway.

15 You need a recent Mercurial. At present, the required memctx code is in mercurial_, crew_, and crew-stable_, but not mercurial-stable. Install Mercurial from one of mercurial or the crew repos if you have not already. Personally, I use crew_. Note that if you have Subversion 1.4, most functionality will probably work, but pushing and using replay (faster than diff) do not, so you should consider upgrading your Subversion installation or wait for the ctypes bindings to be supported.

21 If you are unfamiliar with installing Mercurial extensions, please see the UsingExtensions_ page in the Mercurial wiki. Look at the example for specifying an absolute path near the bottom of the page. You want to give the path to the top level of your clone of this repository.

25 Before using hgsubversion, I *strongly* encourage you to run the automated tests. Just use nose_ if you have it (or ``easy_install nose`` if you want it), or use ``python tests/run.py`` to run the suite with the conventional test runner. Note that because I use nose, there's a lot of stdout spew in the tests right now. The important part is that all the tests pass.
