Bug 237818 – dev-util/{mercurial-1.0.1-r3,git-1.6.0.1} - hg convert -> "git tool not found"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description thierry volpiatto 2008-09-16 08:46:40 UTC]

Hi, hg convert don't work with the very last revision of mercurial and git.
however it work fine with the last version of mercurial (1.O.1-r3) and the
non keyworded git version (1.5.6.4)
So i think the bug come from git.
Thank you.
Thierry.

In what way doesn't it work? What command is giving you what error messages? What files get altered in the wrong way?

>In what way doesn't it work? What command is giving you what error messages?

The command is :

,----
| hg convert /project-git /project-hg
`----

(The default is converting to an hg repo.)

Error is (non textual): git tool not found
I can't reproduce right now, i am working on git and hg.

To reproduce just try to convert one of your git project to an hg project
with the last keyworded mercurial and git (hg:1.0.1-r3 ; git:1.6.0.1)

Then do the same with hg:1.0.1-r3 and git 1.5.64 ==> it's working fine.

>What files get altered in the wrong way?

No one, just don't start converting because git tool not found.

[Comment 3 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) 2008-09-19 02:07:08 UTC]

This should be fixed by mercurial-1.0.2. Please test and report back!

From the mercurial 1.0.2 Changelog:
"Extensions: convert: 
    git: allow converter to work with recent git releases"

[Comment 4 thierry volpiatto 2008-09-19 12:12:18 UTC]

Hi,
Thank you, git-version-1.6.0.1 + mercurial-version-1.0.2
work fine with hg convert ==> git to hg.

I think this can be resolved?
