mmmm. I feel like I still haven't gotten mercurial yet, and am still using it inefficiently

How so? (IYDMMA)

[afuna]

*laughs* Dre asked me the same thing. And I guess it's just that, with the exception of MQ, I'm using it as I would SVN (central repository submitting patches to; no real sense of having a separate repository)

[pauamma]

Hmm, yes. But do you have a need for more? Or would using more of it help with your workflow?

[afuna]

I don't know, actually. I figure it should be useful *somehow*, but I also feel like, since I don't understand Mercurial fully, I don't know if there's a better way to do what I'm ucrrently doing.

Does that make sense?

[pauamma]

It does, yes. Offhand, the most obvious thing you could do with Mercurial that you can't do with Subversion is having per-project repos (in addition to Mark's) so that people working together on a project can push and pull patches instead of emailing them to other group members, which doesn't scale very well. Then, the project leader (or a project leader) can push to Mark's repo, or upload to Dreamzilla, or whatever.

*nods thoughtfully* I tried that with the styles team, and that didn't really work out because I didn't handle it right or set it up, or something, and it was difficult to integrate with getting the live site running.

I think I'd like to figure out how we hsould have done it right.
