[Demexp-dev] Python script to convert from tla to mercurial with full history

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

I updated Samuel Tardieu, Ollivier Robert and Thomas Waldmann Python
script that converts a tla repository into a mercurial one. The main
changes are:

 - import full history, even accross branches;

 - modify creation of .hgignore with regexp to avoid import of {arch}
   directory (the glob approach does not seem to work on my config (tla
   1.3, hg 0.8.1)). 

Script can be found at:
  http://www.linux-france.org/~dmentre/misc/tla-to-hg-hist.py

To get the full tla history, I use tla's "ancestry-graph" command. I'm
not sure of its output (no documentation for this command) so there
might be an issue there.

I tested on my own tla repository with tla 1.3 and mercurial 0.8.1 (399
revisions accross 4 or 5 branches) and it seems to work
correctly. However, I have a fairly simple way of working (no multiple
merges between branches) so it might make things simpler.

Many thanks to the original author of the script, it does a quite good
job (I particularly like the import of initial commit date).

Best wishes,
d.

PS: For demexp-dev@ readers, I have used following command:
      ./tla-to-hg-hist.py demexp--dev--0.7 demexp-hg
