Description kstruk 2010-11-04 16:34:34 UTC
I can not understand something...
I am using svn at work, svn project context menu looks like the team svn menu.
Why the project context menu is very different from the team menu for mercurial?

Sorry, i don't understand at all what you mean. Could you be more specific? You could probably demonstrate  your problem with a screenshot.
The issue summary says something different from what you state in your comment. What differs? File's annotations in tabs (that's what i understood from the summary)? Or the actions in the context and main menu?
If the latter (the actions in menus), what does this has to do with svn?

Anyway, to your last question:
> Why the project context menu is very different from the team menu for mercurial?
Because:
1) there is not enough space to have all actions in the context menu
2) some actions from the main menu are related to the whole repository and it makes no sense to have them available also from the context menu on a file.

What are you missing in the context menu?

BTW, in subversion there are also several actions missing in the context menu.

//there is not enough space to have all actions in the context menu
I doubt that there is not enough space. svn has 16 actions, hg has only 7 actions.

//What are you missing in the context menu?

clone, merge, update, share

//BTW, in subversion there are also several actions missing in the context menu.
but they have everything you need in everyday use, and what can be done with hg context menu? commit, revert.. this is not enough.

over the past 2 years work in NB with svn, I've never used team menu. I did not think that there is a difference between them.

6 months ago, I began to use mercurial for some projects. looking to the context menu, I thought that the NB does not fully support it. I had to use the console. Recently happened to see a screenshot of the menu in the article about using mercurial in NB and realized that something I do not know.

clone? i don't think so, how many times a day do you run a hg clone?
merge, update - maybe, we'll consider it
share - already there (not sure if already in 6.9, but definitely in 7.0)
