I know mercurial reasonably well (but I am not a mercurial developer). I
am compiling and running the GNU emacs from the git repository.
As I said I cloned it to mercurial using the git plugin.
This plugin translate the git and the mercurial hash with out problem.
I looked now in the relevant code in version.el
It goes as follows:
#+begin_src elisp :noexport
(defun emacs-repository-version-git (dir)
"Ask git itself for the version information for directory DIR."
(message "Waiting for git...")
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((default-directory (file-name-as-directory dir)))
(and (eq 0
(with-demoted-errors "Error running git rev-parse: %S"
(call-process "git" nil '(t nil) nil "rev-parse" "HEAD")))
(progn (goto-char (point-min))
(looking-at "[0-9a-fA-F]\\{40\\}"))
(match-string 0)))))
(defun emacs-repository-get-version (&optional dir external)
"Try to return as a string the repository revision of the Emacs sources.
The format of the returned string is dependent on the VCS in use.
Value is nil if the sources do not seem to be under version
control, or if we could not determine the revision. Note that
this reports on the current state of the sources, which may not
correspond to the running Emacs.
Optional argument DIR is a directory to use instead of `source-directory'.
Optional argument EXTERNAL is ignored."
(emacs-repository-version-git (or dir source-directory)))
#+end_src
The git command
git rev-parse HEAD
corresponds to the mercurial command
hg parent --template '{node}\n'
I will try to implement the relevant
emacs-repository-version-hg
Command. Not sure what to do with emacs-repository-get-version though.
Maybe I should define a new variable
emacs-use-hg
Which per default is nil.
Not sure
