git/mercurial checkin(commit) with every save

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

According to 
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RevisionControlSystem

It is possible for RCS to have a checkin with every save.

HG/Git are a bit different since they require a commit message for each
commit.

Does anybody know about a similar feature for these two VCs?

Regards

RCS is not different from the other VCSes: it also requires a commit log
message for each commit.  What made you think otherwise?

You can write a script or Emacs command to automatically generate a
commit message and commit changes.

I stopped using RCS some 5 years ago and converted almost all these
files to HG. Most of the converted commits have no (or empty) log
messages.

If memory serves me right I used rcs-checkin that does not require log
messages.

Very cool, thanks I will see whether I can modify it to work also with HG.

Or I could use the amend command for this purpose it seems. (Whether
that is a good idea is another question).

Every VCS allows empty log messages.  Not just RCS.

This primitive solution is for the moment enough for me

(defun my-hg-checkin-on-save ()
  "This is a trivial command for commiting on every save!"
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "hg ci -m \"Automatic commit on file save \" "))   

(define-minor-mode hg-auto-commit-mode
  "Automatically commit any changes made when saving with this mode turned on."
  :lighter " AHG"
  (if hg-auto-commit-mode
      (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'my-hg-checkin-on-save t t)
    (remove-hook 'after-save-hook 'my-hg-checkin-on-save t)))

And then at the end of the day I rebase all this commits to a single one.

Of course, if I added files etc, I need a more sophisticated solution.

[Stefan Monnier via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

>   (shell-command "hg ci -m \"Automatic commit on file save \" "))   

This launches a /bin/sh process which then in turn parses the command to
figure out what you asked it to do and then runs `hg` with the
specified arguments.
You can cut the middle man with:

    (call-process "hg" nil nil nil "ci" "-m" "Automatic commit on file save")
