New Mercurial extension: Bitbucket Extension
If you’ve ever used Bazaar, you know that one of its features is a shorthand URL scheme for referring to Bazaar repositories on Launchpad. For example, to clone Sparkle’s main repository:
% bzr clone lp:sparkle
I’ve created an extension that enables you to do the same thing in Mercurial with Bitbucket repositories.
% hg clone bb://boredzo/bitbucketextension
The Bitbucket extension adds two URL schemes: bb:, and bb+ssh:. The bb: scheme communicates with Bitbucket over HTTPS; you can guess what bb+ssh does.
(Note: As of Mercurial 1.0.2, you must include the double-slash, because hg pull will interpret the URL as a relative path without it.)
