问题
at one point I committed large files to my hg repository, I later did a hg forget
on these files, but now my repository is quite big and on every new clone it takes ages as these files are still being pulled down as part of the history.
I am using this SO post to try and convert
my repository into a repository that doesn't know of the large files. I am doing the following
assume my repository has the following structure:
~/workspace/
project/
data/
large_file.txt
src/
...
I am doing the following
cd workspace/project
echo data/large_file.txt >> /tmp/myfilemap
hg convert --filemap ~/workspace/project ~/workspace/new_repo
However the new_repo
just appears to be empty.
Am I doing something wrong?
回答1:
The convert action operates within the working directory so you probably don't want to start the operation from in there.
The command format is as follows:
hg convert --filemap filemap_path SourceRepoPath TargetRepoPath
You can use relative paths, but put the filemap outside the repos.
Your filemap contents should be formatted like so:
exclude "data/large_file.txt"
