Hi all:
As I was re-applying my changes against the actual hg.rpm.org, I got to
thinking: what's the best way to propose or receive feedback to a change
with mercurial?
From what I can see, there is:
* hg export, to make a plaintext patch
* hg bundle, to make a binary(?) changeset file
* publishing your hg branch somewhere on the Internet
What do people prefer? I'm starting to doubt pointing someone at an
entire branch, as it might end up being something like "check out
changes x through y in my branch for feature z", though I guess using
more branches would help with that.
