[Monotone-devel] [PATCH] mtn clone

[William Uther]

Hi all,

  Here's another patch.  This one implements mtn clone and some tests.

% ./mtn help clone
[snip]
Options specific to 'mtn clone':

  --branch [ -b ] <arg>    select branch cert for operation
  --exclude <arg>          leave out anything described by its argument
  --revision [ -r ] <arg>  select revision id for operation

     clone ADDRESS[:PORTNUMBER] [DIRECTORY]
       check out a revision from remote database into directory.
       If a revision is given, that's the one that will be checked out.
       Otherwise, it will be the head of the branch supplied.
       If no directory is given, the branch name will be used as  
directory


You can specify --db and it will use that DB rather than making a new  
one.  It currently uses pull internally, so will do anonymous pull  
unless you use -k.

Issues:
  - You must specify a --branch option.  Should I move that to a non- 
option argument?
  - The db is stored as _MTN/mtn.db.  It is stored in _MTN/options  
as an absolute path, so if you move the working copy, it'll lose  
track of the db.
  - It doesn't clean up in some failure situations.  I made it fail  
if the destination dir exists, so it is just a matter of catching any  
failures and removing the directory.  I thought I'd post this much  
first.

Be well,

Will          :-}
