How to run "hg update" via mercurial incoming hook
mercurial-hook
Solution
The FAQ makes this suggestion:
[hooks]
changegroup = hg update
This goes in .hg/hgrc on the remote repository
So, indeed, this is the simple and correct way of doing it. Your example used `incoming`, but that hook runs once for every single changeset. The `changegroup` hook is done once after all changes have been pulled in, so I think it may suit your needs better.
If you end up needing more control, you can create an in-process hook script to fulfill those needs. The Wiki has some good examples.
Problem
What is the correct way of running `hg update` in an incoming hook? Is it: ``` [hooks] incoming.foo = hg update ``` Or this Or is there a more elegant way of doing this?
