When adding or managing a Mercurial repository, you can do the following:
- Define repository details, as described below.
- Set Fisheye's repository options.
Requirements
- Please refer to Supported platforms to see the version of Mercurial that is required by Fisheye. (You should restart Fisheye after upgrading Mercurial.)
- Before you add your Mercurial repositories, you will need to set your executable location for
hg(Mercurial).
On this page:
Mercurial repository setup
