[jira] [Closed] (SCM-799) Implement export command

["Peter Hansson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-799?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Peter Hansson closed SCM-799.
-----------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Oh boy. Was I wrong. There's a good reason this doesn't exist:

The [[hg archive}} command does not work on remote repos !

Closing this request.

>             Project: Maven SCM

> Currently the hg provider does not implement the {{export}} command.
> Recap:  The {{export}} command terminology originates from the SVN world. It means to get the sources without the SCM stuff, just sources, nothing else.
> The equivalent in Mercurial world is {{hg archive}}. It was first implemented in 2006 (in version 0.9).
> I don't see a reason why the hg provider would _not_ support the {{export}} command. Sometimes the source is really all you want. Doing an actual {{checkout}} (aka {{hg clone}}) can take a lot more time than {{export}} (aka {{hg archive}}).
