Introduction

If you are building software and want to release that software at regular intervals then why not tag each release in Mercurial? That way you can very easily rollback to that version of the software at any time. Whats more is that you can use your own tags rather than trying to remember the mercurial revision number that was current at the time of release.

There are many approaches to software versioning which will not be covered here. Check out this wikipedia article on software versioning for more details on the different approaches. The purpose of this article is to apply the versioning as a tag in your mercurial repository.

Apply a tag in mercurial

When using mercurial, you must always tag after a commit. So if you know that you want to tag your current working directory, you must commit it first and then tag it. Given this it obviously makes it very easy to tag a commit that you might have made a long time ago in the past. Bear this in mind when using the tag command in mercurial and you will understand clearly how this feature can be used.

This is how you would tag a revision in a mercurial repository, first decide what revision you want to tag and then run the following command. In this example it will tag revision number 45 with “2.0.5″

hg tag -r 45 2.0.5

This command automatically commits this tag, so if you run “hg tip” in your terminal, you will see something like the following:

changeset:   51:209937087918
tag:         tip
user:        Darren Jensen
date:        Sun Nov 22 13:10:47 2009
summary:     Added tag 2.0.5 for changeset b50b86512aac

Note that the changeset for “tip” is 51:209937087918 and the comment is “Added tag 2.0.5 for changeset b50b86512aac” (this comment is also added automatically by mercurial by the way). Given that I asked mercurial to apply the tag to revision 45, you can easily see that it is a commit made a while ago. The changeset indicated in the comment (“b50b86512aac”) does indeed refer to revision 45.

Use a tag in mercurial

So how to use this tag going forward? Here are a couple of ideas.

Use it to see the commit info at that time using the log command as follows:

hg log -r 2.0.5

This will return the log entry that is associated with that tag, so in our example it would return the entry for changeset 45:b50b86512aac, as follows:

changeset:   45:b50b86512aac
tag:         2.0.5
user:        A Developer
date:        Tue Jul 21 14:27:50 2009
summary:     Made some serious changes to the application and deployed it to production

Use it to clone the repository to the tag point (note that the tag itself would not be included since that is added after this point). So if you do a “hg tip” on this cloned repository, then your would see the log entry for changeset 45 but the tag and the changeset that commit the tag will not be there (changeset 45 will have the tag “tip” in this case!).

hg clone -r 2.0.5 somerepo

Check out the Mercurial wiki for more details regarding tagging in mercurial, including how to deal with tagging conflicts, local tags (as opposed to “regular” tags which is covered in this article), removing tags and more.

Test.

Every week, Saturday that is, I will post my favorite item spotted in stores around Cairo. It can be a shoe we all lust over, a bag we can snag, just a jacket, a stylish skirt, a do-it-all dress, jagged jewelry, or nifty nail polish.  Hope you enjoy!

Christian Louboutin Lace & Suede Booties

I have been lusting over these Louboutin booties since September; hence, being my 1st Item of the Week.  Need I say much about Louboutin other than he has, by far, kicked Manolo Blahnik out of the race more than 3 years ago.  His designs are feminine yet trendy, stylish and breathtaking.  These elegant lace and suede booties will be the statement of any outfit, but come with a hefty price tag.  I love how they are reminiscent of boots worn 1800’s and can still be worn in 2010!  Found at Beymen, Four Seasons Nile Plaza.

A girl’s shoe should always be a source of admiration for the other girl who isn’t wearing them!

Since Fiasco ruined our first invasion, we will make them suffer.. Now we will fight and not leave the battle. Pack your bags boys.

Forsman og Bodenfors tager almindelige Facebook redskaber og gør dem til et salgsfremmende redskab, ved åbningen af IKEAs nye butik i Malmø, Sverige.

Reklame Bureauet Forsman & Bodenfors lavede en anderledes og innovativ digital kampagne for IKEA, ved at tage en af Facebook’s grundlæggende funktioner med som et salgsfremmende redskab, til at fremme kendskabet til åbningen af IKEAs nye fyrtårn i en forstad til Malmo – den hidtil mest moderne butik til dato.

Bevæbnet med et lille mediebudget, kom bureauet op med denne utraditionelle Facebook kampagne. Det startede med en profil af butikken manager, Gordon Gustavsson. Gustavsson fik uploadet billeder af forretningens showrooms til hans fotoalbum og dem af  hans “venner”, som FØRST mærkede/taggede produkterne på billederne med deres eget navn, vandt produktet.

Det er ganske enkelt genialt! I stedet for at få udviklet en masse dyre og smarte applikationer, så bruger de de redskaber som allerede ligger i Facebook – og som alle brugerne kender. Vi er trygge ved det, og kaster os hurtigt og nemt ud i legen – se hvordan de gjorde…. I LOVE IT!!!

范冰冰 酷愛太陽眼鏡

聯合報/世界日報╱娛樂新聞組/2009.09.18

范冰冰一身奇異裝扮在北京亮相，簽約成為某太陽眼鏡品牌的代言人。據北京晨報報導，16日正好是范冰冰的生日，她許願每年生日都有工作，完全一副工作狂的狀態。

據報導，范冰冰當天的造型和以往大不同，土氣的假髮、復古的上衣，鼻梁上還架著無鏡片的黑框大眼鏡。主持人認為這是「哈利波特」的範兒，而范冰冰則糾正說她的的造型是「阿拉蕾」（日本漫畫人物），「今天心情很好，所以就設計了這個特殊造型。」顯然對自己的造型能力相當滿意。

報導指出，當天正好是范冰冰的生日，現場工作人員拿上生日蛋糕為她慶生，范冰冰捧著蛋糕許了三個願望，並表示全部跟工作有關，「今天很開心，雖然有很多工作，但不覺得辛苦。我曾跟經紀人說，每年生日最好都要安排工作，這樣我會覺得我下一年的工作會越來越好。」

報導說，范冰冰還自稱是喜歡黑暗的人，「收集太陽眼鏡是我的嗜好，因為戴太陽鏡上街讓我很有安全感，我已經收集了五、六百副太陽眼鏡。」
