mercenary.vim: A mercurial wrapper so awesome, you should give it money

mercenary.vim

I'm not going to lie to you; mercenary.vim may very well be the worst Mercurial wrapper of all time.

This is my fork of Jamie Wong's great work. I needed to modify it slightly to work with subrepos. So far I have only got the HGblame working with subrepos.

Show and Tell

Here are some screenshots showing off some the mercenary's dirty work:

:HGblame will annotate the current file with the blame. Every Line of Code is Always Documented

:HGdiff {rev} will diff the current file against the specified revision.

:HGshow {rev} will show the commit message and diff for the specified revision.

:HGcat {rev} {path} will show the specified file at the specified revision.

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing NeoBundle and adding

NeoBundle 'stephenmm/vim-mercenary'

to your .vimrc then next time you start vim it will install itself.

If you prefer pathogen.vim, after installing it, simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/stephenmm/vim-mercenary.git

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help mercenary.

Heavily inspired by vim-fugitive by Tim Pope: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive

This started out as a fork of fugitive, but I eventually discovered that the differences between git and mercurial while minor in functionality are vast in implementation. So I started from scratch, using fugitive's code as a reference but re-implementing everything to be less of a monkey patch for mercurial.
