Learn the use of Mercurial (II)

It should be series 0, but it happens before I open this blog so it delays as II, ;).

I said I have a flaky internet connection, though ISP claims it is very fast, but I believe GFW would use up lots of bandwidth. I do not want touch politics, but please let technology pass, OK?

People who lived out of my country do not has this problem, therefor they design software without considering it, it brings pains for me. I want to clone a repository which have contained lots of changeset. I power on my machine and let it start clone work in the morning, when I come back in the night, I found it stop work very early and my machine just let me paid power fee at the rest of time!

I seek help from Google, but there is only a awkward method: clone the nth reversion and incrementally pull m reversion at a time until the tip reversion. I wrote a script to get rid of input-wait loop.

#!/bin/sh
myvar=0
while [ $myvar -ne 11 ]
do
     myvar=$(( $myvar + 1 ))
     echo $((280 + $myvar * 25))
     hg pull -r $((280 + $myvar * 25))
done
