Hi Mecurial forum,

I'm moving away from svn because, due to it's centralised nature, it's
become slow as molasses for large projects. So I've decided to dvcs so that
I can to many local commits and then send them over to the main repository
at once.

I'm a web developer on a Windows platform and my workflow is as follows:

Work locally whilst making commits
Upload site to server (linux) still making commits

Currently as SVN would run really slow across the whole internet, I wrote a
script to tgzip and rsync to a local working copy and then commit from
there. I use TortoiseSVN to manage my commits. And if I wish to make any
reverts (part files or whole), I'd use TSVN as well, then just upload the
reverted file.

Upon moving to a dvcs like Hg, I would make commits locally when working on
the server. I only have shell access to the server so I'll have to use a
curses based UI. I've seen the Crecord Extension for merges and commits. But
does it do reverts as well? Is there another curses based Hg extension that
does it? I think I saw hg easy, but I think that is out of development.

On a side note, I've also been trying out git and tig, but only for the past
hour. I think I can do commits and reverts on it. But I'm concerned about
how msysgit runs locally on my windows machine. And I don't want to mess
about with hg/git connectors. So what I'm asking is there a tig for
mercurial that can do both commits and reverts?

Cheers,

Richard
