convert and bfiles

[David Douard]

Hi,

I am considering using Greg's new bfile extension for an existing project. For 
this to be feasible, I need to convert an existing repo to make some of the 
currectly hg-tracked files be now bfile-tracked ones.

I have hacked a bit mercurial's convert extension to do this. My hack allow to 
use a new filemap command "bfile" like:

=8<-- filemap ---
bfile toto
bfile lib/toto
bfile tutu/tutu
==8<--

To use it, if one wants to autmatically perform fput operations during 
conversion mecanism, he should specify a --config bfiles.store=XXX argument, 
like:

david:~/tmp/test$ hg convert --config 
bfiles.store=/home/david/tmp/test_convert_bfile/store/ -d hg --filemap 
filemap src dst 

I am not very happy with my hack, but it seems to work.

I attach the bundle of my modifications (from hg-stable repo). I'd appreciate 
any comments and it may be useful to some users. My main concern is that I 
did not see any way of doing this without modifying the convert extension 
directly. Am I wrong?

David
