Clarify peeropts in hg.cone(...)?

[John Wong]

Hi,

I asked this on IRC but I was told I would get better answer via the
mailing list. Thanks.

clone(ui, peeropts, source, dest=None, pull=False, rev=None, update=True,
stream=False, branch=None)

But I don't see peeropts mentioned in the docstring. I figured out by
reading the source code carefully.

Example:
from mercurial import hg, ui

r = hg.clone(ui.ui(), {}, 'https://bitbucket.org/yeukhon/aurum-cli',
update=False)


I traced the usage of peeropt and I found in the same file mercurial/hg.py
we have
*
*def remoteui(src, opts):

   .....
    # copy ssh-specific options
    for o in 'ssh', 'remotecmd':
        v = opts.get(o) or src.config('ui', o)


I am guessing the key 'ssh' you can pass in a string of all ssh commands.
What's remotecmd then?

I also see "peer" being used extensively throughout the codebase. What
exactly is it?

Thanks!

Best,
Yeukhon
