hgrc hooks changegroup multiplatform

[Jérôme Godbout]

Hi,
first here is the use case, we have a repos that is the central where all
the official changes ends up once reviewed. This repos is accessible by
developer by mounting a network drive.

We have a hook to execute a scripts that will do refresh data on other
server when a user push new rev to the central repos. My problems is that
we have Linux and Windows OS mounting the drive and have a problems with
executing the hook on both OS.

We did both scripts that we placed into the repos folder directly ( not
inside the .hg):
*refresh_redmine.cmd*  // For windows execution
*refresh_redmine*  // *nix which is essentially a .sh into bash, removed
the extension to have the same executable name

For Windows the following scripts hgrc ontot the central repos:


*[hooks]*
*changegroup.refresh_redmine = refresh_redmine*

This work like expected. But with *nix system, the executable is not into
the current path.

For Linux the command is never found. Is there a way to add the repos path
to the environment to have the same behavior on both platform?

so I have to do the follwoing to make it work.
./*refresh_redmine*

but this brake the proper behavior for Windows user.
I also tried the following:
*changegroup.refresh_redmine = refresh_redmine || ./refresh_redmine*

Sadly this break since the windows doesn't recognize this syntax. It does
work for *nix.

Here's what I would like to avoid:

   - Specify the hgrc behavior on each client (it's bound to be forgotten)
   - Having multiple platforms support
   - Avoid having to add the repos path to all environment path of each
   *nix user/machine


What I ideally would like:

*Solution #1*:  A way to add the repos path into a var into the hgrc with
*nix path for both platform (windows could replace the / with \ or have a
path that support both):

*changegroup.refresh_redmine = ${REPOS_PATH}/refresh_redmine*

*Solution #2*: Add some environment path for the hgrc execution only

*[hooks]*
*changegrouppath = **${REPOS_PATH}*
*changegroup.refresh_redmine = refresh_redmine*


Maybe someone have a good solution/workaround for this?
