Mercurial Hg No changes found - can't Hg push out

Question

Can someone pls advise why I'm getting NO CHANGES found at the end.

Also, I'm getting an annoying message, "Username not specified in .hg/hgrc. Keyring will not be used."

You have to do hg commit first.

hg stat shows the changes made to the current working repository (since the last commit) and hg out shows the commits made to your repository that will be pushed out on hg push.

And the message "Username not specified in .hg/hgrc" means that your username is not specified in the .hg/hgrc file. Keyring is an extension I'm not familiar with; presumably it will take your username and do something with a key.

no changes found issue is gone. thanks. But i see the following while "hg push". remote: adding changesets remote: adding manifests remote: adding file changes remote: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files remote: abort: crosses branches (merge branches or use --clean to discard changes). remote: warning: changegroup hook exited with status 255 .....................By the way, what's .hg/.hgrc .. the file in ~/home directory? – Mooneye

You're going to need to do a merge. I don't know what the "changegroup hook" is; you'll need to talk to the admin about that. – Loading

You may want to look at these. They've helped me: mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Tutorial hgbook.red-bean.com/read – Loading

The .hg/hgrc file should be in the root directory of the repository. So in your example, that file should be at ~/2012WS/GigaTest/.hg/hgrc. There should also be a file at ~/.hgrc (in your home directory) which has more global settings for Mercurial. – Loading

What if I'm setting Hg/Mercurial setup on a virutal server (cluster environment) where I dont have a USER's home ~ directory. In that case, which file will hold the "more global" settings for mercurial? – Mooneye
