如何使用应只读的GIT子模块提交hg repo？

Question

my Hg repo now needs to include a Git submodule (Restkit) as per the advised method in the site wiki. However, I am not updating the git contents and should only be potentially reading/pulling in changes from the host. It appears that when I came to make my first push of my main Hg repo it baulked at the Git one asking for a password. I think this may be because its attempting to authenticate against the Git site as well. My questions are can I arrange this so that the Git repo is read-only(pull) or even static and/or get round the log in issue. Obviously the two different repos have different credentials. Thanks. PS using Atlassian SourceTree 1.5.3 on OS X 10.8.2, Xcode 4.5.1

I've just re-read this;

2.6. Synchronizing in subrepositories

Subrepos don't automatically track the latest changeset of their sources. Instead, they are updated to the changeset that corresponds with the changeset checked out in the top-level changeset. This is so developers always get a consistent set of compatible code and libraries when they update.

Thus, updating subrepos is a manual process. Simply run 'hg pull' and 'hg up' in the target subrepo, test in the top-level repo, then commit in the top-level repo to record the new combination. The onsub extension can be used to automate that.

Assume this means its not pulling the sub? but I still have the above issue of the password request.

Answer 1

You moved in the right direction, but not finished all required steps.

You have to have subrepository , create it by hand... and don't mix real subrepository with a) independent b) nested repository

When you'll convert nested to subrepo push into master repo will not perform push to subrepo (except it requested)
