Mercurial - set current branch to update from

Hi all,

I use Mercurial, and am using the (most recent) evaluation version of FB7 to prepare the transition from Seapine Surround SCM to Mercurial.

The mercurial actions seem to be working fine, except I cannot find how to set the current branch to update from. The Mercurial Branch action is to read the current Branch, or set a new branch.

As I want to create a continuous build that build to separate folders for each branch, I get the branch name for the tip (with the Tip action and getting the branch name for that).

But now I need the Mercurial 'Generic' action to do an update with the "update -C %BranchName%" command. That's ugly but fine for the moment.

Did I overlook something or should the Update action be expanded?

BTW the improvements over FB5 are very nice!

Hi Hugo,
I’ll add a branch option to the Update action and get a build out to you ASAP.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi Hugo,
This test build should now allow you to specify a branch for the Update action:

Please let me know if you run into any issues.

Cheers,
