Using vcsrepo with Mercurial ============================ To create a blank repository ---------------------------- Define a `vcsrepo` without a `source` or `revision`: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => hg } To clone/pull & update a repository ----------------------------------- To get the default branch tip: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => hg, source => "http://hg.example.com/myrepo" } For a specific changeset, use `revision`: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => hg, source => "http://hg.example.com/myrepo" revision => '21ea4598c962' } You can also set `revision` to a tag: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => hg, source => "http://hg.example.com/myrepo" revision => '1.1.2' } For sources that use SSH (eg, `ssh://...`) ------------------------------------------ Manage your SSH keys with Puppet and use `require` in your `vcsrepo` to ensure they are present. For more information, see the `require` metaparameter documentation[1]. More Examples ------------- For examples you can run, see `examples/hg/` [1]: http://docs.reductivelabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html#require
