Mercurial: Pull Other Dialog Box

The Mercurial Pull Other dialog box enables you to pull changesets from an external Mercurial repository and add them to your local repository.

You can access the Pull Other dialog by choosing Team > (Mercurial >) Share > Pull Other from the main menu.

In the Pull Other dialog, you need to specify the location of the Mercurial repository you want to pull from.

Repository URL: Type in the URL of the repository you want to pull from.

The IDE supports the following Mercurial URLs:

ProtocolAccess MethodExample
file Direct repository access (on local disk) file:///repository_path
http Access via WebDAV protocol to a Mercurial-aware server http://[username[:password]@]hostname/repository_path
https Access via HTTP protocol with SSL encryption https://[username[:password]@]hostname/repository_path
static-http Access via HTTP also, albeit slower, allows access to a Mercurial repository where you simply use a web server to publish the .hg directory as static content static-http://hostname/repository_path
ssh Access via SSH ssh://hostname/repository_path
