[PATCH] devel/mercurial --authormapsuffix

[Lawrence Stewart]

Hi Python team,

As part of the set up and ongoing running of hg-beta.freebsd.org, I make
use of a patch against devel/mercurial which allows me to append a
suffix to author names during the svn -> hg incremental conversion process.

clusteradm@ are working to streamline the package management on cluster
hosts and it would simplify things for them if the hg-beta.freebsd.org
jail did not make use of any custom compiled software.

The patch in question is at [1]. and after discussion with upstream
[2,3] it was decided not to fold it into the official Mercurial
distribution.

I'm hoping you would be happy to carry the patch in our mercurial/devel
port as an off-by-default option which clusteradm@ can then enable for
cluster package builds via poudriere.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Lawrence
