Using Mercurial: The pull-only model
Instead of using a central repository, Mercurial can be used without ever
calling push. The pull-only model works as follows:
- Every team member has a private repository.
- When a team member wishes to distribute changes, there are two options:
- Create a zip file of the contents. Then email the other team members with the zip file.
- Place the files on a USB drive.
- Each team member then executes
hg pull (with the location
of the source repository as a parameter) to update their own repositories.
