Hi Folks,
We are using CVS on windows via putty ssh. The keys have been set up
and login is automatic using Pageant
http://www.tartarus.org/~simon/puttydoc/Chapter9.html
I have set up subversion and mercurial to use plink as the ssh
transport for working with remote repositories
http://www.tartarus.org/~simon/puttydoc/Chapter7.html
In subversion, a shell variable was set
SVN_SSH="x:/path/plink.exe"
And .subversion/config got a line:
[tunnels]
ssh = $SVN_SSH plink.exe
for mercurial, mercurial.ini got
[ui]
ssh = x:/path/plink.exe
This was enough to enable doing
svn checkout svn+ssh://machine/repo .
and
hg clone ssh://machine/repo .
** I have not found documentation explaining how BZR can be configured
to use putty's plink ssh transport on Windows. A quick look at code
in bzrlib/transport seems to indicate more coding is needed accomplish
what was done with subversion and mercurial? **
I would be willing to get bzr+ssh working on Windows and write up a
recipe if anyone will offer a few tips on on how to approach it and
where to start.
Thanks
Larry
