Hg Commit Monitor
The Hg Commit Monitor is a small tool that sits in your tray and helps you monitoring multiple remote Mercurial repositories. If new pushs apear in the repository the Hg Commit Monitor will notify you via a balloontip. That way you can always be sure that you did not miss any push to your favourite Mercurial repository.
The Hg Commit Monitor will keep track of which pushs you already have seen. That way it will even notify you, if there are any new commits, even if Hg Commit Monitor was turned off while those pushs happened.
Features:
- Bugs you as little as possible, while clearly communicating its status.
- Can monitor multiple repositories.
- May be used on repositories that are private and need authentication.
- May be used on repositories that use https, but use a self-signed key.
- Gives one-click access to more detailed information via the repository’s website.
Quickstart
When you want to monitor a http or https repository please make sure that you enter the complete URL to the atom log feed. Example: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/atom-log
When you want to monitor a ssh repository enter the absolute path to the root directory of the repository. Example: ssh://test.org/var/tmp/commit where /var/tmp/commit is the absolute path.
hg must be in the path – so check if manually going to the root and typing ‘hg log -l 10′ works on the server.

run, open settings, add repository, try to cancel window through “cancel” (btnCancel) button.
expected – dialog closes
actual – identifier field alert.
dialog can still be closed by pressing “x” in the corner

there is no support for samba/network shares, only http(s) and ssh.

It would be great if you could filter the messages that you subscribed to for instance only show changes to files below specified directory (see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mercurial_FAQ/Filter_a_Mercurial_Changelog_feed_by_Pushlog_directory_paths)

Hi Vahur, hi Tony,
thank you for getting back to me on this. Both great suggestions. But unfortunately I can’t promise you any timeline, when this will get implemented.
Thanks for using HG Commit Monitor!

It would be helpful to see the branch the changeset was applied to

Would be nice if it didn’t show the password in plaintext for URLs that require authentication!
(Nor should the password be stored in plaintext)

Thanks for developing and sharing this tool!
It would be nice to support SSH authentication using key-pairs.
