hgsftp

hgsftp is an extension for the Mercurial DVCS which allows it to access repositories through SFTP. To accomplish this, it uses the FUSE/SSHFS filesystem to mount the repository during actions which require remote access. It therefore only works on systems for which FUSE/SSHFS is available (which includes Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X). Future versions may allow use of other similar frameworks, such as puffs (NetBSD) and Dokan or WinFUSE (Windows).

WARNING: this software has received only limited testing. For example, it is unknown what will happen when more than one user tries to access the same repository at the same time.

What is new in this release:

• This version ensures that the repository is always unmounted.

What is new in version 0.1.3:

• Changed the way the URL and directories are passed to sshfs, to prevent possible problems when using URLs containing single quotes.
