539266 - enable git diffs on hg webheads

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

Should be as simple as adding (to a hgrc somewhere):
[diff]
git = 1

This should give us diffs that correctly show file moves and copies.

git diffs enabled on dm-hg01 and dm-hg02

This doesn't seem to have actually fixed this. djc: is this just a deficiency in hgweb?

Comment 3

[Dirkjan Ochtman (:djc)]

Hmm, shouldn't be, but, what version of hg do we run on the webheads these days?

I thought those were the backend servers? Do the web front-ends share the same repo or do they have their own?

No, those are the webheads:
http://dm-hg01.mozilla.org/
http://dm-hg02.mozilla.org/

As I understand it, http traffic is proxied by dm-hg01/02 to the actual web front-ends (dm-vcview*).

Derek: is that correct? If so, can you try setting this on the dm-vcview* machines?

Comment 8

[Derek Moore [:dmoore]]

Activated on dm-vcview0[123]. Per aravind and Comment #6, this is the proper location.
