MadCap Software Forums

We are switching to Mercurial. I can get neither HGSCC or VisualScc to work with flare. It's a shame because I like flare a great deal but would love to integrate it with Mercurial. Has anyone gotten this to work? Are there plans to add support?

thanks

Any word about this?

Re: CVS, PVCS or subversion with Flare

- he seems to be the only one in the forums using it.

Mercurial's use is growing in popularity. Kiln, the new VCS produced by fogcreek, is actually a mercurial implementation: http://www.fogcreek.com/Kiln/learnmore.html

Mercurial has 2 SCC providers (VisualHG and hgscc) both are very good but only support the latest Visual Studio SCC api. Flare only seems to support the older api. So, I guess the question is whether Flare intends to support the newer SCC api.

I believe that this is the same problem I have with the SourceGear Vault integration.

I simply does not work in MadCap, even SourceGear Vault complies to all known VSS API
standards etc.

Somehow MadCap managed to implement a very dedicated source control logic.
