A friend is working on a patch for me. Will submit it when we have it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That'd be great if we could get this patch reviewed and applied. Currently, Mercurial support is nothing more than reading the contents out of some directory without this change. The change actually reads the repository itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure to understand the actual defect. Please include unit tests in your patch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see the same issue.. I pointed the repository for a project to a local clone of the mercurial repository.. and clicking on Repository takes a long while (It's been about half an hour, and the repository page still wont open). This is the opensolaris kernel repository. If there's any information I can provide about the setup, let me know.

Do you understand what the staging area is in Git and why that is not the same thing as the repository? It's similar to that in Mercurial with the working director. I'm not sure what unit tests you are looking for. It won't show anything without a Mercurial repo attached to it.

A test that would fail with the actual code and pass with your patch.

Indeed. That's why there are test repositories (see doc/RUNNING_TESTS)

Umm, where are you getting this 'hg size' command from?? It doesn't exist on any version I have access to...

Ian (the guy who wrote the patch) wrote a Mercurial plugin to give size. If it's not there it should just show '-' I think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you provide the mercurial plugin here?

Add a file to your Mercurial, commit, then delete and commit. If you try to view that file through Redmine, it will say it's not there because it's trying to pull it from your working directory instead of the changeset itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the mean time, I've added the size method, and a conditional in the model for my upcoming patchset to try the scm.size method and fall back to accessing the filesystem if that returns nil.

That wasn't happening here, but there were some errors handling revisions, etc - the 'entry does not exist in the repository' error is generic, so it's likely some other error was causing your problem, since the cat code currently in trunk works as expected.

Thanks for uploading the size extension, that's working great, and once I do some more testing, I'll get my patch up and link it to this issue for you to test.

If you're still in touch with Ian, can you ask him why he used @"glob:#{path}**"@ instead of @"path:#{path}"@ in the 'entries' method for the patch attached here?

Actually, the problem was likely that mercurial wasn't getting passed a revision when calling cat, which is also fixed in my upcoming patchset

Sounds very likely. I'll give it a try when you're ready.
Thanks for all the work!
