Do you have bookmarks enabled? Without bookmarks pushing will likely appear to be a noop.

[Abscissa]

I don't even know what that is.

[Abscissa]

It works fine if I use git (but I'd much rather not), and I can repeat the entire process in another directory (and modify the same lines of code) without recieving any conflict issues, so I'm fairly certain it really isn't getting pushed.

[durin42]

Try using the hg bookmarks extension (Google is likely helpful) and make a bookmark for 'master'. If you need one-on-one support please use the Google Group and not the issue tracker.

No, I'm not looking for one-on-one support, that's why I'm using the issue tracker.

I've just looked up "hg bookmarks", and no, that has nothing to do with this.

Here's the basic sequence of steps:

1. Clone a repo
2. Change a file
3. Commit
4. Push

With those exact same steps:

If I do that with git and clone a repo from github, the new changeset exists in the upstream repo. It works.

If I do it with hg and clone an hg repo, again, the new changeset exists in the upstream repo. It works.

If I do with with hg-git and clone a repo from github, the new changeset does not exist in the upstream repo. It doesn't work. Tags/booksmarks/etc have nothing to do with this.

[miquelfire]

hg-git uses hg bookmarks, if that's not working, then nothing will work.

[Abscissa]

Ok, I understand now. However, over at:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BookmarksExtension

It says that bookmarks are enabled by adding "bookmarks =" to the "[extensions]" section of my "mercurial.ini" (well, actually it says ".hgrc", but it seems to be assuming that everyone's on Unix.) But I do have that in there. So it seems there's still some sort of bug.

[Stiivi]

I am now experiencing the same problem, I do:

$ hg push -r master github pushing to git+ssh://git@github.com/Stiivi/brewery.git importing Hg objects into Git creating and sending data ["git-receive-pack '/Stiivi/brewery.git'"] github::.have => GIT:2a623a68 github::refs/tags/v0.6 => GIT:959fd931 github::refs/heads/master => GIT:7ef1ca14

but changes are not reflected. bitbucket repository was updated correctly.

In .hgrc I have:

[extensions] bookmarks = hgext.bookmarks = hggit = convert = mq =

in project's .hg/hgrc i have:

$ cat .hg/hgrc [paths] default = ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/Stiivi/brewery github = git+ssh://git@github.com/Stiivi/brewery.git

It looks that it stopped working after some pull/merge from a foreign git clone.

[nelchael]

I'm getting the same after upgrade to mercurial 1.9 and hg-git HEAD (as 0.2.6 does not work with hg 1.9):

$ hg --verbose --debug push -r master pushing to git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/nelchael.git creating and sending data calling ssh: ssh git@git.overlays.gentoo.org 'git-receive-pack '\''/dev/nelchael.git'\''' ["git-receive-pack '/dev/nelchael.git'"] default::refs/heads/master => GIT:8e0e7bf5

[Stiivi]

I forgot to post an update day or two after my post. What helped was deleting all bookmarks (I do not use bookmarks, so there were only github related bookmarks). However I consider that only as a workaround, as I am not sure if I didn't broke something with that... Anyway, it looks that hg-git forgets to update github related bookmarks under certain circumstances.

[nelchael]

@Stiivi: thanks, unfortunately it didn't work:

$ hg bookmarks master 32:f5e8329c16ad $ hg bookmarks --delete master $ hg push pushing to git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/nelchael.git creating and sending data ["git-receive-pack '/dev/nelchael.git'"] default::refs/heads/master => GIT:8e0e7bf5 $ hg bookmarks no bookmarks set $ hg pull --update pulling from git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/nelchael.git ["git-upload-pack '/dev/nelchael.git'"] no changes found $ hg bookmarks master 32:f5e8329c16ad $ hg push pushing to git+ssh://git@git.overlays.gentoo.org/dev/nelchael.git creating and sending data ["git-receive-pack '/dev/nelchael.git'"] default::refs/heads/master => GIT:8e0e7bf5 $ hg bookmarks master 32:f5e8329c16ad $

[jfrelinger]

I'm having similar issues, deleting the bookmark doesn't work for me either...

[vinc3m1]

You need to update to your bookmark before you commit, or move the bookmark up to the latest commit. Especially if you have

[bookmarks]
track.current = True

It is possible to be on the same commit as your bookmark, but not actually be moving the bookmark. make sure to check that the bookmark (branch) you want to be on has a star by it and is on the correct commit.

For example:

hg update master
hg commit -m "this commit will move master bookmark (equivalent to git branch) with you"

Otherwise:

hg commit -m "if you accidentally commit first, you need to move master back up to your commit"
hg bookmark -f master

[nelchael]

hg bookmark -f master seems to fix the issue.

[vinc3m1]

Can OP confirm this issue closed?

[adamschmideg]

I'm having the same issue (hg push failing silently). Your proposed workarounds (hg update master before commit, or hg bookmark -f master after commit) result in an error with a stacktrace:

error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master

Hmms. I do a hg push git+ssh://git@github.com/<<username>>/<<repo-name>>.git and I get
