Memcached source repository

I am currently working in a team here at Sun that focus on improving Memcached performance.

The official Memcached source repository is a Subversion repository located at http://code.sixapart.com/svn/memcached/. Since Subversion is not well suited for distributed development, we need a place to store our changes while waiting for them to be accepted into the official repository.

I asked the community how we should do it, and they responded that we should set up an a repository to incubate our changes. I have created a Mercurial repository in the Web Stack project. It contains two Mercurial branches:

• default - This is the branch we are working on
• memcached - This is a "mirror" of the official Memcached repository

You may clone the repository with the following command:

$ hg clone ssh://anon@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/webstack/memcached-incubator

To select the branch you would like to see, execute the following command:

$ hg update branch

To see the difference between the two branches, just select the default branch and execute:

$ hg diff -r memcached

Please note that bugs should be reported to "memcached at lists dot danga dot org" unless it only applies to our branch. In that case you can send them to "webstack-discuss at opensolaris dot org"
