I need to control the version of a few files accessible via an SMB share. These files will be modified by several people. The files themselves are directly used by a web server.
Since these are production files I wanted to force the users to pull a local copy, edit them, commit and push them back. Unfortunately there is no Mercurial server on that machine.
What would be the appropriate way to configure Mercurial on my side so that:
- the versioning (.hg directory) is kept on the share
- and that the files on the share are at the latest version?
I do not have access to this server (other than via the share). If I could have a mercurial server on that machine I would have used a hook to update the files in the production directory (I am saying this just to highlight what I want to achieve - this approach is not possible as I do not control that server)
Thanks!
