Dear all,
I have an issue while pushing a repository containing multiple subrepositories.
I will write a little introduction into more complex problem that we have, and maybe someone could propose a better solution for the whole idea.
First of all, we have many legacy applications. They share multiple dependencies (middleware code), each in other repository (6 repositories). More or less they share the same versions of these dependencies… More or less…
I read a little about subrepositories and it sounds like a perfect solution for us. What I would like to achive is to create a “master” repository, containing multiple subrepositories. The are many advantages of this solution:
- we can keep the repositories for the dependencies and applications separately like now (each of them has many branches, bookmars, tags, and of course, important history)
- on each commit on the “master” repository, a hash of each current subrepository commit is saved, so each time we update to any “master” revhash, we update to a consistent state.
Of course there is more, but those two are crucial.
In the mercurial wiki (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Subrepository) I read about a perfect solution, where we could have something like one codebase for application and its depedenencies.
First of all I have created a new group “main” on RhodeCode and a completely new repository “master” in it. Later I have cloned it and I have cloned the dependencies’ repositories and the application’s one into the “master” repository. I have added all of them to the .hgsub file just like in the wiki page.
The directory structure is:
master (parent)
|.hg
|.hgsub
|.hgsubstate
|- dependency1
|- dependency2
|- dependency3
|- dependency4
|- dependency5
|- dependency6
|- application1
Everything works perfectly fine on my local machine. Branching, bookmarks, commits and so on.
Unfortunately, during the initial push - “hg push” from directory master - to the RhodeCode I encounter an error about lack of privilages for “dependency1”.
Some logs:

Forbidding access. abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
Do you have any ideas how to properly initialize those subrepositories under master repository?
Thanks in advance,
