[Scons-dev] Mercurial Workflow v1.1

[anatoly techtonik]

>From http://scons.org/wiki/SconsMercurialWorkflows#Guidelines

> The main repository is at https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons .You will need to create a free account at Bitbucket.
> "Default" branch is where current development is done; branches are for fixes to existing releases.

It is better to leave named branches for big features or else they
have a habit of cluttering Bitbucket interface. Pull request are
lightweight anonymous branches that together with issue reference
should give a pretty usable history.

> Anyone can fork the repo on the Bitbucket site, clone it on their own computer and make modifications.

It is better to clone official repo, then fork and upload changes to
the fork. This way `hg out` command will show difference between local
and remote, and 'hg inc' inspect new changes.

> If you have a patch which follows the submission guidelines (code, doc, test) you can submit a pull request at bitbucket.
> Patches are reviewed and accepted by the release team.

Pull requests?

> For point releases and fixes, apply the patch to the oldest supported release and merge forward always.
> Never merge the trunk into a release branch, or you'll get everything.
