Tortoisehg on a remote folder (ssh/sftp)

My hg repository is on a server that I can reach with ssh and sftp. So I can mount the remote dir on my desktop (debian) and can edit the file there.

Now I would like to use Tortoisehg, but I would rather not to clone the repo locally, but just using the remote one that is now mounted locally. How can I do th?

It's, in common, The Bad Idea (tm) to use repository from network drive, but:

use this repo the same way, as you edited files in working dir of repository

  • Mount to any point of local FS
  • Add repository to TortoiseHG Workbench, using "translated" local path to repository
  • Use repository as any other really local

But clone|push way is more natural and bullet-proof (no chances to get corrupted repo, real backup of your local repository on remote host)
