Bzr hook does not fill in repository information

[gracinet]

The Mercurial hook sends repository info all along, which can prove useful, e.g., in multi-repository setups to filter through a doStepIf function.

The Bzr hook does not.

Of course the caveat is that the only possible repository information available to the hook is the path on the local FS where it runs. Still, this would be useful.

[gracinet]

To illustrate (on current github master branch),

With the bzr hook:

Category 	None

With the Mercurial hook:

Category 	None
Changed by 	gracinet

Repository 	buildbot/repos/merc1
Branch 	default

This could easily be changed to provide that information with a configurable value, so that it could have a form that's useful remotely.

[gracinet]

Absolutely, something more useable remotely would be welcome.

That being said, I tend to use buildbot on big bunches of repositories, which means that anything purely manual would be a pain. On the other hands, these are actually mirrors of reference repositories, which means I can organize them in big sections and filter on that.

For now, I have local changes that make the bzr hook behave consistently wrt the mercurial hook, giving this:

Category 	None
Changed by 	gracinet
Changed at 	Sun 15 Apr 2012 18:05:52
Repository 	file:///home/gracinet/buildbot/repos/bzr2
Branch 	bzr2
Revision 	5

or that, with a strip option similar to Mercurial's set to 2:

Category 	None
Changed by 	gracinet
Changed at 	Sun 15 Apr 2012 18:07:51
Repository 	file:///home/gracinet/buildbot
Branch 	bzr2
Revision 	6

Submitting a pull request is just a matter of finding my way on github (not really used to it)

[dustin]

SubmittingPatches should help you out there. Thanks in advance :)

[gracinet]

Thanks for the pointer,  pull request done.
