Re: [Monotone-devel] Contributed scripts and how to handle them...

[CooSoft Support]

Yup happy to do that, only fair after all :-)...

However I am currently knee deep in trying to get mtn-browse to 
efficiently graph revision histories. So mtn-cleanup may have to 
temporarily move to the `dodgier contrib' area for now until I get the 
test script sorted.

When I come to write the lua test script I imagine I would test it by 
creating two pristine workspaces, go into one and change loads of stuff 
without committing and then run mtn-cleanup on it and then do a diff -r 
on both workspaces hoping to find no differences.

Having had a VERY quick look at some other test scripts a few things 
spring to mind:

1) I take it what I need to get up to speed on tests can be found under 
the notes directory?
2) Cross-platform issues, e.g. could I even run diff -r on say a Windows 
platform? Would it be enough to only test on say Linux/Unix/OSX?

   BTW awesome cleanup job :-). Didn't recognise it at first - :-).

   MTIA,

   Tony.
