Is anyone use Activecollab with Git or Hg?

We currently use activecollab with subversion, but we want to consider using Git or Hg to give us distributed source control.

Is anyone making this work, so that revisions can be linked to tickets in activecollab, just as they are for SVN?

Solution

  • activeCollab 3 (currently in beta) has built in GIT and Mercurial support.

    Due to the way you authenticate on GIT repository and limitations of most production PHP setups, activeCollab works only with local copies of repository. Unlike SVN, where you can just provide repository URL and user credentials, for GIT you need to:

    1. Clone a repository on the same machine where activeCollab is installed,
    2. Set up cron to auto-update it
    3. Add path of the local repository copy to activeCollab.

    When activeCollab 3 stable version is out, we'll provide documentation and detailed instructions.
