Question

Hi!

I would like to request support for the "git-flow" branching model. (http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/).

It's basically a way to create branches from the commandline for scenarios like bug-fixes, features, stabilizing etc. The branching model is created for git but also adopted for mercurial (https://bitbucket.org/yinwm/hgflow/wiki/Home). However, this exension creates normal mercurial branches, it would be great to create the "kiln-preferred" way of child-repo's.

Thanks for the feature request, Menno. Because the Kiln API allows you to create branch repositories, this shouldn't be a hard feature to add, but we currently don't have a pre-built tool that enables a git-flow-style workflow. I've opened up a feature request to get this into an upcoming version of Kiln.
