I have a directory structure like:
project_root
data/
src/
.hg/
utils/
math/
graphics/
...
README.txt
LICENCE.txt
As you can see from the location of .hg/, only src/ is under Hg control. I'd like to move the repository root up from src/ to its parent directory project_root, so I can track data/, README.txt, and LICENCE.txt as well.
A hacky way to do this would be to move everything down a directory rather than moving .hg up:
- Move the contents of src down to a new directory src/src/
- Move the contents of project_root (other than src/) down to src/
- Rename src to new_project_root
- Move new_project_root out of project_root, delete project_root
Is there a better way? I can't be the first person with this problem, and the above solution seems overly involved.
