How to delete a branch permanently in mercurial/bitbucket?

0 votes
550 views

I need to delete a branch in mercurial in order to move it into a private repository. I have heard of the "hg strip" method but Bitbucket is warning me that this operation will affect branches I would prefer keeping...

So I just have no idea right now how to prune this specific branch out of my public repo! :(

Any suggestions for doing this would be much appreciated!

How to permanently erase big files to avoid big repository in GIT?

I have tried some methods introduced in the network, but always failed. Some big files committed by me to a very old branch then the files deleted and new branches were continuously created. Now the checkout directory has grown to about 80 megabytes.

What's the right way to permanently erase those garbage big files?

How to Pull/Fetch a specific GIT branch (and NOT clone entire repository) to the AIX server

There's a challenge that i'm currently facing after migration from WINCVS to GIT. The problem here is I need to pull/fetch a specific branch (and NOT clone the entire repository) from the repository to a particular location on the AIX server.

Earlier while using WINCVS this functionality was achievable using JCVSExport package as we could just checkout a particular branch and fetch the package on to the server location.
WINCVS Command : java JCVSExport -h cvs.xyz.com -u abcde -p xxxxxx -d /abcd/cvs/testing -c "$REPOSITORY" -m "$PACKAGE"

I am not able to achieve the same functionality using GIT. I DO NOT want to clone the entire repository on the AIX server instead I just want to fetch/pull a specific branch contents on the server. Can someone please help me out with the solution or any possible way with which I can achieve the same functionality.
