Subject: [brailleblaster] Repositories

Hello,
You will have seen two commit messages recently. These relate to me
switching what is the default repository.

* brailleblaster.newdesign has been copied to the default repository.
* The original default repository has been copied to brailleblaster.old.

So if you wish to use the old version of BrailleBlaster (not
recommended) use the repository at
http://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster.old

If you want to use the newer version then use the repository at
http://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster

For those who have existing clones on their system you may push or pull by
specifying the appropriate URL, eg. if pulling the new code then please use:
hg pull http://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster
Similar when pushing:
hg push https://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster

You need not create a new clone to not need to type these URLs, but you will
need to edit a configuration file. Here is how to change your clone of
brailleblaster.newdesign to commit to the default repository:
* In your clone open the file: .hg/hgrc in a text editor (notepad will do).
* The configuration file is in the .ini type format. Fine the paths section,
it should be a line with just [paths] on it.
* In the [paths] section you should find a line beginning with default =
* Change the URL on the default line to reflect the default repository URL:
default = https://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster
NOTE: you can add your username in the URL so you need not give it:
default = https://<username>@code.google.com/p/brailleblaster
where <username> is your google username.

I plan to remove the newdesign repository soon so that there cannot be
accidental use of the wrong repository.
