Redmine

Reposman.rb can only create one type of repo per run. You could theoretically have 3 reposmans running at :00, :20 and :40 creating svn, git and hg repos ;-)

Note though that reposman will never replace existing repository settings, meaning you can have a reposman configured to create svn repos, but still create a project with a git or hg repository "by hand" without fear of reposman replacing it.

Thanks for your answer.

I tried the trick of running several reposman.rb with --scm being set accordingly, but I wonder: how can the user select the type of repos he want ?

That was meant as a joke, if you have reposmans set up as I wrote, anyone requesting a new repository to be setup through reposman would get a git repo if requested between :00 and :20, an hg one if requested between :20 and :40 and an svn one if requested between :40 and :00.

There is no way to have users choose which type of repository they want in core, the only way I know of is with a patch I've seen a while ago, but I don't know if it works with current Redmine, nor where I have seen it, sorry.

I suspected you were joking :)

I've been pointed at those patches a couple of minutes ago, we might work to use them. Do you think this kind of feature has its place inside the core ? Or it should stays out, as a plugin. Because as far as I understand, reposman has no hook for plugins ...

I'm not involved in Redmine development anymore, sorry, I can't help you with that, but keep me posted if you find and update the patches, I might need them in the near future too.
