TracMercurial: egg creation fails with IndexError

[spinor]

After svn checkout:

svn co ​http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/plugins/0.12/mercurial-plugin

The attempt to create the egg fails with the following traceback:

mercurial-plugin>python setup.py bdist_egg

Actually the above doesn't link to ​http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue79 as I thought it would ;-)

So the problem here is most likely that you have a svn checkout done with svn 1.7 and setuptools doesn't like this.

[Remy Blank]

I assume we're going to get loads of reports of this type once again, until setuptools has caught up :(

[valeriy.shershnyov@…]

Remove following line from the setup.cfg: tag_svn_revision = true

Worked for me.

Replying to valeriy.shershnyov@…:

Remove following line from the setup.cfg: tag_svn_revision = true

Yes, we should probably do that :(

It works for me too.

Creating virtualenv with --distribute works for me.

Note that the TracMercurial plugin is now hosted in a mercurial repository… (it was about time!).
