The main entry points are:

  • swh.loader.mercurial.loader.HgLoader which reads and loads a local repository into an SWH archive.

  • swh.loader.mercurial.loader.HgArchiveLoader which reads and loads a local repository wrapped within a tarball

  • swh.loader.mercurial.directory.HgCheckoutLoader which ingests the hg tree at a specific changeset or tag.
