      I'd like to see an option, similar to that in the SVN plugin, that lets you add multiple Mercurial repositories to a Hudson job.

      I realize this has been addressed in JENKINS-1143 and JENKINS-1344, but I think that this feature should be reconsidered. First of all, as stated in JENKINS-1344, not every collection of repositories will be organized in a forest. The forest extension itself is not bundled with Mercurial and, according to their wiki page, "does not appear to be actively maintained".

      http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ForestExtension

      So I think that these days (the above issues are 2 years old), most projects will either use multiple but unrelated Mercurial repositories or they will use subrepos (which, I think, are still considered "experimental"), but not the forest extension.

          Comment [ How can you close this ticket when the multi-scm plugin clearly states: "This plugin is more of a proof-of-concept than a robust and fully functional component. It does work in my particular build environment, and is meant to serve as a demonstration of what might be possible with more work. It was inspired by JENKINS-7155 requesting multiple repository checkouts for Mercurial similar to what is possible with the Subversion plugin. It's currently implemented as a plugin, but if enough people find it useful, I think the idea would work better in the Jenkins core."?

          This needs reopened as it should be a core part of Jenkins.

          The multi-scm plugin does NOT work well with CI / GitHub integration. ]
