webrev.ksh on Ubuntu 12.04

[Dave Pointon]

Hi all ,

Can anyone tell me if they've experienced any problems with webrev.ksh
running on Ubuntu 12.04 with Mercurial V2.7.2.

Although I _have_ a committed change, I see this :

$ ksh ./make/scripts/webrev.ksh 
   SCM detected: mercurial
hg outgoing: invalid arguments
hg: parse error: can't negate that
expr: syntax error

 No outgoing, perhaps you haven't commited.
      Workspace: /home/dpointo8/work/repos/Mercurial/composite.OJDK-889
Compare against: default =
ssh://jtc-hg.hursley.ibm.com//home/hg/jtchg-ibm-adm/composite/80/jcl/head
      Output
to: /home/dpointo8/work/repos/Mercurial/composite.OJDK-889/webrev
   Output Files:
     index.html: Done.
Output to: /home/dpointo8/work/repos/Mercurial/composite.OJDK-889/webrev

and get an empty report as a result.

Running ksh -x reveals the problem to be a command of the form 'hg
outgoing default = /home/path/to/repo' which, self-evidently, mercurial
can't and doesn't, make any sense of.

My local fix at the moment is ...

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
