The commands below allow you to include Mercurial repository information. This does not bundle the full repository, but instead includes the link to the source repository and current branch, so that you can run

hg pull --update

on the server to pull down the full repository.

Usage: deploy.py package [OPTIONS] <toolbox_path> <service_name> <outfile_name>

Package a python toolbox into a service definition file (*.sd). Local
python modules this toolbox references are included automatically.
Requires 7Zip to be installed and on the system PATH.
