1 What is "hg purge"?
|
|
|
2 ===================
|
|
|
3 "purge" is a simple extension for the Mercurial source control management
|
|
|
4 system (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial).
|
|
|
5 This extension adds a "purge" command to "hg" that removes files not known
|
|
|
6 to mercurial, this is useful to test local and uncommitted changes in the
|
|
|
7 otherwise clean source tree.
|
|
|
8
|
|
|
9 This means that Mercurial will delete:
|
|
|
10 - Unknown files: files marked with "?" by "hg status"
|
|
|
11 - Ignored files: files usually ignored by Mercurial because they match a
|
|
|
12 pattern in a ".hgignore" file
|
|
|
13 - Empty directories: infact Mercurial ignores directories unless they
|
|
|
14 contain files under source control managment
|
|
|
15 But it will leave untouched:
|
|
|
16 - Unmodified files tracked by Mercurial
|
|
|
17 - Modified files tracked by Mercurial
|
|
|
18 - New files added to the repository (with "hg add")
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 Be careful with "hg purge", you could irreversibly delete some files you
|
|
|
21 forgot to add to the repository. If you only want to print the list of
|
|
|
22 files that this program would delete use:
|
|
|
23 hg purge -vn
|
|

29 extension putting a line like:
