40 FILE NAME PATTERNS
41 ------------------
42
43 Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more
44 files at a time.
45
46 By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended
47 glob patterns.
48
49 Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
50
51 To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a
52 name with "path:". These path names must match completely, from
53 the root of the current repository.
54
55 To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:". Globs are
56 rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match
57 files ending in ".c" in the current directory only.
58
59 The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string
60 across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b".
61
62 To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:".
63 Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.
64
65 Plain examples:
66
67 path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of
68 the repository
69 path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"
70
71 Glob examples:
72
73 glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
74 *.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
75 **.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or
76 any subdirectory
77 foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
78 foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any
79 subdirectory
80
81 Regexp examples:
82
83 re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository
