| 59 addremove:: | |
| 497 | 60 Add all new files and remove all missing files from the repository. |
| 61 | |

| 438 | 65 annotate [-r <rev> -u -n -c] [files ...]:: |
| 497 | 66 List changes in files, showing the revision id responsible for each line |

86 basename of the source. |
| 497 | 87 |
| 498 | 88 The source is added to the new repository's .hg/hgrc file to be used in |
| 497 | 89 future pulls. |
| 90 | |
| 498 | 91 For efficiency, hardlinks are used for cloning whenever the |
| 92 source and destination are on the same filesystem. | |
| 497 | 93 |
| 94 options: | |
| 505 | 95 -U, --noupdate do not update the new working directory |
| 497 | 96 |
| 97 commit [-A -t -l <file> -t <text> -u <user> -d <datecode>] [files...]:: | |
| 498 | 98 Commit changes to the given files into the repository. |
| 497 | 99 |

| 101 will be commited. | |
| 497 | 102 |
| 498 | 103 The HGEDITOR or EDITOR environment variables are used to start an |
| 104 editor to add a commit comment. | |
| 497 | 105 |
| 106 Options: | |
| 107 | |
| 108 -A, --addremove run addremove during commit | |
| 109 -t, --text <text> use <text> as commit message | |
| 110 -l, --logfile <file> show the commit message for the given file | |

| 118 | |
| 119 This command takes effect for the next commit. | |
| 120 | |
| 121 diff [-r revision] [-r revision] [files ...]:: | |
| 122 Show differences between revisions for the specified files. | |
| 123 | |
| 124 Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format. | |
| 125 | |
| 498 | 126 When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown |
| 127 between those revisions. If only one revision is specified then | |
| 128 that revision is compared to the working directory, and, when no | |
| 129 revisions are specified, the working directory files are compared | |
| 130 to its parent. | |
| 497 | 131 |
| 132 export [revision]:: | |
| 133 Print the changeset header and diffs for a particular revision. | |
| 134 | |
| 135 The information shown in the changeset header is: author, changeset hash, | |
| 136 parent and commit comment. | |
| 137 | |
| 138 forget [files]:: | |
| 139 Undo an 'hg add' scheduled for the next commit. | |
| 140 | |
| 141 heads:: | |
| 142 Show all repository head changesets. | |
| 143 | |
| 498 | 144 Repository "heads" are changesets that don't have children |
| 145 changesets. They are where development generally takes place and | |
| 146 are the usual targets for update and merge operations. | |
| 497 | 147 |
| 148 identify:: | |
| 149 Print a short summary of the current state of the repo. | |
| 150 | |
| 151 This summary identifies the repository state using one or two parent | |
| 152 hash identifiers, followed by a "+" if there are uncommitted changes | |
| 153 in the working directory, followed by a list of tags for this revision. | |
| 154 | |
| 155 aliases: id | |
| 156 | |
| 157 import [-p <n> -b <base> -q] <patches>:: | |
| 158 Import a list of patches and commit them individually. | |
| 159 | |
| 160 options: | |
| 161 -p, --strip <n> directory strip option for patch. This has the same | |
| 162 meaning as the correnponding patch option | |
| 163 -b <path> base directory to read patches from | |
| 164 | |
| 165 aliases: patch | |

| 438 | 185 manifest [revision]:: |
| 497 | 186 Print a list of version controlled files for the given revision. |
| 187 | |
| 188 The manifest is the list of files being version controlled. If no revision | |
| 189 is given then the tip is used. | |
| 438 | 190 |
| 191 parents:: | |
| 192 Print the working directory's parent revisions. | |
| 193 | |
| 194 pull <repository path>:: | |
| 498 | 195 Pull changes from a remote repository to a local one. |
| 497 | 196 |
| 498 | 197 This finds all changes from the repository at the specified path |
| 198 or URL and adds them to the local repository. By default, this | |
| 199 does not update the copy of the project in the working directory. | |
| 438 | 200 |
| 201 options: | |
| 202 -u, --update update the working directory to tip after pull | |
| 203 | |
| 204 push <destination>:: | |
| 497 | 205 Push changes from the local repository to the given destination. |
| 206 | |
| 498 | 207 This is the symmetrical operation for pull. It helps to move |
| 208 changes from the current repository to a different one. If the | |
| 209 destination is local this is identical to a pull in that directory | |
| 210 from the current one. | |
| 438 | 211 |
| 212 The other currently available push method is SSH. This requires an | |
| 213 accessible shell account on the destination machine and a copy of | |
| 214 hg in the remote path. Destinations are specified in the following | |
| 215 form: | |
| 216 | |
| 217 ssh://[user@]host[:port]/path | |
| 218 | |
| 219 rawcommit [-p -d -u -F -t -l]:: | |
| 497 | 220 Lowlevel commit, for use in helper scripts. |
| 221 | |
| 222 This command is not intended to be used by normal users, as it is | |
| 223 primarily useful for importing from other SCMs. | |

225 recover:: |

| 235 This only removes files from the current branch, not from the | |

| 252 status:: | |
| 438 | 253 Show changed files in the working directory. |
| 254 | |
| 497 | 255 The codes used to show the status of files are: |
| 256 | |
| 438 | 257 C = changed |
| 258 A = added | |
| 259 R = removed | |
| 260 ? = not tracked | |
| 261 | |
| 262 tag [-t <text> -d <datecode> -u <user>] <name> [revision]:: | |
| 497 | 263 Name a particular revision using <name>. |
| 264 | |
| 265 Tags are used to name particular revisions of the repository and are | |
| 266 very useful to compare different revision, to go back to significant | |
| 498 | 267 earlier versions or to mark branch points as releases, etc. |
| 497 | 268 |
| 498 | 269 If no revision is given, the tip is used. |
| 438 | 270 |
| 498 | 271 To facilitate version control, distribution, and merging of tags, |
| 272 they are stored as a file named ".hgtags" which is managed | |
| 273 similarly to other project files and can be hand-edited if | |
| 274 necessary. | |
| 275 | |
| 438 | 276 options: |
| 277 -t, --text <text> message for tag commit log entry | |
| 278 -d, --date <datecode> datecode for commit | |
| 279 -u, --user <user> user for commit | |
| 177 | 280 |
| 498 | 281 Note: Mercurial also has support for "local tags" that are not |
| 282 version-controlled or distributed which are stored in the .hg/hgrc | |
| 283 file. | |

| 373 or .hg/hgrc containing assignments of names to paths. Example: | |
| 438 | 374 |
| 487 | 375 ----------------- |

| 498 | 382 LOCAL TAGS |
| 383 ---------- | |
| 384 | |
| 385 To create tags that are local to the repository and not distributed or | |
| 386 version-controlled, create an hgrc section like the following: | |
| 387 | |
| 388 ---------------- | |
| 389 [tags] | |
| 390 working = 2dcced388cab3677a8f543c3c47a0ad34ac9d435 | |
| 391 tested = 12e0fdbc57a0be78f0e817fd1d170a3615cd35da | |

| 487 | 395 HOOKS |
| 396 ----- | |
| 397 | |
| 398 Mercurial supports a set of 'hook', commands that get automatically | |
| 399 executed by various actions such as starting or finishing a commit. To | |
| 400 specify a hook, simply create an hgrc section like the following: | |
| 401 | |
| 402 ----------------- | |
| 403 [hooks] | |
| 404 precommit = echo "this hook gets executed immediately before a commit" | |
| 405 commit = hg export $NODE | mail -s "new commit $NODE" commit-list | |
| 406 ----------------- | |

| 321 | 409 NON_TRANSPARENT PROXY SUPPORT |
| 438 | 410 ----------------------------- |
| 321 | 411 |
| 487 | 412 To access a Mercurial repository through a proxy, create a file |
| 413 $HOME/.hgrc in the following format: | |
| 321 | 414 |
| 487 | 415 -------------- |
| 321 | 416 [http_proxy] |
| 417 host=myproxy:8080 | |
| 418 user=<username> | |
| 419 passwd=<password> | |
| 420 no=<localhost1>,<localhost2>,<localhost3>,... | |
| 487 | 421 -------------- |
| 321 | 422 |
| 498 | 423 "user" and "passwd" fields are used for authenticating proxies, "no" is a |
| 424 comma-separated list of local host names to not proxy. | |
