COMMANDS

   Repository creation
   clone
       make a copy of an existing repository:

       hg clone [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST]

       Create a copy of an existing repository in a new directory.

       If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the basename of the source.

       The  location of the source is added to the new repository's .hg/hgrc file, as the default
       to be used for future pulls.

       Only local paths and ssh:// URLs are supported as destinations. For  ssh://  destinations,
       no working directory or .hg/hgrc will be created on the remote side.

       If  the source repository has a bookmark called '@' set, that revision will be checked out
       in the new repository by default.

       To check out a particular version, use -u/--update, or -U/--noupdate  to  create  a  clone
       with no working directory.

       To  pull  only  a  subset  of  changesets,  specify one or more revisions identifiers with
       -r/--rev or branches with -b/--branch. The resulting clone will contain only the specified
       changesets and their ancestors. These options (or 'clone src#rev dest') imply --pull, even
       for local source repositories.

       In normal clone mode, the remote normalizes repository data into a common exchange  format
       and  the  receiving  end  translates  this  data  into  its local storage format. --stream
       activates a different clone mode that essentially copies repository files from the  remote
       with  minimal  data  processing.  This  significantly reduces the CPU cost of a clone both
       remotely and locally.  However, it often increases the transferred data  size  by  30-40%.
       This  can  result  in  substantially  faster  clones  where  I/O  throughput is plentiful,
       especially for larger repositories. A side-effect  of  --stream  clones  is  that  storage
       settings  and  requirements on the remote are applied locally: a modern client may inherit
       legacy or inefficient storage used by the remote or a legacy Mercurial client may  not  be
       able to clone from a modern Mercurial remote.

       Note   Specifying a tag will include the tagged changeset but not the changeset containing
              the tag.

       For efficiency, hardlinks are used for cloning whenever the source and destination are  on
       the  same  filesystem  (note  this applies only to the repository data, not to the working
       directory). Some filesystems, such as AFS, implement hardlinking incorrectly, but  do  not
       report errors. In these cases, use the --pull option to avoid hardlinking.

       Mercurial  will  update  the  working directory to the first applicable revision from this
       list:

       a. null if -U or the source repository has no changesets

       b. if -u . and the source repository is local, the first parent of the source repository's
          working directory

       c. the  changeset  specified with -u (if a branch name, this means the latest head of that
          branch)

       d. the changeset specified with -r

       e. the tipmost head specified with -b

       f. the tipmost head specified with the url#branch source syntax

       g. the revision marked with the '@' bookmark, if present

       h. the tipmost head of the default branch

       i. tip

       When cloning from servers that support it, Mercurial may fetch pre-generated data  from  a
       server-advertised  URL  or inline from the same stream. When this is done, hooks operating
       on  incoming  changesets  and  changegroups  may  fire  more  than  once,  once  for  each
       pre-generated  bundle and as well as for any additional remaining data. In addition, if an
       error occurs, the repository may be rolled back to a  partial  clone.  This  behavior  may
       change in future releases.  See hg help -e clonebundles for more.

       Examples:

       • clone a remote repository to a new directory named hg/:

         hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/

       • create a lightweight local clone:

         hg clone project/ project-feature/

       • clone from an absolute path on an ssh server (note double-slash):

         hg clone ssh://user@server//home/projects/alpha/

       • do a streaming clone while checking out a specified version:

         hg clone --stream http://server/repo -u 1.5

       • create a repository without changesets after a particular revision:

         hg clone -r 04e544 experimental/ good/

       • clone (and track) a particular named branch:

         hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/#stable

       See hg help urls for details on specifying URLs.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -U, --noupdate
              the clone will include an empty working directory (only a repository)

       -u,--updaterev <REV>
              revision, tag, or branch to check out

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              do not clone everything, but include this changeset and its ancestors

       -b,--branch <BRANCH[+]>
              do not clone everything, but include this branch's changesets and their ancestors

       --pull use pull protocol to copy metadata

       --uncompressed
              an alias to --stream (DEPRECATED)

       --stream
              clone with minimal data processing

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   init
       create a new repository in the given directory:

       hg init [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [DEST]

       Initialize a new repository in the given directory. If the given directory does not exist,
       it will be created.

       If no directory is given, the current directory is used.

       It is possible to specify an ssh:// URL as the destination.  See  hg  help  urls for  more
       information.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

   Remote repository management
   incoming
       show new changesets found in source:

       hg incoming [-p] [-n] [-M] [-f] [-r REV]... [--bundle FILENAME] [SOURCE]

       Show  new  changesets  found in the specified path/URL or the default pull location. These
       are the changesets that would have been pulled by hg pull at  the  time  you  issued  this
       command.

       See pull for valid source format details.

       With   -B/--bookmarks,  the  result  of  bookmark  comparison  between  local  and  remote
       repositories is displayed. With -v/--verbose, status is also displayed for  each  bookmark
       like below:

       BM1               01234567890a added
       BM2               1234567890ab advanced
       BM3               234567890abc diverged
       BM4               34567890abcd changed

       The action taken locally when pulling depends on the status of each bookmark:

       added

              pull will create it

       advanced

              pull will update it

       diverged

              pull will create a divergent bookmark

       changed

              result depends on remote changesets

       From  the  point  of  view  of  pulling  behavior,  bookmark  existing  only in the remote
       repository are treated as added, even if it is in fact locally deleted.

       For remote repository, using --bundle avoids  downloading  the  changesets  twice  if  the
       incoming is followed by a pull.

       Examples:

       • show incoming changes with patches and full description:

         hg incoming -vp

       • show incoming changes excluding merges, store a bundle:

         hg in -vpM --bundle incoming.hg
         hg pull incoming.hg

       • briefly list changes inside a bundle:

         hg in changes.hg -T "{desc|firstline}\n"

       Returns 0 if there are incoming changes, 1 otherwise.

       Options:

       -f, --force
              run even if remote repository is unrelated

       -n, --newest-first
              show newest record first

       --bundle <FILE>
              file to store the bundles into

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              a remote changeset intended to be added

       -B, --bookmarks
              compare bookmarks

       -b,--branch <BRANCH[+]>
              a specific branch you would like to pull

       -p, --patch
              show patch

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format

       -l,--limit <NUM>
              limit number of changes displayed

       -M, --no-merges
              do not show merges

       --stat output diffstat-style summary of changes

       -G, --graph
              show the revision DAG

       --style <STYLE>
              display using template map file (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

          aliases: in

   outgoing
       show changesets not found in the destination:

       hg outgoing [-M] [-p] [-n] [-f] [-r REV]... [DEST]...

       Show  changesets  not  found  in  the specified destination repository or the default push
       location. These are the changesets that would be pushed if a push was requested.

       See pull for details of valid destination formats.

       With  -B/--bookmarks,  the  result  of  bookmark  comparison  between  local  and   remote
       repositories  is  displayed. With -v/--verbose, status is also displayed for each bookmark
       like below:

       BM1               01234567890a added
       BM2                            deleted
       BM3               234567890abc advanced
       BM4               34567890abcd diverged
       BM5               4567890abcde changed

       The action taken when pushing depends on the status of each bookmark:

       added

              push with -B will create it

       deleted

              push with -B will delete it

       advanced

              push will update it

       diverged

              push with -B will update it

       changed

              push with -B will update it

       From the point of view  of  pushing  behavior,  bookmarks  existing  only  in  the  remote
       repository are treated as deleted, even if it is in fact added remotely.

       Returns 0 if there are outgoing changes, 1 otherwise.

       Options:

       -f, --force
              run even when the destination is unrelated

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              a changeset intended to be included in the destination

       -n, --newest-first
              show newest record first

       -B, --bookmarks
              compare bookmarks

       -b,--branch <BRANCH[+]>
              a specific branch you would like to push

              limit number of changes displayed

       -M, --no-merges
              do not show merges

       --stat output diffstat-style summary of changes

       -G, --graph
              show the revision DAG

       --style <STYLE>

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

          aliases: out

   paths
       show aliases for remote repositories:

       hg paths [NAME]

       Show  definition  of  symbolic path name NAME. If no name is given, show definition of all
       available names.

       Option -q/--quiet suppresses all output when searching for NAME and shows  only  the  path
       names when listing all definitions.

       Path  names  are  defined  in  the  [paths]  section  of  your  configuration  file and in
       /etc/mercurial/hgrc. If run inside a repository, .hg/hgrc is used, too.

       The path names default and default-push have a special meaning.  When performing a push or
       pull  operation,  they  are  used  as  fallbacks  if  no  location  is  specified  on  the
       command-line.  When default-push is set, it will be used for push and default will be used
       for  pull; otherwise default is used as the fallback for both.  When cloning a repository,
       the clone source is written as default in .hg/hgrc.

       Note   default and default-push apply to all inbound  (e.g.   hg  incoming)  and  outbound
              (e.g. hg outgoing, hg email and hg bundle) operations.

       See hg help urls for more information.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported. See also hg help templates.

       name   String. Symbolic name of the path alias.

       pushurl
              String. URL for push operations.

       url    String. URL or directory path for the other operations.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   pull
       pull changes from the specified source:

       hg pull [-u] [-f] [-r REV]... [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [SOURCE]...

       Pull changes from a remote repository to a local one.

       This finds all changes from the repository at the specified path or URL and adds them to a
       local repository (the current one unless -R is  specified).  By  default,  this  does  not
       update the copy of the project in the working directory.

       When  cloning  from  servers that support it, Mercurial may fetch pre-generated data. When
       this is done, hooks operating on incoming changesets and changegroups may fire  more  than
       once, once for each pre-generated bundle and as well as for any additional remaining data.
       See hg help -e clonebundles for more.

       Use hg incoming if you want to see what would have been added by a pull at  the  time  you
       issued this command. If you then decide to add those changes to the repository, you should
       use hg pull -r X where X is the last changeset listed by hg incoming.

       If SOURCE is omitted, the 'default'  path  will  be  used.   See  hg  help  urls for  more
       information.

       If  multiple sources are specified, they will be pulled sequentially as if the command was
       run multiple time. If --update is specify and the command will stop at  the  first  failed
       --update.

       Specifying bookmark as . is equivalent to specifying the active bookmark's name.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if an update had unresolved files.

       Options:

       -u, --update
              update to new branch head if new descendants were pulled

       -f, --force
              run even when remote repository is unrelated

       --confirm
              confirm pull before applying changes

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              a remote changeset intended to be added

       -B,--bookmark <BOOKMARK[+]>
              bookmark to pull

       -b,--branch <BRANCH[+]>
              a specific branch you would like to pull

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   push
       push changes to the specified destination:

       hg push [-f] [-r REV]... [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [DEST]...

       Push changesets from the local repository to the specified destination.

       This  operation  is  symmetrical  to  pull:  it  is identical to a pull in the destination
       repository from the current one.

       By default, push will not allow creation of new heads at the destination,  since  multiple
       heads  would  make  it  unclear which head to use. In this situation, it is recommended to
       pull and merge before pushing.

       Use --new-branch if you want to allow push to create  a  new  named  branch  that  is  not
       present  at  the  destination. This allows you to only create a new branch without forcing
       other changes.

       Note   Extra care should be taken with the -f/--force option,  which  will  push  all  new
              heads  on  all  branches,  an  action  which will almost always cause confusion for
              collaborators.

       If -r/--rev is used, the specified revision and all its ancestors will be  pushed  to  the
       remote repository.

       If  -B/--bookmark  is  used,  the  specified  bookmarked  revision, its ancestors, and the
       bookmark will be pushed to the remote repository. Specifying . is equivalent to specifying
       the  active  bookmark's  name.  Use  the  --all-bookmarks  option  for pushing all current
       bookmarks.

       Please see hg help urls for  important  details  about  ssh://  URLs.  If  DESTINATION  is
       omitted, a default path will be used.

       When  passed  multiple  destinations, push will process them one after the other, but stop
       should an error occur.

       The --pushvars option sends strings  to  the  server  that  become  environment  variables
       prepended  with  HG_USERVAR_.  For  example,  --pushvars ENABLE_FEATURE=true, provides the
       server side hooks with HG_USERVAR_ENABLE_FEATURE=true as part of their environment.

       pushvars can provide for user-overridable hooks as well as set debug levels.  One  example
       is  having a hook that blocks commits containing conflict markers, but enables the user to
       override the hook if the file is using conflict markers for testing purposes or  the  file
       format has strings that look like conflict markers.

       By  default,  servers  will  ignore  --pushvars.  To  enable  it add the following to your
       configuration file:

       [push]
       pushvars.server = true

       Returns 0 if push was successful, 1 if nothing to push.

       Options:

       -f, --force
              force push

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   serve
       start stand-alone webserver:

       hg serve [OPTION]...

       Start a local HTTP repository browser and pull server. You can use this for ad-hoc sharing
       and  browsing  of  repositories.  It  is  recommended  to use a real web server to serve a
       repository for longer periods of time.

       Please note that the server does not  implement  access  control.   This  means  that,  by
       default,  anybody  can read from the server and nobody can write to it by default. Set the
       web.allow-push option to * to allow everybody to push to the server. You should use a real
       web server if you need to authenticate users.

       By   default,  the  server  logs  accesses  to  stdout  and  errors  to  stderr.  Use  the
       -A/--accesslog and -E/--errorlog options to log to files.

       To have the server choose a free port number to listen on, specify a port number of 0;  in
       this case, the server will print the port number it uses.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -A,--accesslog <FILE>
              name of access log file to write to

       -d, --daemon
              run server in background

       -E,--errorlog <FILE>
              name of error log file to write to

       -p,--port <PORT>
              port to listen on (default: 8000)

       -a,--address <ADDR>
              address to listen on (default: all interfaces)

       --prefix <PREFIX>
              prefix path to serve from (default: server root)

       -n,--name <NAME>
              name to show in web pages (default: working directory)

              recurse into subrepositories

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   Change creation
   commit
       commit the specified files or all outstanding changes:

       hg commit [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Commit  changes  to  the  given  files into the repository. Unlike a centralized SCM, this
       operation is a local operation. See hg push for a way to actively distribute your changes.

       If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by hg status will be committed.

       If you are committing the result of a  merge,  do  not  provide  any  filenames  or  -I/-X
       filters.

       If  no  commit message is specified, Mercurial starts your configured editor where you can
       enter a message. In case your commit fails, you will find a  backup  of  your  message  in
       .hg/last-message.txt.

       The --close-branch flag can be used to mark the current branch head closed. When all heads
       of a branch are closed, the branch will be considered closed and no longer listed.

       The --amend flag can be used to amend the parent of  the  working  directory  with  a  new
       commit  that contains the changes in the parent in addition to those currently reported by
       hg  status,  if  there  are  any.  The  old  commit  is  stored  in  a  backup  bundle  in
       .hg/strip-backup (see hg help bundle and hg help unbundle on how to restore it).

       Message,  user and date are taken from the amended commit unless specified. When a message
       isn't specified on the command line, the editor will open with the message of the  amended
       commit.

       It is not possible to amend public changesets (see hg help phases) or changesets that have
       children.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if nothing changed.

       Examples:

       • commit all files ending in .py:

         hg commit --include "set:**.py"

       • commit all non-binary files:

         hg commit --exclude "set:binary()"

       • amend the current commit and set the date to now:

         hg commit --amend --date now

       Options:

       -A, --addremove
              mark new/missing files as added/removed before committing

       --close-branch
              mark a branch head as closed

       --amend
              amend the parent of the working directory

       -s, --secret

   Change manipulation
   abort
       abort an unfinished operation (EXPERIMENTAL):

       hg abort

       Aborts a multistep operation like graft, histedit, rebase, merge, and unshelve if they are
       in an unfinished state.

       use --dry-run/-n to dry run the command.

       Options:

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

   backout
       reverse effect of earlier changeset:

       hg backout [OPTION]... [-r] REV

       Prepare a new changeset with the effect of REV undone in the current working directory. If
       no conflicts were encountered, it will be committed immediately.

       If REV is the parent of the working  directory,  then  this  new  changeset  is  committed
       automatically (unless --no-commit is specified).

       Note   hg backout cannot be used to fix either an unwanted or incorrect merge.

       Examples:

       • Reverse  the  effect  of  the  parent  of  the  working directory.  This backout will be
         committed immediately:

         hg backout -r .

       • Reverse the effect of previous bad revision 23:

         hg backout -r 23

       • Reverse the effect of previous bad revision 23 and leave changes uncommitted:

         hg backout -r 23 --no-commit
         hg commit -m "Backout revision 23"

       By default, the pending changeset will have one parent, maintaining a linear history. With
       --merge,  the  pending  changeset  will  instead  have  two parents: the old parent of the
       working directory and a new child of REV that simply undoes REV.

       Before version 1.7, the behavior without --merge  was  equivalent  to  specifying  --merge
       followed  by  hg update --clean . to cancel the merge and leave the child of REV as a head
       to be merged separately.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       See hg help revert for a way to restore files to the state of another revision.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if nothing to backout or there are unresolved files.

       Options:

       --merge
              merge with old dirstate parent after backout

       --commit
              commit if no conflicts were encountered (DEPRECATED)

       --no-commit
              do not commit

       --parent <REV>
              parent to choose when backing out merge (DEPRECATED)

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision to backout

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -t,--tool <TOOL>
              specify merge tool

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -m,--message <TEXT>

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   continue
       resumes an interrupted operation (EXPERIMENTAL):

       hg continue

       Finishes a multistep operation like graft, histedit, rebase, merge, and unshelve  if  they
       are in an interrupted state.

       use --dry-run/-n to dry run the command.

       Options:

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

   graft
       copy changes from other branches onto the current branch:

       hg graft [OPTION]... [-r REV]... REV...

       This  command  uses Mercurial's merge logic to copy individual changes from other branches
       without merging branches in the history graph. This is sometimes known as 'backporting' or
       'cherry-picking'.  By default, graft will copy user, date, and description from the source
       changesets.

       Changesets that are ancestors of the current revision, that have already been grafted,  or
       that are merges will be skipped.

       If --log is specified, log messages will have a comment appended of the form:

       (grafted from CHANGESETHASH)

       If  --force is specified, revisions will be grafted even if they are already ancestors of,
       or have been grafted to, the destination.  This is useful when the  revisions  have  since
       been backed out.

       If  a  graft  merge  results  in  conflicts,  the graft process is interrupted so that the
       current merge can be manually resolved.  Once  all  conflicts  are  addressed,  the  graft
       process can be continued with the -c/--continue option.

       The -c/--continue option reapplies all the earlier options.

       The  --base  option  exposes  more  of  how graft internally uses merge with a custom base
       revision. --base can be used to specify another ancestor than the first and only parent.

       The command:

       hg graft -r 345 --base 234

       is thus pretty much the same as:

       hg diff --from 234 --to 345 | hg import

       but using merge to resolve conflicts and track moved files.

       The result of a merge can thus be backported as a single commit by specifying one  of  the
       merge parents as base, and thus effectively grafting the changes from the other side.

       It  is  also  possible  to collapse multiple changesets and clean up history by specifying
       another ancestor as base, much like rebase --collapse --keep.

       The commit message can be tweaked after the fact using commit --amend .

       For using non-ancestors as the base to backout changes, see the backout  command  and  the
       hidden --parent option.

       Examples:

       • copy a single change to the stable branch and edit its description:

         hg update stable
         hg graft --edit 9393

       • graft a range of changesets with one exception, updating dates:

         hg graft -D "2085::2093 and not 2091"

       • continue a graft after resolving conflicts:

         hg graft -c

       • show the source of a grafted changeset:

         hg log --debug -r .

       • show revisions sorted by date:

         hg log -r "sort(all(), date)"

       • backport the result of a merge as a single commit:

         hg graft -r 123 --base 123^

       • land a feature branch as one changeset:

         hg up -cr default
         hg graft -r featureX --base "ancestor('featureX', 'default')"

       See hg help revisions for more about specifying revisions.

       Returns 0 on successful completion, 1 if there are unresolved files.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              revisions to graft

       --base <REV>
              base revision when doing the graft merge (ADVANCED)

       -c, --continue
              resume interrupted graft

       --stop stop interrupted graft

       --abort
              abort interrupted graft

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       --log  append graft info to log message

       --no-commit
              don't commit, just apply the changes in working directory

       -f, --force
              force graft

       -D, --currentdate
              record the current date as commit date

       -U, --currentuser

       -t,--tool <TOOL>
              specify merge tool

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   merge
       merge another revision into working directory:

       hg merge [-P] [[-r] REV]

       The  current  working directory is updated with all changes made in the requested revision
       since the last common predecessor revision.

       Files that changed between either parent are marked as changed for the next commit  and  a
       commit  must  be  performed  before any further updates to the repository are allowed. The
       next commit will have two parents.

       --tool can be used to specify the merge tool  used  for  file  merges.  It  overrides  the
       HGMERGE  environment  variable  and  your configuration files. See hg help merge-tools for
       options.

       If no revision is specified, the working directory's parent is a head  revision,  and  the
       current  branch contains exactly one other head, the other head is merged with by default.
       Otherwise, an explicit revision with which to merge must be provided.

       See hg help resolve for information on handling file conflicts.

       To undo an uncommitted merge, use hg merge --abort which will check out a  clean  copy  of
       the original merge parent, losing all changes.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if there are unresolved files.

       Options:

       -f, --force
              force a merge including outstanding changes (DEPRECATED)

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision to merge

       -P, --preview
              review revisions to merge (no merge is performed)

       --abort
              abort the ongoing merge

       -t,--tool <TOOL>
              specify merge tool

   Change organization
   bookmarks
       create a new bookmark or list existing bookmarks:

       hg bookmarks [OPTIONS]... [NAME]...

       Bookmarks  are  labels  on  changesets  to help track lines of development.  Bookmarks are
       unversioned and can be moved, renamed and deleted.  Deleting or moving a bookmark  has  no
       effect on the associated changesets.

       Creating  or  updating  to  a  bookmark  causes  it  to be marked as 'active'.  The active
       bookmark is indicated with a '*'.  When a commit is made, the active bookmark will advance
       to  the  new commit.  A plain hg update will also advance an active bookmark, if possible.
       Updating away from a bookmark will cause it to be deactivated.

       Bookmarks can be pushed and pulled between repositories (see hg help push and hg help pull
       ).  If  a shared bookmark has diverged, a new 'divergent bookmark' of the form 'name@path'
       will be created. Using hg merge will resolve the divergence.

       Specifying bookmark as '.' to -m/-d/-l options is  equivalent  to  specifying  the  active
       bookmark's name.

       A  bookmark  named '@' has the special property that hg clone will check it out by default
       if it exists.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions such as {bookmark}. See also hg help templates.

       active Boolean. True if the bookmark is active.

       Examples:

       • create an active bookmark for a new line of development:

         hg book new-feature

       • create an inactive bookmark as a place marker:

         hg book -i reviewed

       • create an inactive bookmark on another changeset:

         hg book -r .^ tested

       • rename bookmark turkey to dinner:

         hg book -m turkey dinner

       • move the '@' bookmark from another branch:

         hg book -f @

       • print only the active bookmark name:

         hg book -ql .

       Options:

       -f, --force
              force

       -r,--rev <REV>

       -d, --delete
              delete a given bookmark

       -m,--rename <OLD>
              rename a given bookmark

       -i, --inactive
              mark a bookmark inactive

       -l, --list

   branch
       set or show the current branch name:

       hg branch [-fC] [NAME]

       Note   Branch  names  are  permanent  and global. Use hg bookmark to create a light-weight
              bookmark instead. See hg help glossary for more information  about  named  branches
              and bookmarks.

       With  no  argument,  show  the  current  branch  name.  With one argument, set the working
       directory branch name (the branch will not exist in the repository until the next commit).
       Standard practice recommends that primary development take place on the 'default' branch.

       Unless  -f/--force  is  specified,  branch will not let you set a branch name that already
       exists.

       Use -C/--clean to reset the working directory branch to that of the parent of the  working
       directory, negating a previous branch change.

       Use the command hg update to switch to an existing branch. Use hg commit --close-branch to
       mark this branch head as closed.  When all heads of a branch are closed, the  branch  will
       be considered closed.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -f, --force
              set branch name even if it shadows an existing branch

       -C, --clean
              reset branch name to parent branch name

       -r,--rev <VALUE[+]>

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   branches
       list repository named branches:

       hg branches [-c]

       List  the  repository's named branches, indicating which ones are inactive. If -c/--closed
       is  specified,  also  list  branches  which  have  been  marked  closed  (see  hg   commit
       --close-branch).

       Use the command hg update to switch to an existing branch.

       Template:

       The  following  keywords  are  supported  in  addition to the common template keywords and
       functions such as {branch}. See also hg help templates.

       active Boolean. True if the branch is active.

       closed Boolean. True if the branch is closed.

       current
              Boolean. True if it is the current branch.

       Returns 0.

       Options:

       -a, --active
              show only branches that have unmerged heads (DEPRECATED)

       -c, --closed
              show normal and closed branches

       -r,--rev <VALUE[+]>

       hg phase [-p|-d|-s] [-f] [-r] [REV...]

       With no argument, show the phase name of the current revision(s).

       With one of -p/--public,  -d/--draft  or  -s/--secret,  change  the  phase  value  of  the
       specified revisions.

       Unless  -f/--force  is  specified,  hg phase won't move changesets from a lower phase to a
       higher phase. Phases are ordered as follows:

       public < draft < secret

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if some phases could not be changed.

       (For more information about the phases concept, see hg help phases.)

       Options:

       -p, --public
              set changeset phase to public

       -d, --draft
              set changeset phase to draft

       -s, --secret
              set changeset phase to secret

       -f, --force
              allow to move boundary backward

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              target revision

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   tag
       add one or more tags for the current or given revision:

       hg tag [-f] [-l] [-m TEXT] [-d DATE] [-u USER] [-r REV] NAME...

       Name a particular revision using <name>.

       Tags are used to name particular revisions of  the  repository  and  are  very  useful  to
       compare  different revisions, to go back to significant earlier versions or to mark branch
       points as releases, etc. Changing an existing tag is normally disallowed;  use  -f/--force
       to override.

       If no revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used.

       To  facilitate  version  control,  distribution, and merging of tags, they are stored as a
       file named ".hgtags" which is  managed  similarly  to  other  project  files  and  can  be
       hand-edited  if  necessary.  This  also  means that tagging creates a new commit. The file
       ".hg/localtags" is used for local tags (not shared among repositories).

       Tag commits are usually made at the head of  a  branch.  If  the  parent  of  the  working
       directory  is  not a branch head, hg tag aborts; use -f/--force to force the tag commit to
       be based on a non-head changeset.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Since tag names have priority over branch names during revision lookup, using an  existing
       branch name as a tag name is discouraged.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -f, --force
              force tag

       -l, --local
              make the tag local

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision to tag

       --remove
              remove a tag

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

   tags
       list repository tags:

       hg tags

       This  lists  both  regular  and  local tags. When the -v/--verbose switch is used, a third
       column "local" is printed for local tags.  When the -q/--quiet switch is  used,  only  the
       tag name is printed.

       Template:

       The  following  keywords  are  supported  in  addition to the common template keywords and
       functions such as {tag}. See also hg help templates.

       type   String. local for local tags.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   File content management
   annotate
       show changeset information by line for each file:

       hg annotate [-r REV] [-f] [-a] [-u] [-d] [-n] [-c] [-l] FILE...

       List changes in files, showing the revision id responsible for each line.

       This command is useful for discovering when a change was made and by whom.

       If you include --file, --user, or --date, the revision number  is  suppressed  unless  you
       also include --number.

       Without  the  -a/--text option, annotate will avoid processing files it detects as binary.
       With -a, annotate will annotate the file anyway, although the  results  will  probably  be
       neither useful nor desirable.

       Template:

       The  following  keywords  are  supported  in  addition to the common template keywords and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       lines  List of lines with annotation data.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the specified file.

       And each entry of {lines} provides the  following  sub-keywords  in  addition  to  {date},
       {node}, {rev}, {user}, etc.

       line   String. Line content.

       lineno Integer. Line number at that revision.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the file at that revision.

       See hg help templates.operators for the list expansion syntax.

       Returns 0 on success.

   cat
       output the current or given revision of files:

       hg cat [OPTION]... FILE...

       Print the specified files as they were at the given revision. If no revision is given, the
       parent of the working directory is used.

       Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file  is  given  using  a  template
       string.  See hg help templates. In addition to the common template keywords, the following
       formatting rules are supported:

       %%

              literal "%" character

       %s

              basename of file being printed

       %d

       %b

              basename of the exporting repository

       \

              literal "" character

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       data   String. File content.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the file.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -o,--output <FORMAT>
              print output to file with formatted name

       -r,--rev <REV>
              print the given revision

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   copy
       mark files as copied for the next commit:

       hg copy [OPTION]... (SOURCE... DEST | --forget DEST...)

       Mark dest as having copies of source files. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that
       directory. If dest is a file, the source must be a single file.

       By default, this command copies the contents  of  files  as  they  exist  in  the  working
       directory.  If  invoked  with  -A/--after,  the  operation  is recorded, but no copying is
       performed.

       To undo marking a destination file as copied, use --forget. With that  option,  all  given
       (positional)  arguments  are  unmarked  as copies. The destination file(s) will be left in
       place (still tracked). Note that hg copy  --forget behaves  the  same  way  as  hg  rename
       --forget.

       This command takes effect with the next commit by default.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.

       Options:

       --forget
              unmark a destination file as copied

       -A, --after
              record a copy that has already occurred

       --at-rev <REV>
              (un)mark copies in the given revision (EXPERIMENTAL)

       -f, --force
              forcibly copy over an existing managed file

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   diff
       diff repository (or selected files):

       hg diff [OPTION]... ([-c REV] | [--from REV1] [--to REV2]) [FILE]...

       Show differences between revisions for the specified files.

       Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format.

       Note   hg diff may generate unexpected results for merges, as it will default to comparing
              against the  working  directory's  first  parent  changeset  if  no  revisions  are
              specified.    To   diff   against  the  conflict  regions,  you  can  use  --config
              diff.merge=yes.

       By default, the working directory files are compared to  its  first  parent.  To  see  the
       differences  from another revision, use --from. To see the difference to another revision,
       use --to. For example, hg diff --from .^ will show the differences from the working copy's
       grandparent  to  the working copy, hg diff --to . will show the diff from the working copy
       to its parent (i.e. the reverse of the default), and hg diff --from 1.0 --to 1.2 will show
       the diff between those two revisions.

       Alternatively  you  can  specify  -c/--change  with  a revision to see the changes in that
       changeset relative to its first parent (i.e. hg diff -c 42 is equivalent to hg diff --from
       42^ --to 42)

       Without  the  -a/--text  option,  diff  will avoid generating diffs of files it detects as
       binary. With -a, diff will generate a diff anyway, probably with undesirable results.

       Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in  the  git  extended  diff  format.  For  more
       information, read hg help diffs.

       Examples:

       • compare a file in the current working directory to its parent:

         hg diff foo.c

       • compare two historical versions of a directory, with rename info:

         hg diff --git --from 1.0 --to 1.2 lib/

       • get change stats relative to the last change on some date:

         hg diff --stat --from "date('may 2')"

       • diff all newly-added files that contain a keyword:

         hg diff "set:added() and grep(GNU)"

       • compare a revision and its parents:

         hg diff -c 9353                  # compare against first parent
         hg diff --from 9353^ --to 9353   # same using revset syntax
         hg diff --from 9353^2 --to 9353  # compare against the second parent

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              revision (DEPRECATED)

       --from <REV1>
              revision to diff from

       --to <REV2>
              revision to diff to

       -c,--change <REV>
              change made by revision

       -a, --text

              generate binary diffs in git mode (default)

       --nodates
              omit dates from diff headers

       --noprefix
              omit a/ and b/ prefixes from filenames

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   grep
       search for a pattern in specified files:

       hg grep [--diff] [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...

       Search the working directory or revision history for a regular expression in the specified
       files for the entire repository.

       By default, grep searches the repository files in the working  directory  and  prints  the
       files  where  it  finds  a  match.  To specify historical revisions instead of the working
       directory, use the --rev flag.

       To search instead historical revision differences that contains a change in  match  status
       ("-"  for  a match that becomes a non-match, or "+" for a non-match that becomes a match),
       use the --diff flag.

       PATTERN can be any Python (roughly Perl-compatible) regular expression.

       If no FILEs are specified and the --rev flag isn't supplied,  all  files  in  the  working
       directory  are  searched. When using the --rev flag and specifying FILEs, use the --follow
       argument to also follow the specified FILEs across renames and copies.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       change String.  Character  denoting  insertion  +  or  removal  -.  Available if --diff is
              specified.

       lineno Integer. Line number of the match.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the file.

       texts  List of text chunks.

       And each entry of {texts} provides the following sub-keywords.

       matched
              Boolean. True if the chunk matches the specified pattern.

       text   String. Chunk content.

       See hg help templates.operators for the list expansion syntax.

       Returns 0 if a match is found, 1 otherwise.

       Options:

       -0, --print0
              end fields with NUL

   Change navigation
   bisect
       subdivision search of changesets:

       hg bisect [-gbsr] [-U] [-c CMD] [REV]

       This command helps to find changesets which introduce problems. To use, mark the  earliest
       changeset  you  know  exhibits the problem as bad, then mark the latest changeset which is
       free from the problem as good. Bisect will update your working directory to a revision for
       testing  (unless  the  -U/--noupdate  option is specified). Once you have performed tests,
       mark the working directory as good or bad,  and  bisect  will  either  update  to  another
       candidate changeset or announce that it has found the bad revision.

       As  a  shortcut,  you can also use the revision argument to mark a revision as good or bad
       without checking it out first.

       If you supply a command, it  will  be  used  for  automatic  bisection.   The  environment
       variable HG_NODE will contain the ID of the changeset being tested. The exit status of the
       command will be used to mark revisions as good or bad: status 0 means good, 125  means  to
       skip  the  revision,  127  (command  not  found)  will  abort the bisection, and any other
       non-zero exit status means the revision is bad.

       Some examples:

       • start a bisection with known bad revision 34, and good revision 12:

         hg bisect --bad 34
         hg bisect --good 12

       • advance the current bisection by marking current revision as good or bad:

         hg bisect --good
         hg bisect --bad

       • mark the current revision, or a known revision, to be skipped (e.g. if that revision  is
         not usable because of another issue):

         hg bisect --skip
         hg bisect --skip 23

       • skip all revisions that do not touch directories foo or bar:

         hg bisect --skip "!( file('path:foo') & file('path:bar') )"

       • forget the current bisection:

         hg bisect --reset

       • use 'make && make tests' to automatically find the first broken revision:

         hg bisect --reset
         hg bisect --bad 34
         hg bisect --good 12
         hg bisect --command "make && make tests"

       • see all changesets whose states are already known in the current bisection:

         hg log -r "bisect(pruned)"

       • see   the  changeset  currently  being  bisected  (especially  useful  if  running  with
         -U/--noupdate):

         hg log -r "bisect(current)"

       • see all changesets that took part in the current bisection:

         hg log -r "bisect(range)"

       • you can even get a nice graph:

         hg log --graph -r "bisect(range)"

       See hg help revisions.bisect for more about the bisect() predicate.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -r, --reset
              reset bisect state

       -g, --good

       generally takes place and are the usual targets for update and merge operations.

       If one or more REVs are given, only open branch heads on the branches associated with  the
       specified changesets are shown. This means that you can use hg heads . to see the heads on
       the currently checked-out branch.

       If -c/--closed is  specified,  also  show  branch  heads  marked  closed  (see  hg  commit
       --close-branch).

       If  STARTREV  is  specified,  only  those  heads  that are descendants of STARTREV will be
       displayed.

       If -t/--topo is specified, named branch mechanics will be  ignored  and  only  topological
       heads (changesets with no children) will be shown.

       Returns 0 if matching heads are found, 1 if not.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <STARTREV>
              show only heads which are descendants of STARTREV

       -t, --topo
              show topological heads only

       -a, --active
              show active branchheads only (DEPRECATED)

       -c, --closed
              show normal and closed branch heads

       --style <STYLE>
              display using template map file (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   identify
       identify the working directory or specified revision:

       hg identify [-nibtB] [-r REV] [SOURCE]

       Print  a  summary  identifying  the  repository  state at REV using one or two parent hash
       identifiers, followed by a "+" if the  working  directory  has  uncommitted  changes,  the
       branch name (if not default), a list of tags, and a list of bookmarks.

       When  REV  is  not given, print a summary of the current state of the repository including
       the working directory. Specify -r. to get information  of  the  working  directory  parent
       without scanning uncommitted changes.

       Specifying a path to a repository root or Mercurial bundle will cause lookup to operate on
       that repository/bundle.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       dirty  String. Character + denoting if the working directory has uncommitted changes.

       id     String. One or two nodes, optionally followed by +.

       parents
              List of strings. Parent nodes of the changeset.

       Examples:

       • generate a build identifier for the working directory:

         hg id --id > build-id.dat

       • find the revision corresponding to a tag:

         hg id -n -r 1.3

       • check the most recent revision of a remote repository:

         hg id -r tip https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/

       See  hg  log for generating more information about specific revisions, including full hash
       identifiers.

       Returns 0 if successful.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              identify the specified revision

       -n, --num
              show local revision number

       -i, --id
              show global revision id

       -b, --branch
              show branch

       -t, --tags
              show tags

       -B, --bookmarks
              show bookmarks

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

          aliases: id

   log
       show revision history of entire repository or files:

       hg log [OPTION]... [FILE]

       Print the revision history of the specified files or the entire project.

       If no revision range is specified, the default is tip:0 unless --follow is set.

       File history is shown without following rename or copy history of files.  Use  -f/--follow
       with  a  filename to follow history across renames and copies. --follow without a filename
       will only show ancestors  of  the  starting  revisions.  The  starting  revisions  can  be
       specified by -r/--rev, which default to the working directory parent.

       By  default  this  command  prints  revision  number  and  changeset id, tags, non-trivial
       parents, user, date and time, and a summary for each commit. When the -v/--verbose  switch
       is used, the list of changed files and full commit message are shown.

       With --graph the revisions are shown as an ASCII art DAG with the most recent changeset at
       the top.  'o' is a changeset, '@' is a  working  directory  parent,  '%'  is  a  changeset
       involved  in  an  unresolved  merge conflict, '_' closes a branch, 'x' is obsolete, '*' is
       unstable, and '+' represents a fork where the changeset from the lines below is  a  parent
       of  the 'o' merge on the same line.  Paths in the DAG are represented with '|', '/' and so
       forth. ':' in place of a '|' indicates one or more revisions in a path are omitted.

       Use -L/--line-range FILE,M:N options to follow the history of lines from M to N  in  FILE.
       With  -p/--patch only diff hunks affecting specified line range will be shown. This option
       requires --follow; it can be specified multiple  times.  Currently,  this  option  is  not
       compatible with --graph. This option is experimental.

       Note   hg log --patch may generate unexpected diff output for merge changesets, as it will
              only compare the merge  changeset  against  its  first  parent.  Also,  only  files
              different from BOTH parents will appear in files:.

       Note   For  performance  reasons,  hg log FILE may omit duplicate changes made on branches
              and will not show removals or mode changes.  To  see  all  such  changes,  use  the
              --removed switch.

       Note   The  history  resulting  from  -L/--line-range options depends on diff options; for
              instance if white-spaces are ignored, respective changes with only white-spaces  in
              specified line range will not be listed.

       Some examples:

       • changesets with full descriptions and file lists:

         hg log -v

       • changesets ancestral to the working directory:

         hg log -f

       • last 10 commits on the current branch:

         hg log -l 10 -b .

       • changesets showing all modifications of a file, including removals:

         hg log --removed file.c

       • all changesets that touch a directory, with diffs, excluding merges:

         hg log -Mp lib/

       • all revision numbers that match a keyword:

         hg log -k bug --template "{rev}\n"

       • the full hash identifier of the working directory parent:

         hg log -r . --template "{node}\n"

       • list available log templates:

         hg log -T list

       • check if a given changeset is included in a tagged release:

         hg log -r "a21ccf and ancestor(1.9)"

       • find all changesets by some user in a date range:

         hg log -k alice -d "may 2008 to jul 2008"

       • summary of all changesets after the last tag:

         hg log -r "last(tagged())::" --template "{desc|firstline}\n"

       • changesets touching lines 13 to 23 for file.c:

         hg log -L file.c,13:23

       • changesets touching lines 13 to 23 for file.c and lines 2 to 6 of main.c with patch:

         hg log -L file.c,13:23 -L main.c,2:6 -p

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       See hg help revisions for more about specifying and ordering revisions.

       See  hg help templates for more about pre-packaged styles and specifying custom templates.
       The  default  template  used  by   the   log   command   can   be   customized   via   the
       command-templates.log configuration setting.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -f, --follow
              follow changeset history, or file history across copies and renames

          aliases: history

   parents
       show the parents of the working directory or revision (DEPRECATED):

       hg parents [-r REV] [FILE]

       Print  the  working directory's parent revisions. If a revision is given via -r/--rev, the
       parent of that revision will be printed.  If a file argument is  given,  the  revision  in
       which  the file was last changed (before the working directory revision or the argument to
       --rev if given) is printed.

       This command is equivalent to:

       hg log -r "p1()+p2()" or
       hg log -r "p1(REV)+p2(REV)" or
       hg log -r "max(::p1() and file(FILE))+max(::p2() and file(FILE))" or
       hg log -r "max(::p1(REV) and file(FILE))+max(::p2(REV) and file(FILE))"

       See hg summary and hg help revsets for related information.

       Returns 0 on success.

              display using template map file (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   tip
       show the tip revision (DEPRECATED):

       hg tip [-p] [-g]

       The tip revision (usually just called the tip) is the changeset most recently added to the
       repository (and therefore the most recently changed head).

       If  you  have  just  made  a  commit, that commit will be the tip. If you have just pulled
       changes from another repository, the tip of that repository becomes the current  tip.  The
       "tip" tag is special and cannot be renamed or assigned to a different changeset.

       This command is deprecated, please use hg heads instead.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -p, --patch
              show patch

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format

   Working directory management
   add
       add the specified files on the next commit:

       hg add [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Schedule files to be version controlled and added to the repository.

       The  files will be added to the repository at the next commit. To undo an add before that,
       see hg forget.

       If no names are given, add all files to the repository (except files matching .hgignore).

       Examples:

          • New (unknown) files are added automatically by hg add:

            $ ls
            foo.c
            $ hg status
            ? foo.c
            $ hg add
            adding foo.c
            $ hg status
            A foo.c

          • Specific files to be added can be specified:

            $ ls
            bar.c  foo.c
            $ hg status
            ? bar.c
            ? foo.c
            $ hg add bar.c
            $ hg status
            A bar.c
            ? foo.c

       Returns 0 if all files are successfully added.

       Options:

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   addremove
       add all new files, delete all missing files:

       hg addremove [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Add all new files and remove all missing files from the repository.

       Unless names are given, new files are ignored  if  they  match  any  of  the  patterns  in
       .hgignore. As with add, these changes take effect at the next commit.

       Use  the  -s/--similarity  option  to detect renamed files. This option takes a percentage
       between 0 (disabled) and 100 (files must be identical) as its parameter. With a  parameter
       greater  than  0, this compares every removed file with every added file and records those
       similar enough as renames. Detecting renamed files this way can be expensive. After  using
       this  option,  hg  status  -C can be used to check which files were identified as moved or
       renamed. If not specified, -s/--similarity defaults to 100 and only renames  of  identical
       files are detected.

       Examples:

          • A number of files (bar.c and foo.c) are new, while foobar.c has been removed (without
            using hg remove) from the repository:

            $ ls
            bar.c foo.c
            $ hg status
            ! foobar.c
            ? bar.c
            ? foo.c
            $ hg addremove
            adding bar.c
            adding foo.c
            removing foobar.c
            $ hg status
            A bar.c
            A foo.c
            R foobar.c

          • A file foobar.c was moved to foo.c without  using  hg  rename.   Afterwards,  it  was
            edited slightly:

            $ ls
            foo.c
            $ hg status
            ! foobar.c
            ? foo.c
            $ hg addremove --similarity 90
            removing foobar.c
            adding foo.c
            recording removal of foobar.c as rename to foo.c (94% similar)
            $ hg status -C
            A foo.c
              foobar.c
            R foobar.c

       Returns 0 if all files are successfully added.

       Options:

       -s,--similarity <SIMILARITY>
              guess renamed files by similarity (0<=s<=100)

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   files
       list tracked files:

       hg files [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Print  files  under  Mercurial  control in the working directory or specified revision for
       given files (excluding removed files).  Files can be specified as filenames or filesets.

       If no files are given to match, this command prints the names of all files under Mercurial
       control.

       Template:

       The  following  keywords  are  supported  in  addition to the common template keywords and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       flags  String. Character denoting file's symlink and executable bits.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the file.

       size   Integer. Size of the file in bytes.

       Examples:

       • list all files under the current directory:

         hg files .

       • shows sizes and flags for current revision:

         hg files -vr .

       • list all files named README:

         hg files -I "**/README"

       • list all binary files:

         hg files "set:binary()"

       • find files containing a regular expression:

         hg files "set:grep('bob')"

       • search tracked file contents with xargs and grep:

         hg files -0 | xargs -0 grep foo

       See hg help  patterns and  hg  help  filesets for  more  information  on  specifying  file
       patterns.

       Returns 0 if a match is found, 1 otherwise.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              search the repository as it is in REV

       -0, --print0
              end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   forget
       forget the specified files on the next commit:

       hg forget [OPTION]... FILE...

       Mark the specified files so they will no longer be tracked after the next commit.

       This  only removes files from the current branch, not from the entire project history, and
       it does not delete them from the working directory.

       To delete the file from the working directory, see hg remove.

       To undo a forget before the next commit, see hg add.

       Examples:

       • forget newly-added binary files:

         hg forget "set:added() and binary()"

       • forget files that would be excluded by .hgignore:

         hg forget "set:hgignore()"

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -i, --interactive
              use interactive mode

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   locate
       locate files matching specific patterns (DEPRECATED):

       hg locate [OPTION]... [PATTERN]...

       Print files under Mercurial control in the working directory whose names match  the  given
       patterns.

       By default, this command searches all directories in the working directory. To search just
       the current directory and its subdirectories, use "--include .".

       If no patterns are given to match, this command  prints  the  names  of  all  files  under
       Mercurial control in the working directory.

       If you want to feed the output of this command into the "xargs" command, use the -0 option
       to both this command and "xargs". This will avoid the problem of "xargs"  treating  single
       filenames that contain whitespace as multiple filenames.

       See hg help files for a more versatile command.

       Returns 0 if a match is found, 1 otherwise.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              search the repository as it is in REV

       -0, --print0
              end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs

       -f, --fullpath
              print complete paths from the filesystem root

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>

   purge
       removes files not tracked by Mercurial:

       hg purge [OPTION]... [DIR]...

       Delete  files not known to Mercurial. This is useful to test local and uncommitted changes
       in an otherwise-clean source tree.

       This means that purge will delete the following by default:

       • Unknown files: files marked with "?" by hg status

       • Empty directories: in fact Mercurial ignores directories unless they contain files under
         source control management

       But it will leave untouched:

       • Modified and unmodified tracked files

       • Ignored files (unless -i or --all is specified)

       • New files added to the repository (with hg add)

       The  --files  and  --dirs  options  can be used to direct purge to delete only files, only
       directories, or both. If neither option is given, both will be deleted.

       If directories are given on  the  command  line,  only  files  in  these  directories  are
       considered.

       Be  careful  with  purge, as you could irreversibly delete some files you forgot to add to
       the repository. If you only want to print the  list  of  files  that  this  program  would
       delete, use the --print option.

       Options:

       -a, --abort-on-err
              abort if an error occurs

       --all  purge ignored files too

       -i, --ignored
              purge only ignored files

       --dirs purge empty directories

       --files
              purge files

       -p, --print
              print filenames instead of deleting them

       -0, --print0
              end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs (implies -p/--print)

       --confirm
              ask before permanently deleting files

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>

   remove
       remove the specified files on the next commit:

       hg remove [OPTION]... FILE...

       Schedule the indicated files for removal from the current branch.

       This  command  schedules  the  files  to  be removed at the next commit.  To undo a remove
       before that, see hg revert. To undo added files, see hg forget.

       -A/--after can be used to remove only files that have already been deleted, -f/--force can
       be  used  to  force  deletion,  and -Af can be used to remove files from the next revision
       without deleting them from the working directory.

       The following table details the behavior of remove for different file states (columns) and
       option  combinations  (rows).  The  file states are Added [A], Clean [C], Modified [M] and
       Missing [!]  (as reported by hg status). The actions are Warn, Remove  (from  branch)  and
       Delete (from disk):

   rename
       rename files; equivalent of copy + remove:

       hg rename [OPTION]... SOURCE... DEST

       Mark dest as copies of sources; mark sources for deletion. If dest is a directory,  copies
       are put in that directory. If dest is a file, there can only be one source.

       By  default,  this  command  copies  the  contents  of  files as they exist in the working
       directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the  operation  is  recorded,  but  no  copying  is
       performed.

       To  undo  marking a destination file as renamed, use --forget. With that option, all given
       (positional) arguments are unmarked as renames. The destination file(s) will  be  left  in
       place  (still  tracked).  The  source  file(s)  will  not be restored. Note that hg rename
       --forget behaves the same way as hg copy --forget.

       This command takes effect with the next commit by default.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.

       Options:

       --forget
              unmark a destination file as renamed

       -A, --after
              record a rename that has already occurred

   resolve
       redo merges or set/view the merge status of files:

       hg resolve [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Merges with unresolved conflicts are often the result of non-interactive merging using the
       internal:merge configuration setting, or a command-line merge tool like diff3. The resolve
       command is used to manage the files involved in a merge, after hg merge has been run,  and
       before  hg  commit is  run (i.e. the working directory must have two parents). See hg help
       merge-tools for information on configuring merge tools.

       The resolve command can be used in the following ways:

       • hg resolve [--re-merge] [--tool TOOL] FILE...: attempt to re-merge the specified  files,
         discarding  any  previous  merge attempts. Re-merging is not performed for files already
         marked as resolved. Use --all/-a to select all unresolved files. --tool can be  used  to
         specify  the  merge  tool used for the given files. It overrides the HGMERGE environment
         variable and your configuration files.  Previous file contents are saved  with  a  .orig
         suffix.

       • hg  resolve  -m  [FILE]: mark a file as having been resolved (e.g. after having manually
         fixed-up the files). The default is to mark all unresolved files.

       • hg resolve -u [FILE]...: mark a file as unresolved. The default is to mark all  resolved
         files.

       • hg  resolve  -l: list files which had or still have conflicts.  In the printed list, U =
         unresolved and R = resolved.  You can use set:unresolved() or set:resolved()  to  filter
         the list. See hg help filesets for details.

       Note   Mercurial  will  not let you commit files with unresolved merge conflicts. You must
              use hg resolve -m ... before you can commit after a conflicting merge.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       mergestatus
              String. Character denoting merge conflicts, U or R.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the file.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if any files fail a resolve attempt.

       Options:

       -a, --all
              select all unresolved files

       -l, --list
              list state of files needing merge

       -m, --mark
              mark files as resolved

       -u, --unmark
              mark files as unresolved

       -n, --no-status
              hide status prefix

       --re-merge
              re-merge files

       -t,--tool <TOOL>
              specify merge tool

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

              display with template

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   revert
       restore files to their checkout state:

       hg revert [OPTION]... [-r REV] [NAME]...

       Note   To  check  out  earlier  revisions,  you  should  use  hg update REV.  To cancel an
              uncommitted merge (and lose your changes), use hg merge --abort.

       With no revision specified, revert the specified files or directories to the contents they
       had  in  the  parent  of the working directory.  This restores the contents of files to an
       unmodified state and unschedules adds,  removes,  copies,  and  renames.  If  the  working
       directory has two parents, you must explicitly specify a revision.

       Using  the  -r/--rev  or -d/--date options, revert the given files or directories to their
       states as of a specific revision. Because revert does not  change  the  working  directory
       parents, this will cause these files to appear modified. This can be helpful to "back out"
       some or all of an earlier change. See hg backout for a related method.

       Modified files are saved with a .orig suffix before reverting.  To disable these  backups,
       use  --no-backup.  It is possible to store the backup files in a custom directory relative
       to the root of the repository by setting the ui.origbackuppath configuration option.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       See hg help backout for a way to reverse the effect of an earlier changeset.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -a, --all
              revert all changes when no arguments given

       -d,--date <DATE>
              tipmost revision matching date

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revert to the specified revision

       -C, --no-backup
              do not save backup copies of files

       -i, --interactive
              interactively select the changes

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -n, --dry-run

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   root
       print the root (top) of the current working directory:

       hg root

       Print the root directory of the current repository.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       hgpath String. Path to the .hg directory.

       storepath
              String. Path to the directory holding versioned data.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   shelve
       save and set aside changes from the working directory:

       hg shelve [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Shelving  takes  files that "hg status" reports as not clean, saves the modifications to a
       bundle (a shelved change), and reverts the files  so  that  their  state  in  the  working
       directory becomes clean.

       To  restore  these  changes  to the working directory, using "hg unshelve"; this will work
       even if you switch to a different commit.

       When no files are specified, "hg shelve" saves all not-clean files. If specific  files  or
       directories are named, only changes to those files are shelved.

       In  bare  shelve  (when  no  files are specified, without interactive, include and exclude
       option), shelving remembers information if the working  directory  was  on  newly  created
       branch, in other words working directory was on different branch than its first parent. In
       this situation unshelving restores branch information to the working directory.

       Each shelved change has a name that makes it easier to find later.  The name of a  shelved
       change  defaults to being based on the active bookmark, or if there is no active bookmark,
       the current named branch.  To specify a different name, use --name.

       To see a list of existing shelved changes, use the --list option. For each shelved change,
       this will print its name, age, and description; use --patch or --stat for more details.

       To  delete  specific  shelved  changes,  use  --delete. To delete all shelved changes, use
       --cleanup.

       Options:

       -A, --addremove
              mark new/missing files as added/removed before shelving

       -u, --unknown
              store unknown files in the shelve

       --cleanup
              delete all shelved changes

       --date <DATE>
              shelve with the specified commit date

       -d, --delete
              delete the named shelved change(s)

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -k, --keep
              shelve, but keep changes in the working directory

       -l, --list
              list current shelves

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as shelve message

       -n,--name <NAME>
              use the given name for the shelved commit

       -p, --patch
              output patches for changes (provide the names of the shelved changes as  positional
              arguments)

       -i, --interactive
              interactive mode

       --stat output  diffstat-style summary of changes (provide the names of the shelved changes
              as positional arguments)

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   status
       show changed files in the working directory:

       hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Show status of files in the repository. If names are given,  only  files  that  match  are
       shown.  Files  that  are  clean or ignored or the source of a copy/move operation, are not
       listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored, -C/--copies or -A/--all are given.  Unless options
       described with "show only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used.

       Option  -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless explicitly requested
       with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.

       Note   hg status may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have changed or  a  merge
              has  occurred. The standard diff format does not report permission changes and diff
              only reports changes relative to one merge parent.

       If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision.  If two  revisions  are  given,
       the differences between them are shown. The --change option can also be used as a shortcut
       to list the changed files of a revision from its first parent.

       The codes used to show the status of files are:

       M = modified
       A = added
       R = removed
       C = clean
       ! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
       ? = not tracked
       I = ignored
         = origin of the previous file (with --copies)

       The -t/--terse option abbreviates the output by showing only the directory name if all the
       files in it share the same status. The option takes an argument indicating the statuses to
       abbreviate: 'm' for 'modified', 'a' for 'added', 'r' for 'removed', 'd' for 'deleted', 'u'
       for 'unknown', 'i' for 'ignored' and 'c' for clean.

       It abbreviates only those statuses which are passed. Note that clean and ignored files are
       not displayed with '--terse ic' unless the -c/--clean and -i/--ignored  options  are  also
       used.

       The  -v/--verbose  option shows information when the repository is in an unfinished merge,
       shelve, rebase state etc. You can have this behavior turned on by default by enabling  the
       commands.status.verbose option.

       You  can skip displaying some of these states by setting commands.status.skipstates to one
       or more of: 'bisect', 'graft', 'histedit', 'merge', 'rebase', or 'unshelve'.

       Template:

       The following keywords are supported in addition  to  the  common  template  keywords  and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       path   String. Repository-absolute path of the file.

       source String.  Repository-absolute  path  of  the  file  originated  from.   Available if
              --copies is specified.

       status String. Character denoting file's status.

       Examples:

       • show changes in the working directory relative to a changeset:

         hg status --rev 9353

       • show changes in the working directory relative to the current  directory  (see  hg  help
         patterns for more information):

         hg status re:

       • show all changes including copies in an existing changeset:

         hg status --copies --change 9353

       • get a NUL separated list of added files, suitable for xargs:

         hg status -an0

       • show  more  information  about  the  repository  status,  abbreviating  added,  removed,
         modified, deleted, and untracked paths:

       This generates a brief summary of the working directory state, including parents,  branch,
       commit status, phase and available updates.

       With  the  --remote  option,  this  will check the default paths for incoming and outgoing
       changes. This can be time-consuming.

   unshelve
       restore a shelved change to the working directory:

       hg unshelve [OPTION]... [[-n] SHELVED]

       This command accepts an optional name of a shelved change to restore. If  none  is  given,
       the most recent shelved change is used.

       If  a shelved change is applied successfully, the bundle that contains the shelved changes
       is moved to a backup location (.hg/shelve-backup).

       Since you can restore a shelved change on top of an arbitrary commit, it is possible  that
       unshelving  will  result  in  a  conflict  between  your  changes  and the commits you are
       unshelving onto. If this occurs, you must resolve the conflict,  then  use  --continue  to
       complete  the  unshelve  operation.  (The  bundle will not be moved until you successfully
       complete the unshelve.)

       (Alternatively, you can use --abort to abandon an unshelve that causes  a  conflict.  This
       reverts the unshelved changes, and leaves the bundle in place.)

       If bare shelved change (without interactive, include and exclude option) was done on newly
       created branch it would restore branch information to the working directory.

       After a successful unshelve, the shelved changes are stored in a  backup  directory.  Only
       the  N  most  recent  backups  are  kept. N defaults to 10 but can be overridden using the
       shelve.maxbackups configuration option.

       Timestamp in seconds is used to decide order of backups. More than maxbackups backups  are
       kept, if same timestamp prevents from deciding exact order of them, for safety.

       Selected  changes  can  be  unshelved  with  --interactive flag.  The working directory is
       updated with the selected changes, and only the unselected changes remain shelved.   Note:
       The  whole  shelve is applied to working directory first before running interactively. So,
       this  will  bring  up  all  the  conflicts  between  working  directory  and  the  shelve,
       irrespective of which changes will be unshelved.

       Options:

       -a, --abort
              abort an incomplete unshelve operation

       -c, --continue
              continue an incomplete unshelve operation

       -i, --interactive
              use interactive mode (EXPERIMENTAL)

       -k, --keep
              keep shelve after unshelving

       -n,--name <NAME>
              restore shelved change with given name

       -t,--tool <VALUE>
              specify merge tool

       --date <DATE>
              set date for temporary commits (DEPRECATED)

   update
       update working directory (or switch revisions):

       hg update [-C|-c|-m] [-d DATE] [[-r] REV]

       Update  the  repository's working directory to the specified changeset. If no changeset is
       specified, update to the tip of the current named branch and move the active bookmark (see
       hg help bookmarks).

       Update  sets  the  working  directory's parent revision to the specified changeset (see hg
       help parents).

       If the changeset is not a descendant or ancestor of the  working  directory's  parent  and
       there  are  uncommitted  changes,  the  update is aborted. With the -c/--check option, the
       working directory is checked for uncommitted changes;  if  none  are  found,  the  working
       directory is updated to the specified changeset.

       The  -C/--clean,  -c/--check,  and  -m/--merge options control what happens if the working
       directory contains uncommitted changes.  At most of one of them can be specified.

       1. If no option is specified, and if the requested changeset is an ancestor or  descendant
          of  the  working  directory's  parent,  the  uncommitted  changes  are  merged into the
          requested changeset and the  merged  result  is  left  uncommitted.  If  the  requested
          changeset  is  not  an  ancestor  or descendant (that is, it is on another branch), the
          update is aborted and the uncommitted changes are preserved.

       2. With the -m/--merge option, the update is allowed even if the  requested  changeset  is
          not an ancestor or descendant of the working directory's parent.

       3. With  the  -c/--check  option,  the  update  is aborted and the uncommitted changes are
          preserved.

       4. With the -C/--clean option, uncommitted changes are discarded and the working directory
          is updated to the requested changeset.

       To cancel an uncommitted merge (and lose your changes), use hg merge --abort.

       Use null as the changeset to remove the working directory (like hg clone -U).

       If you want to revert just one file to an older revision, use hg revert [-r REV] NAME.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if there are unresolved files.

       Options:

       -C, --clean
              discard uncommitted changes (no backup)

       -c, --check
              require clean working directory

       -m, --merge
              merge uncommitted changes

       -d,--date <DATE>
              tipmost revision matching date

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision

       -t,--tool <TOOL>
              specify merge tool

          aliases: up checkout co

   Change import/export
   archive
       create an unversioned archive of a repository revision:

       hg archive [OPTION]... DEST

       By  default,  the  revision  used  is the parent of the working directory; use -r/--rev to
       specify a different revision.

       The archive type is automatically detected based  on  file  extension  (to  override,  use
       -t/--type).

       Examples:

       • create a zip file containing the 1.0 release:

         hg archive -r 1.0 project-1.0.zip

       • create a tarball excluding .hg files:

         hg archive project.tar.gz -X ".hg*"

       Valid types are:

       files

              a directory full of files (default)

       tar

              tar archive, uncompressed

       tbz2

              tar archive, compressed using bzip2

       tgz

              tar archive, compressed using gzip

       txz

              tar archive, compressed using lzma (only in Python 3)

       uzip

              zip archive, uncompressed

       zip

              zip archive, compressed using deflate

       The exact name of the destination archive or directory is given using a format string; see
       hg help export for details.

       Each member added to an archive file has a directory prefix prepended. Use -p/--prefix  to
       specify  a  format string for the prefix. The default is the basename of the archive, with
       suffixes removed.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       --no-decode
              do not pass files through decoders

       -p,--prefix <PREFIX>
              directory prefix for files in archive

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision to distribute

       -t,--type <TYPE>
              type of distribution to create

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   bundle
       create a bundle file:

       hg bundle [-f] [-t BUNDLESPEC] [-a] [-r REV]... [--base REV]... FILE [DEST]...

       Generate a bundle file containing data to be transferred to another repository.

       To create a bundle containing all changesets, use -a/--all (or --base null). Otherwise, hg
       assumes  the  destination  will  have  all  the  nodes you specify with --base parameters.
       Otherwise,  hg  will  assume  the  repository  has  all  the  nodes  in  destination,   or
       default-push/default if no destination is specified, where destination is the repositories
       you provide through DEST option.

       You can change bundle format  with  the  -t/--type  option.  See  hg  help  bundlespec for
       documentation  on  this  format.  By  default,  the  most  appropriate  format is used and
       compression defaults to bzip2.

       The bundle file can then be transferred using conventional means and  applied  to  another
       repository with the unbundle or pull command. This is useful when direct push and pull are
       not available or when exporting an entire repository is undesirable.

       Applying bundles preserves  all  changeset  contents  including  permissions,  copy/rename
       information, and revision history.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if no changes found.

       Options:

       --exact
              compute the base from the revision specified

       -f, --force
              run even when the destination is unrelated

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              a changeset intended to be added to the destination

       -b,--branch <BRANCH[+]>
              a specific branch you would like to bundle

       --base <REV[+]>
              a base changeset assumed to be available at the destination

       -a, --all
              bundle all changesets in the repository

       -t,--type <TYPE>
              bundle compression type to use (default: bzip2)

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   export
       dump the header and diffs for one or more changesets:

       hg export [OPTION]... [-o OUTFILESPEC] [-r] [REV]...

       Print  the changeset header and diffs for one or more revisions.  If no revision is given,
       the parent of the working directory is used.

       The information  shown  in  the  changeset  header  is:  author,  date,  branch  name  (if
       non-default), changeset hash, parent(s) and commit comment.

       Note   hg  export may  generate  unexpected  diff  output for merge changesets, as it will
              compare the merge changeset against its first parent only.

       Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file  is  given  using  a  template
       string.  See hg help templates. In addition to the common template keywords, the following
       formatting rules are supported:

       %%

              literal "%" character

       %H

              changeset hash (40 hexadecimal digits)

       %N

              number of patches being generated

       %R

              changeset revision number

       %b

              basename of the exporting repository

       %h

              short-form changeset hash (12 hexadecimal digits)

       %m

              first line of the commit message (only alphanumeric characters)

       %n

              zero-padded sequence number, starting at 1

       %r

              zero-padded changeset revision number

       \

              literal "" character

       Without the -a/--text option, export will avoid generating diffs of files  it  detects  as
       binary. With -a, export will generate a diff anyway, probably with undesirable results.

       With -B/--bookmark changesets reachable by the given bookmark are selected.

       Use  the  -g/--git  option  to generate diffs in the git extended diff format. See hg help
       diffs for more information.

       With the --switch-parent option, the diff will be against the second  parent.  It  can  be
       useful to review a merge.

       Template:

       The  following  keywords  are  supported  in  addition to the common template keywords and
       functions. See also hg help templates.

       diff   String. Diff content.

       parents
              List of strings. Parent nodes of the changeset.

       Examples:

       • use export and import to transplant a bugfix to the current branch:

         hg export -r 9353 | hg import -

       • export all the changesets between two revisions to a file with rename information:

         hg export --git -r 123:150 > changes.txt

       • split outgoing changes into a series of patches with descriptive names:

         hg export -r "outgoing()" -o "%n-%m.patch"

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -B,--bookmark <BOOKMARK>
              export changes only reachable by given bookmark

       -o,--output <FORMAT>
              print output to file with formatted name

       --switch-parent
              diff against the second parent

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              revisions to export

       -a, --text
              treat all files as text

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format (DEFAULT: diff.git)

       --binary
              generate binary diffs in git mode (default)

       --nodates
              omit dates from diff headers

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   import
       import an ordered set of patches:

       hg import [OPTION]... PATCH...

       Import a list of patches and commit them individually (unless --no-commit is specified).

       To read a patch from standard input (stdin), use "-" as  the  patch  name.  If  a  URL  is
       specified, the patch will be downloaded from there.

       Import  first  applies  changes  to  the working directory (unless --bypass is specified),
       import will abort if there are outstanding changes.

       Use --bypass to apply and commit patches directly to the repository, without affecting the
       working  directory.  Without  --exact,  patches  will  be  applied  on  top of the working
       directory parent revision.

       You can import a patch straight from a mail message. Even patches as attachments work  (to
       use the body part, it must have type text/plain or text/x-patch). From and Subject headers
       of email message are used as default committer and commit  message.  All  text/plain  body
       parts before first diff are added to the commit message.

       If the imported patch was generated by hg export, user and description from patch override
       values from message headers and body. Values given on command line with  -m/--message  and
       -u/--user override these.

       If --exact is specified, import will set the working directory to the parent of each patch
       before applying it, and will abort if the resulting changeset has a different ID than  the
       one  recorded  in  the  patch.  This  will  guard against various ways that portable patch
       formats and mail systems might fail to transfer Mercurial data or metadata. See hg  bundle
       for lossless transmission.

       Use --partial to ensure a changeset will be created from the patch even if some hunks fail
       to apply. Hunks that fail to apply will be written to a <target-file>.rej file.  Conflicts
       can  then  be  resolved  by  hand  before  hg  commit --amend is run to update the created
       changeset. This flag exists to let people import  patches  that  partially  apply  without
       losing the associated metadata (author, date, description, ...).

       Note   When  no  hunks  apply cleanly, hg import --partial will create an empty changeset,
              importing only the patch metadata.

       With -s/--similarity, hg will attempt to discover renames and copies in the patch  in  the
       same way as hg addremove.

       It is possible to use external patch programs to perform the patch by setting the ui.patch
       configuration option. For the default internal tool, the fuzz can also be  configured  via
       patch.fuzz.   See hg help config for more information about configuration files and how to
       use these options.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Examples:

       • import a traditional patch from a website and detect renames:

         hg import -s 80 http://example.com/bugfix.patch

       • import a changeset from an hgweb server:

         hg import https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/5ca8c111e9aa

       • import all the patches in an Unix-style mbox:

         hg import incoming-patches.mbox

       • import patches from stdin:

         hg import -

       • attempt to exactly restore an exported changeset (not always possible):

         hg import --exact proposed-fix.patch

       • use an external tool to apply a patch which is too fuzzy for the default internal tool.

            hg import --config ui.patch="patch --merge" fuzzy.patch

       • change the default fuzzing from 2 to a less strict 7

            hg import --config ui.fuzz=7 fuzz.patch

       Returns 0 on success, 1 on partial success (see --partial).

       Options:

       -p,--strip <NUM>
              directory strip option for patch. This has the same meaning  as  the  corresponding
              patch option (default: 1)

       -b,--base <PATH>
              base path (DEPRECATED)

       --secret
              use the secret phase for committing

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -f, --force
              skip check for outstanding uncommitted changes (DEPRECATED)

       --no-commit
              don't commit, just update the working directory

       --bypass
              apply patch without touching the working directory

       --partial
              commit even if some hunks fail

       --exact
              abort if patch would apply lossily

       --prefix <DIR>
              apply patch to subdirectory

       --import-branch
              use any branch information in patch (implied by --exact)

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

       -s,--similarity <SIMILARITY>
              guess renamed files by similarity (0<=s<=100)

          aliases: patch

   unbundle
       apply one or more bundle files:

       hg unbundle [-u] FILE...

       Apply one or more bundle files generated by hg bundle.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if an update has unresolved files.

       Options:

       -u, --update
              update to new branch head if changesets were unbundled

   Repository maintenance
   manifest
       output the current or given revision of the project manifest:

       hg manifest [-r REV]

       Print a list of version controlled files for the given revision.  If no revision is given,
       the first parent of the working directory is used, or the null revision if no revision  is
       checked out.

       With  -v,  print  file permissions, symlink and executable bits.  With --debug, print file
       revision hashes.

       If option --all is specified, the list of all files from all revisions  is  printed.  This
       includes deleted and renamed files.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision to display

       --all  list files from all revisions

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   recover
       roll back an interrupted transaction:

       hg recover

       Recover from an interrupted commit or pull.

       This  command tries to fix the repository status after an interrupted operation. It should
       only be necessary when Mercurial suggests it.

       Returns 0 if successful, 1 if nothing to recover or verify fails.

       Options:

       --verify
              run hg verify after successful recover

   rollback
       roll back the last transaction (DANGEROUS) (DEPRECATED):

       hg rollback

       Please use hg commit --amend instead of rollback to correct mistakes in the last commit.

       This command should be used with care. There is only one level of rollback, and  there  is
       no  way  to  undo  a  rollback.  It will also restore the dirstate at the time of the last
       transaction, losing any dirstate changes since that time. This command does not alter  the
       working directory.

       Transactions  are  used  to  encapsulate  the  effects  of  all  commands  that create new
       changesets or propagate existing changesets into a repository.

       For example, the following commands are transactional, and their  effects  can  be  rolled
       back:

       • commit

       • import

       • pull

       • push (with this repository as the destination)

       • unbundle

       To  avoid permanent data loss, rollback will refuse to rollback a commit transaction if it
       isn't checked out. Use --force to override this protection.

       The rollback command can be entirely disabled by  setting  the  ui.rollback  configuration
       setting  to  false. If you're here because you want to use rollback and it's disabled, you
       can re-enable the command by setting ui.rollback to true.

       This command is not intended for use on public repositories. Once changes are visible  for
       pull  by  other users, rolling a transaction back locally is ineffective (someone else may
       already have pulled the changes). Furthermore, a race is  possible  with  readers  of  the
       repository;  for example an in-progress pull from the repository may fail if a rollback is
       performed.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if no rollback data is available.

       Options:

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       -f, --force
              ignore safety measures

   verify
       verify the integrity of the repository:

       hg verify

       Verify the integrity of the current repository.

       This will perform an extensive check of the repository's integrity, validating the  hashes
       and  checksums of each entry in the changelog, manifest, and tracked files, as well as the
       integrity of their crosslinks and indices.

       Please see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RepositoryCorruption for more information  about
       recovery from corruption of the repository.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.

       Options:

       --full perform more checks (EXPERIMENTAL)

BUNDLE FILE FORMATS

       Mercurial  supports  generating standalone "bundle" files that hold repository data. These
       "bundles" are typically saved locally  and  used  later  or  exchanged  between  different
       repositories, possibly on different machines. Example commands using bundles are hg bundle
       and hg unbundle.

       Generation of bundle files  is  controlled  by  a  "bundle  specification"  ("bundlespec")
       string. This string tells the bundle generation process how to create the bundle.

       A "bundlespec" string is composed of the following elements:

       type   A string denoting the bundle format to use.

       compression
              Denotes the compression engine to use compressing the raw bundle data.

       parameters
              Arbitrary key-value parameters to further control bundle generation.

       A "bundlespec" string has the following formats:

       <type> The literal bundle format string is used.

       <compression>-<type>
              The compression engine and format are delimited by a hyphen (-).

       Optional  parameters  follow  the <type>. Parameters are URI escaped key=value pairs. Each
       pair is delimited by a semicolon (;). The first parameter begins  after  a  ;  immediately
       following the <type> value.

   Available Types
       The following bundle <type> strings are available:

       v1     Produces a legacy "changegroup" version 1 bundle.

              This  format  is  compatible  with  nearly  all Mercurial clients because it is the
              oldest. However, it has some limitations, which is why it is no longer the  default
              for new repositories.

              v1  bundles  can  be used with modern repositories using the "generaldelta" storage
              format. However, it may take longer to produce the bundle and the resulting  bundle
              may be significantly larger than a v2 bundle.

              v1 bundles can only use the gzip, bzip2, and none compression formats.

       v2     Produces a version 2 bundle.

              Version  2  bundles  are  an extensible format that can store additional repository
              data (such as bookmarks and phases  information)  and  they  can  store  data  more
              efficiently, resulting in smaller bundles.

              Version  2  bundles  can  also use modern compression engines, such as zstd, making
              them faster to compress and often smaller.

   Available Compression Engines
       The following bundle <compression> engines can be used:

       bzip2

              An algorithm that produces smaller bundles than gzip.

              All Mercurial clients should support this format.

              This engine will likely produce smaller bundles than gzip but will be significantly
              slower, both during compression and decompression.

              If  available,  the  zstd  engine  can  yield similar or better compression at much
              higher speeds.

       gzip

              zlib compression using the DEFLATE algorithm.

              All Mercurial clients should support this format. The compression algorithm strikes
              a reasonable balance between compression ratio and size.

       none

              No compression is performed.

              Use this compression engine to explicitly disable compression.

       The  compression engines can be prepended with stream to create a streaming bundle.  These
       are bundles that are  extremely  efficient  to  produce  and  consume,  but  do  not  have
       guaranteed compatibility with older clients.

   Available Options
       The following options exist:

       changegroup
              Include the changegroup data in the bundle (default to True).

       cg.version
              Select the version of the changegroup to use. Available options are : 01, 02 or 03.
              By default it will be automatically selected according to  the  current  repository
              format.

       obsolescence
              Include obsolescence-markers relevant to the bundled changesets.

       phases Include phase information relevant to the bundled changesets.

       revbranchcache
              Include the "tags-fnodes" cache inside the bundle.

       tagsfnodescache
              Include the "tags-fnodes" cache inside the bundle.

   Examples
       v2

              Produce a v2 bundle using default options, including compression.

       none-v1

              Produce a v1 bundle with no compression.

       zstd-v2

              Produce a v2 bundle with zstandard compression using default settings.

       zstd-v1

              This errors because zstd is not supported for v1 types.

       none-streamv2

              Produce a v2 streaming bundle with no compression.

       zstd-v2;obsolescence=true;phases=true

              Produce  a v2 bundle with zstandard compression which includes obsolescence markers
              and phases.

COLORIZING OUTPUTS

       Mercurial colorizes output from several commands.

       For example, the diff command shows additions in green and deletions  in  red,  while  the
       status command shows modified files in magenta. Many other commands have analogous colors.
       It is possible to customize these colors.

       To enable color (default) whenever possible use:

       [ui]
       color = yes

       To disable color use:

       [ui]
       color = no

       See hg help config.ui.color for details.

       The default pager  on  Windows  does  not  support  color,  so  enabling  the  pager  will
       effectively   disable  color.   See  hg  help  config.ui.paginate to  disable  the  pager.
       Alternately, MSYS and Cygwin shells provide less as a pager, which can  be  configured  to
       support ANSI color mode.  Windows 10 natively supports ANSI color mode.

   Mode
       Mercurial  can  use various systems to display color. The supported modes are ansi, win32,
       and terminfo.  See hg help config.color for details about how to control the mode.

   Effects
       Other effects in addition to color, like bold and underlined text, are also available.  By
       default, the terminfo database is used to find the terminal codes used to change color and
       effect.  If terminfo is not available, then effects are  rendered  with  the  ECMA-48  SGR
       control function (aka ANSI escape codes).

       The available effects in terminfo mode are 'blink', 'bold', 'dim', 'inverse', 'invisible',
       'italic', 'standout', and 'underline'; in ECMA-48 mode, the options are 'bold', 'inverse',
       'italic',  and  'underline'.  How each is rendered depends on the terminal emulator.  Some
       may not be available for a given terminal type, and will be silently ignored.

       If the terminfo entry for your terminal is missing codes for an effect or  has  the  wrong
       codes, you can add or override those codes in your configuration:

       [color]
       terminfo.dim = \E[2m

       where 'E' is substituted with an escape character.

   Labels
       Text  receives  color  effects depending on the labels that it has. Many default Mercurial
       commands emit labelled text. You can also define your own labels in  templates  using  the
       label  function,  see  hg  help templates. A single portion of text may have more than one
       label. In that case, effects given to the last label will override any other effects. This
       includes the special "none" effect, which nullifies other effects.

       Labels  are  normally  invisible.  In  order to see these labels and their position in the
       text, use the global --color=debug option. The same  anchor  text  may  be  associated  to
       multiple labels, e.g.

          [log.changeset changeset.secret|changeset:   22611:6f0a53c8f587]

       The  following  are  the  default  effects for some default labels. Default effects may be
       overridden from your configuration file:

       [color]
       status.modified = blue bold underline red_background
       status.added = green bold
       status.removed = red bold blue_background
       status.deleted = cyan bold underline
       status.unknown = magenta bold underline
       status.ignored = black bold

       # 'none' turns off all effects
       status.clean = none
       status.copied = none

       qseries.applied = blue bold underline
       qseries.unapplied = black bold
       qseries.missing = red bold

       diff.diffline = bold
       diff.extended = cyan bold
       diff.file_a = red bold
       diff.file_b = green bold
       diff.hunk = magenta
       diff.deleted = red
       diff.inserted = green
       diff.changed = white
       diff.tab =
       diff.trailingwhitespace = bold red_background

       # Blank so it inherits the style of the surrounding label
       changeset.public =
       changeset.draft =
       changeset.secret =

       resolve.unresolved = red bold
       resolve.resolved = green bold

       bookmarks.active = green

       branches.active = none
       branches.closed = black bold
       branches.current = green
       branches.inactive = none

       tags.normal = green
       tags.local = black bold

       rebase.rebased = blue
       rebase.remaining = red bold

       shelve.age = cyan
       shelve.newest = green bold
       shelve.name = blue bold

       histedit.remaining = red bold

   Custom colors
       Because there are only eight standard colors, Mercurial allows you to define  color  names
       for  other  color slots which might be available for your terminal type, assuming terminfo
       mode.  For instance:

       color.brightblue = 12
       color.pink = 207
       color.orange = 202

       to set 'brightblue' to color slot 12 (useful for 16 color  terminals  that  have  brighter
       colors defined in the upper eight) and, 'pink' and 'orange' to colors in 256-color xterm's
       default color cube.  These defined colors may then be  used  as  any  of  the  pre-defined
       eight, including appending '_background' to set the background to that color.

DATE FORMATS

       Some commands allow the user to specify a date, e.g.:

       • backout, commit, import, tag: Specify the commit date.

       • log, revert, update: Select revision(s) by date.

       Many date formats are valid. Here are some examples:

       • Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 (local timezone assumed)

       • Dec 6 13:18 -0600 (year assumed, time offset provided)

       • Dec 6 13:18 UTC (UTC and GMT are aliases for +0000)

       • Dec 6 (midnight)

       • 13:18 (today assumed)

       • 3:39 (3:39AM assumed)

       • 3:39pm (15:39)

       • 2006-12-06 13:18:29 (ISO 8601 format)

       • 2006-12-6 13:182006-12-612-612/612/6/6 (Dec 6 2006)

       • today (midnight)

       • yesterday (midnight)

       • now - right now

       Lastly, there is Mercurial's internal format:

       • 1165411109 0 (Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 UTC)

       This  is  the  internal representation format for dates. The first number is the number of
       seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). The second is  the  offset  of  the  local
       timezone, in seconds west of UTC (negative if the timezone is east of UTC).

       The log command also accepts date ranges:

       • <DATE - at or before a given date/time

       • >DATE - on or after a given date/time

       • DATE to DATE - a date range, inclusive

       • -DAYS - within a given number of days from today

DEPRECATED FEATURES

       Mercurial  evolves  over  time, some features, options, commands may be replaced by better
       and more secure alternatives. This topic will  help  you  migrating  your  existing  usage
       and/or configuration to newer features.

   Commands
       The following commands are still available but their use are not recommended:

       locate

       This command has been replaced by hg files.

       parents

       This command can be replaced by hg summary or hg log with appropriate revsets. See hg help
       revsets for more information.

       tip

       The recommended alternative is hg heads.

   Options
       web.allowpull

              Renamed to allow-pull.

       web.allow_push

              Renamed to allow-push.

DIFF FORMATS

       Mercurial's default format  for  showing  changes  between  two  versions  of  a  file  is
       compatible  with  the  unified format of GNU diff, which can be used by GNU patch and many
       other standard tools.

       While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the following information:

       • executable status and other permission bits

       • copy or rename information

       • changes in binary files

       • creation or deletion of empty files

       Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS  which  addresses  these
       limitations. The git diff format is not produced by default because a few widespread tools
       still do not understand this format.

       This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository (e.g. with  hg  export),
       you  should be careful about things like file copies and renames or other things mentioned
       above, because when applying a  standard  diff  to  a  different  repository,  this  extra
       information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and pull) are not affected
       by this, because they use an internal binary format for communicating changes.

       To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git option available for
       many  commands,  or set 'git = True' in the [diff] section of your configuration file. You
       do not need to set this option when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq
       extension.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       HG     Path to the 'hg' executable, automatically passed when running hooks, extensions or
              external tools. If unset or empty, this is the hg executable's name if it's frozen,
              or  an  executable  named  'hg'  (with  %PATHEXT%  [defaulting  to COM/EXE/BAT/CMD]
              extensions on Windows) is searched.

       HGEDITOR
              This is the name of the editor to run when committing. See EDITOR.

              (deprecated, see hg help config.ui.editor)

       HGENCODING
              This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial.  This  setting  is
              used  to  convert  data including usernames, changeset descriptions, tag names, and
              branches. This setting can be overridden with the --encoding command-line option.

       HGENCODINGMODE
              This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown  characters  while  transcoding
              user  input.  The  default is "strict", which causes Mercurial to abort if it can't
              map  a  character.  Other  settings  include  "replace",  which  replaces   unknown
              characters, and "ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with the
              --encodingmode command-line option.

       HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS
              This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling characters with "ambiguous" widths like
              accented  Latin  characters  with  East  Asian fonts. By default, Mercurial assumes
              ambiguous characters are narrow, set this variable to  "wide"  if  such  characters
              cause formatting problems.

       HGMERGE
              An  executable  to  use for resolving merge conflicts. The program will be executed
              with three arguments: local file, remote file, ancestor file.

              (deprecated, see hg help config.ui.merge)

       HGRCPATH
              A list of files or directories to search for configuration files. Item separator is
              ":"  on  Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH is not set, platform default search path
              is used. If empty, only the .hg/hgrc from the current repository is read.

              For each element in HGRCPATH:

              • if it's a directory, all files ending with .rc are added

              • otherwise, the file itself will be added

       HGRCSKIPREPO
              When set, the .hg/hgrc from repositories are not read.

       HGPLAIN
              When set, this disables any configuration settings that  might  change  Mercurial's
              default  output.  This includes encoding, defaults, verbose mode, debug mode, quiet
              mode, tracebacks, and localization. This  can  be  useful  when  scripting  against
              Mercurial in the face of existing user configuration.

              In  addition  to  the  features  disabled  by HGPLAIN=, the following values can be
              specified to adjust behavior:

              +strictflags

                     Restrict parsing of command line flags.

              Equivalent options set via command line flags  or  environment  variables  are  not
              overridden.

              See hg help scripting for details.

       HGPLAINEXCEPT
              This  is  a  comma-separated  list of features to preserve when HGPLAIN is enabled.
              Currently the following values are supported:

              alias

                     Don't remove aliases.

              color

                     Don't disable colored output.

              i18n

                     Preserve internationalization.

              revsetalias

                     Don't remove revset aliases.

              templatealias

                     Don't remove template aliases.

              progress

                     Don't hide progress output.

              Setting HGPLAINEXCEPT to anything (even an empty string) will enable plain mode.

       HGUSER This is the string used as the author of a commit. If  not  set,  available  values
              will be considered in this order:

              • HGUSER (deprecated)

              • configuration files from the HGRCPATH

              • EMAIL

              • interactive prompt

              • LOGNAME (with @hostname appended)

              (deprecated, see hg help config.ui.username)

       EMAIL  May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.

       LOGNAME
              May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.

       VISUAL This is the name of the editor to use when committing. See EDITOR.

       EDITOR Sometimes  Mercurial  needs  to open a text file in an editor for a user to modify,
              for example when writing commit messages. The  editor  it  uses  is  determined  by
              looking  at  the  environment variables HGEDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR, in that order.
              The first non-empty one is chosen. If all of them are empty, the editor defaults to
              'vi'.

       PYTHONPATH
              This  is  used  by  Python  to  find  imported  modules  and  may  need  to  be set
              appropriately if this Mercurial is not installed system-wide.

SAFELY REWRITING HISTORY (EXPERIMENTAL)

       Obsolescence markers make it possible  to  mark  changesets  that  have  been  deleted  or
       superseded in a new version of the changeset.

       Unlike the previous way of handling such changes, by stripping the old changesets from the
       repository, obsolescence markers can be propagated between repositories. This allows for a
       safe  and  simple  way  of  exchanging  mutable  history  and  altering it after the fact.
       Changeset phases are respected, such that only draft and secret changesets can be  altered
       (see hg help phases for details).

       Obsolescence  is  tracked using "obsolescence markers", a piece of metadata tracking which
       changesets have been made obsolete, potential successors for a given changeset, the moment
       the  changeset was marked as obsolete, and the user who performed the rewriting operation.
       The markers are stored separately from standard changeset data can  be  exchanged  without
       any of the precursor changesets, preventing unnecessary exchange of obsolescence data.

       The  complete  set  of obsolescence markers describes a history of changeset modifications
       that is orthogonal to the repository history of file modifications. This changeset history
       allows  for  detection  and automatic resolution of edge cases arising from multiple users
       rewriting the same part of history concurrently.

   Current feature status
       This feature is still in development.

   Instability
       Rewriting changesets might introduce instability.

       There are two main kinds of instability: orphaning and diverging.

       Orphans are changesets left behind when their ancestors are rewritten.  Divergence has two
       variants:

       • Content-divergence  occurs  when  independent  rewrites  of  the same changesets lead to
         different results.

       • Phase-divergence occurs when the old (obsolete) version of a changeset becomes public.

       It is possible to prevent local creation of orphans by using the following config:

       [experimental]
       evolution.createmarkers = true
       evolution.exchange = true

       You can also enable that option explicitly:

       [experimental]
       evolution.createmarkers = true
       evolution.exchange = true
       evolution.allowunstable = true

USING ADDITIONAL FEATURES

       Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use  of  extensions.  Extensions
       may  add  new  commands,  add options to existing commands, change the default behavior of
       commands, or implement hooks.

       To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the Python search path,
       create an entry for it in your configuration file, like this:

       [extensions]
       foo =

       You may also specify the full path to an extension:

       [extensions]
       myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

       See hg help config for more information on configuration files.

       Extensions  are  not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can increase startup
       overhead; they may be  meant  for  advanced  usage  only;  they  may  provide  potentially
       dangerous  abilities  (such  as  letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be
       ready for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of  stock  Mercurial.  It  is
       thus up to the user to activate extensions as needed.

       To  explicitly  disable  an  extension  enabled  in a configuration file of broader scope,
       prepend its path with !:

       [extensions]
       # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
       bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
       # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
       baz = !

       disabled extensions:

                 log repository events to a blackbox for debugging

SPECIFYING FILE SETS

       Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of files.

       Like other file patterns, this pattern type is indicated by a prefix, 'set:'. The language
       supports  a  number  of predicates which are joined by infix operators. Parenthesis can be
       used for grouping.

       Identifiers such as filenames or patterns must be quoted with single or double  quotes  if
       they  contain characters outside of [.*{}[]?/\_a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff] or if they match one of
       the predefined predicates. This generally applies to file patterns other  than  globs  and
       arguments for predicates. Pattern prefixes such as path: may be specified without quoting.

       Special  characters  can  be  used  in  quoted  identifiers  by escaping them, e.g., \n is
       interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being interpreted, strings can be  prefixed
       with r, e.g. r'...'.

       See also hg help patterns.

   Operators
       There is a single prefix operator:

       not x

              Files not in x. Short form is ! x.

       These are the supported infix operators:

       x and y

              The intersection of files in x and y. Short form is x & y.

       x or y

              The union of files in x and y. There are two alternative short forms: x | y and x +
              y.

       x - y

              Files in x but not in y.

   Predicates
       The following predicates are supported:

       added()

              File that is added according to hg status.

       binary()

              File that appears to be binary (contains NUL bytes).

       clean()

              File that is clean according to hg status.

       copied()

              File that is recorded as being copied.

       deleted()

              Alias for missing().

       encoding(name)

              File can be successfully decoded with the given  character  encoding.  May  not  be
              useful for encodings other than ASCII and UTF-8.

       eol(style)

              File  contains  newlines  of  the  given  style  (dos, unix, mac). Binary files are
              excluded, files with mixed line endings match multiple styles.

       exec()

              File that is marked as executable.

       grep(regex)

              File contains the given regular expression.

       hgignore()

              File that matches the active .hgignore pattern.

       ignored()

              File that is ignored according to hg status.

       missing()

              File that is missing according to hg status.

       modified()

              File that is modified according to hg status.

       portable()

              File  that  has  a  portable  name.  (This  doesn't  include  filenames  with  case
              collisions.)

       removed()

              File that is removed according to hg status.

       resolved()

              File that is marked resolved according to hg resolve -l.

       revs(revs, pattern)

              Evaluate  set  in  the specified revisions. If the revset match multiple revs, this
              will return file matching pattern in any of the revision.

       size(expression)

              File size matches the given expression. Examples:

              • size('1k') - files from 1024 to 2047 bytes

              • size('< 20k') - files less than 20480 bytes

              • size('>= .5MB') - files at least 524288 bytes

              • size('4k - 1MB') - files from 4096 bytes to 1048576 bytes

       status(base, rev, pattern)

              Evaluate predicate using status change between base and rev. Examples:

              • status(3, 7, added()) - matches files added from "3" to "7"

       subrepo([pattern])

              Subrepositories whose paths match the given pattern.

       symlink()

              File that is marked as a symlink.

       tracked()

              File that is under Mercurial control.

       unknown()

              File that is unknown according to hg status.

       unresolved()

              File that is marked unresolved according to hg resolve -l.

   Examples
       Some sample queries:

       • Show status of files that appear to be binary in the working directory:

         hg status -A "set:binary()"

       • Forget files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked:

         hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"

       • Find text files that contain a string:

         hg files "set:grep(magic) and not binary()"

       • Find C files in a non-standard encoding:

         hg files "set:**.c and not encoding('UTF-8')"

       • Revert copies of large binary files:

         hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')"

       • Revert files that were added to the working directory:

         hg revert "set:revs('wdir()', added())"

       • Remove files listed in foo.lst that contain the letter a or b:

         hg remove "set: listfile:foo.lst and (**a* or **b*)"

COMMAND-LINE FLAGS

       Most Mercurial commands accept various flags.

   Flag names
       Flags for each command are listed in hg help for that command.  Additionally, some  flags,
       such  as  --repository, are global and can be used with any command - those are seen in hg
       help -v, and can be specified before or after the command.

       Every flag has at least a long name, such as --repository. Some  flags  may  also  have  a
       short  one-letter  name,  such  as  the  equivalent  -R.  Using  the short or long name is
       equivalent and has the same effect. The long name may be abbreviated  to  any  unambiguous
       prefix. For example, hg commit --amend can be abbreviated to hg commit --am.

       Flags  that have a short name can also be bundled together - for instance, to specify both
       --edit (short -e) and --interactive (short -i), one could use:

       hg commit -ei

       If any of the bundled flags takes a value (i.e. is  not  a  boolean),  it  must  be  last,
       followed by the value:

       hg commit -im 'Message'

   Flag types
       Mercurial command-line flags can be strings, numbers, booleans, or lists of strings.

   Specifying flag values
       The following syntaxes are allowed, assuming a flag 'flagname' with short name 'f':

       --flagname=foo
       --flagname foo
       -f foo
       -ffoo

       This syntax applies to all non-boolean flags (strings, numbers or lists).

   Specifying boolean flags
       Boolean  flags  do  not take a value parameter. To specify a boolean, use the flag name to
       set it to true, or the same name prefixed with 'no-' to set it to false:

       hg commit --interactive
       hg commit --no-interactive

   Specifying list flags
       List flags take multiple values. To specify them, pass the flag multiple times:

       hg files --include mercurial --include tests

   Setting flag defaults
       In order to set a default value for a flag in an hgrc  file,  it  is  recommended  to  use
       aliases:

       [alias]
       commit = commit --interactive

       For more information on hgrc files, see hg help config.

   Overriding flags on the command line
       If  the  same  non-list  flag  is specified multiple times on the command line, the latest
       specification is used:

       hg commit -m "Ignored value" -m "Used value"

       This includes the use of aliases - e.g., if one has:

       [alias]
       committemp = commit -m "Ignored value"

       then the following command will override that -m:

       hg committemp -m "Used value"

   Overriding flag defaults
       Every flag has a default value, and you  may  also  set  your  own  defaults  in  hgrc  as
       described  above.   Except  for list flags, defaults can be overridden on the command line
       simply by specifying the flag in that location.

   Hidden flags
       Some flags are not shown in a command's help by default -  specifically,  those  that  are
       deemed  to  be  experimental, deprecated or advanced. To show all flags, add the --verbose
       flag for the help command:

       hg help --verbose commit

GLOSSARY

       Ancestor
              Any changeset that can be reached by an unbroken chain of parent changesets from  a
              given changeset. More precisely, the ancestors of a changeset can be defined by two
              properties: a parent of a changeset is an ancestor, and a parent of an ancestor  is
              an ancestor. See also: 'Descendant'.

       Bookmark
              Bookmarks  are  pointers  to  certain  commits  that move when committing. They are
              similar to tags in that it is possible to use bookmark names in  all  places  where
              Mercurial expects a changeset ID, e.g., with hg update. Unlike tags, bookmarks move
              along when you make a commit.

              Bookmarks can be renamed, copied and deleted. Bookmarks are local, unless they  are
              explicitly  pushed  or  pulled between repositories.  Pushing and pulling bookmarks
              allow you to collaborate with others on a branch without creating a named branch.

       Branch (Noun) A child changeset that has been created from a parent that is  not  a  head.
              These   are  known  as  topological  branches,  see  'Branch,  topological'.  If  a
              topological branch is named, it becomes a named branch. If a topological branch  is
              not  named,  it  becomes  an anonymous branch. See 'Branch, anonymous' and 'Branch,
              named'.

              Branches may be created when  changes  are  pulled  from  or  pushed  to  a  remote
              repository,  since new heads may be created by these operations. Note that the term
              branch can also be used informally to  describe  a  development  process  in  which
              certain  development  is done independently of other development. This is sometimes
              done explicitly with a named branch,  but  it  can  also  be  done  locally,  using
              bookmarks or clones and anonymous branches.

              Example: "The experimental branch."

              (Verb)  The action of creating a child changeset which results in its parent having
              more than one child.

              Example: "I'm going to branch at X."

       Branch, anonymous
              Every time a new child changeset is created from a parent that is not  a  head  and
              the name of the branch is not changed, a new anonymous branch is created.

       Branch, closed
              A named branch whose branch heads have all been closed.

       Branch, default
              The branch assigned to a changeset when no name has previously been assigned.

       Branch head
              See 'Head, branch'.

       Branch, inactive
              If  a named branch has no topological heads, it is considered to be inactive. As an
              example, a feature branch becomes inactive when  it  is  merged  into  the  default
              branch. The hg branches command shows inactive branches by default, though they can
              be hidden with hg branches --active.

              NOTE: this concept is deprecated because it is too implicit.  Branches  should  now
              be explicitly closed using hg commit --close-branch when they are no longer needed.

       Branch, named
              A collection of changesets which have the same branch name. By default, children of
              a changeset in a named branch belong to the same  named  branch.  A  child  can  be
              explicitly assigned to a different branch. See hg help branch, hg help branches and
              hg commit --close-branch for more information on managing branches.

              Named branches can be thought of as a kind of namespace, dividing the collection of
              changesets  that  comprise  the repository into a collection of disjoint subsets. A
              named branch is not necessarily a topological branch. If  a  new  named  branch  is
              created  from  the  head  of  another  named  branch, or the default branch, but no
              further changesets are added to that previous branch,  then  that  previous  branch
              will be a branch in name only.

       Branch tip
              See 'Tip, branch'.

       Branch, topological
              Every time a new child changeset is created from a parent that is not a head, a new
              topological branch is created. If a topological branch is named, it becomes a named
              branch. If a topological branch is not named, it becomes an anonymous branch of the
              current, possibly default, branch.

       Changelog
              A record of the changesets in the order in which they were added to the repository.
              This  includes details such as changeset id, author, commit message, date, and list
              of changed files.

       Changeset
              A snapshot of the state of the repository used to record a change.

       Changeset, child
              The converse of parent changeset: if P is a parent of C, then C is a  child  of  P.
              There is no limit to the number of children that a changeset may have.

       Changeset id
              A  SHA-1 hash that uniquely identifies a changeset. It may be represented as either
              a "long" 40 hexadecimal digit string, or a "short" 12 hexadecimal digit string.

       Changeset, merge
              A changeset with two parents. This occurs when a merge is committed.

       Changeset, parent
              A revision upon which a child changeset is based. Specifically, a parent  changeset
              of  a  changeset  C  is  a  changeset whose node immediately precedes C in the DAG.
              Changesets have at most two parents.

       Checkout
              (Noun) The working directory being updated to a specific revision. This use  should
              probably  be  avoided  where  possible,  as changeset is much more appropriate than
              checkout in this context.

              Example: "I'm using checkout X."

              (Verb) Updating the working directory to a specific changeset. See hg help update.

              Example: "I'm going to check out changeset X."

       Child changeset
              See 'Changeset, child'.

       Close changeset
              See 'Head, closed branch'.

       Closed branch
              See 'Branch, closed'.

       Clone  (Noun) An entire or partial copy of a repository. The partial clone must be in  the
              form of a revision and its ancestors.

              Example: "Is your clone up to date?"

              (Verb) The process of creating a clone, using hg clone.

              Example: "I'm going to clone the repository."

       Closed branch head
              See 'Head, closed branch'.

       Commit (Noun) A synonym for changeset.

              Example: "Is the bug fixed in your recent commit?"

              (Verb)  The act of recording changes to a repository. When files are committed in a
              working directory, Mercurial finds the differences between the committed files  and
              their parent changeset, creating a new changeset in the repository.

              Example: "You should commit those changes now."

       Cset   A common abbreviation of the term changeset.

       DAG    The  repository of changesets of a distributed version control system (DVCS) can be
              described as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), consisting of nodes and  edges,  where
              nodes  correspond  to  changesets  and edges imply a parent -> child relation. This
              graph can be visualized by graphical tools such as hg log  --graph.  In  Mercurial,
              the DAG is limited by the requirement for children to have at most two parents.

       Deprecated
              Feature removed from documentation, but not scheduled for removal.

       Default branch
              See 'Branch, default'.

       Descendant
              Any  changeset  that  can  be  reached  by a chain of child changesets from a given
              changeset. More precisely, the descendants of a changeset can  be  defined  by  two
              properties: the child of a changeset is a descendant, and the child of a descendant
              is a descendant. See also: 'Ancestor'.

       Diff   (Noun) The  difference  between  the  contents  and  attributes  of  files  in  two
              changesets  or  a  changeset  and  the current working directory. The difference is
              usually represented in a standard form called a "diff" or "patch". The  "git  diff"
              format  is  used  when  the  changes  include  copies,  renames, or changes to file
              attributes, none of which can be represented/handled by classic "diff" and "patch".

              Example: "Did you see my correction in the diff?"

              (Verb) Diffing two changesets is the action of creating a diff or patch.

              Example: "If you diff with changeset X, you will see what I mean."

       Directory, working
              The working directory represents the state of the files tracked by Mercurial,  that
              will be recorded in the next commit. The working directory initially corresponds to
              the snapshot at  an  existing  changeset,  known  as  the  parent  of  the  working
              directory. See 'Parent, working directory'. The state may be modified by changes to
              the files introduced manually or by a merge. The repository metadata exists in  the
              .hg directory inside the working directory.

       Draft  Changesets in the draft phase have not been shared with publishing repositories and
              may thus be safely changed by history-modifying extensions. See hg help phases.

       Experimental
              Feature that may change or be removed at a later date.

       Graph  See DAG and hg log --graph.

       Head   The term 'head' may be used to refer to both a branch head or  a  repository  head,
              depending  on  the  context. See 'Head, branch' and 'Head, repository' for specific
              definitions.

              Heads are where development generally takes place and are  the  usual  targets  for
              update and merge operations.

       Head, branch
              A changeset with no descendants on the same named branch.

       Head, closed branch
              A  changeset  that  marks  a  head  as no longer interesting. The closed head is no
              longer listed by hg heads. A branch is considered closed when  all  its  heads  are
              closed and consequently is not listed by hg branches.

              Closed  heads  can  be  re-opened  by  committing new changeset as the child of the
              changeset that marks a head as closed.

       Head, repository
              A topological head which has not been closed.

       Head, topological
              A changeset with no children in the repository.

       History, immutable
              Once committed, changesets cannot be altered.  Extensions which  appear  to  change
              history actually create new changesets that replace existing ones, and then destroy
              the old changesets. Doing so in public repositories can result  in  old  changesets
              being reintroduced to the repository.

       History, rewriting
              The  changesets in a repository are immutable. However, extensions to Mercurial can
              be used to alter the repository, usually in such a way  as  to  preserve  changeset
              contents.

       Immutable history
              See 'History, immutable'.

       Merge changeset
              See 'Changeset, merge'.

       Manifest
              Each  changeset  has a manifest, which is the list of files that are tracked by the
              changeset.

       Merge  Used to bring together divergent branches of work. When you update to  a  changeset
              and  then  merge  another  changeset, you bring the history of the latter changeset
              into your working directory. Once conflicts are resolved (and marked),  this  merge
              may be committed as a merge changeset, bringing two branches together in the DAG.

       Named branch
              See 'Branch, named'.

       Null changeset
              The  empty  changeset. It is the parent state of newly-initialized repositories and
              repositories with no checked out revision. It is thus the parent of root changesets
              and  the  effective ancestor when merging unrelated changesets. Can be specified by
              the alias 'null' or by the changeset ID '000000000000'.

       Parent See 'Changeset, parent'.

       Parent changeset
              See 'Changeset, parent'.

       Parent, working directory
              The working directory parent reflects a virtual revision which is the child of  the
              changeset  (or  two changesets with an uncommitted merge) shown by hg parents. This
              is changed with hg update. Other commands to see the working directory  parent  are
              hg summary and hg id. Can be specified by the alias ".".

       Patch  (Noun) The product of a diff operation.

              Example: "I've sent you my patch."

              (Verb) The process of using a patch file to transform one changeset into another.

              Example: "You will need to patch that revision."

       Phase  A  per-changeset state tracking how the changeset has been or should be shared. See
              hg help phases.

       Public Changesets in the public phase have been shared with  publishing  repositories  and
              are therefore considered immutable. See hg help phases.

       Pull   An  operation in which changesets in a remote repository which are not in the local
              repository are brought into the local repository. Note that this operation  without
              special  arguments only updates the repository, it does not update the files in the
              working directory. See hg help pull.

       Push   An operation in which changesets in a local repository which are not  in  a  remote
              repository  are  sent  to the remote repository. Note that this operation only adds
              changesets which have been committed locally to the remote repository.  Uncommitted
              changes are not sent. See hg help push.

       Repository
              The metadata describing all recorded states of a collection of files. Each recorded
              state is represented by a changeset. A repository is usually (but not always) found
              in the .hg subdirectory of a working directory. Any recorded state can be recreated
              by "updating" a working directory to a specific changeset.

       Repository head
              See 'Head, repository'.

       Revision
              A state of the repository at some point in time. Earlier revisions can  be  updated
              to by using hg update.  See also 'Revision number'; See also 'Changeset'.

       Revision number
              This  integer  uniquely  identifies  a  changeset  in  a  specific  repository.  It
              represents the order in which changesets were added to a repository, starting  with
              revision  number 0. Note that the revision number may be different in each clone of
              a repository.  To  identify  changesets  uniquely  between  different  clones,  see
              'Changeset id'.

       Revlog History  storage  mechanism used by Mercurial. It is a form of delta encoding, with
              occasional full revision of data followed by delta of each successive revision.  It
              includes data and an index pointing to the data.

       Rewriting history
              See 'History, rewriting'.

       Root   A  changeset that has only the null changeset as its parent. Most repositories have
              only a single root changeset.

       Secret Changesets in the secret phase may not be shared via push, pull, or clone.  See  hg
              help phases.

       Tag    An  alternative  name  given  to  a changeset. Tags can be used in all places where
              Mercurial expects a changeset ID, e.g., with hg update. The creation of  a  tag  is
              stored  in  the history and will thus automatically be shared with other using push
              and pull.

       Tip    The changeset with the highest revision number. It is the changeset  most  recently
              added in a repository.

       Tip, branch
              The  head of a given branch with the highest revision number. When a branch name is
              used as a revision identifier, it refers to  the  branch  tip.  See  also  'Branch,
              head'.  Note that because revision numbers may be different in different repository
              clones, the branch tip may be different in different cloned repositories.

       Update (Noun) Another synonym of changeset.

              Example: "I've pushed an update."

              (Verb) This term is usually used to describe updating  the  state  of  the  working
              directory to that of a specific changeset. See hg help update.

              Example: "You should update."

       Working directory

SYNTAX FOR MERCURIAL IGNORE FILES

   Synopsis
       The Mercurial system uses a file called .hgignore in the root directory of a repository to
       control its behavior when it searches for files that it is not currently tracking.

   Description
       The working directory of a Mercurial repository will often contain files that  should  not
       be  tracked by Mercurial. These include backup files created by editors and build products
       created by compilers.  These files can be ignored by listing them in a .hgignore  file  in
       the  root  of  the  working  directory. The .hgignore file must be created manually. It is
       typically put under version  control,  so  that  the  settings  will  propagate  to  other
       repositories with push and pull.

       An untracked file is ignored if its path relative to the repository root directory, or any
       prefix path of that path, is matched against any pattern in .hgignore.

       For example, say we have an untracked file, file.c, at a/b/file.c inside  our  repository.
       Mercurial will ignore file.c if any pattern in .hgignore matches a/b/file.c, a/b or a.

       In  addition,  a  Mercurial  configuration  file can reference a set of per-user or global
       ignore files. See the ignore configuration key on the [ui] section of hg  help  config for
       details of how to configure these files.

       To control Mercurial's handling of files that it manages, many commands support the -I and
       -X options; see hg help <command> and hg help patterns for details.

       Files that are already tracked are not affected by  .hgignore,  even  if  they  appear  in
       .hgignore.  An  untracked file X can be explicitly added with hg add X, even if X would be
       excluded by a pattern in .hgignore.

   Syntax
       An ignore file is a plain text file consisting of a list of patterns, with one pattern per
       line.  Empty lines are skipped. The # character is treated as a comment character, and the
       \ character is treated as an escape character.

       Mercurial supports several pattern syntaxes. The default syntax used is  Python/Perl-style
       regular expressions.

       To change the syntax used, use a line of the following form:

       syntax: NAME

       where NAME is one of the following:

       regexp

              Regular expression, Python/Perl syntax.

       glob

              Shell-style glob.

       rootglob

              A variant of glob that is rooted (see below).

       The  chosen  syntax  stays  in effect when parsing all patterns that follow, until another
       syntax is selected.

       Neither glob nor regexp patterns are rooted. A glob-syntax pattern of the  form  *.c  will
       match  a file ending in .c in any directory, and a regexp pattern of the form \.c$ will do
       the same. To root a regexp pattern,  start  it  with  ^.  To  get  the  same  effect  with
       glob-syntax, you have to use rootglob.

       Subdirectories     can     have     their     own    .hgignore    settings    by    adding
       subinclude:path/to/subdir/.hgignore to  the  root  .hgignore.  See  hg  help  patterns for
       details on subinclude: and include:.

       Note   Patterns  specified  in other than .hgignore are always rooted.  Please see hg help
              patterns for details.

   Example
       Here is an example ignore file.

       # use glob syntax.
       syntax: glob

       *.elc
       *.pyc
       *~

       # switch to regexp syntax.
       syntax: regexp
       ^\.pc/

   Debugging
       Use the debugignore command to see if and why a file is ignored, or to  see  the  combined
       ignore pattern. See hg help debugignore for details.

CONFIGURING HGWEB

       Mercurial's internal web server, hgweb, can serve either a single repository, or a tree of
       repositories. In the second case, repository paths and global options can be defined using
       a dedicated configuration file common to hg serve, hgweb.wsgi, hgweb.cgi and hgweb.fcgi.

       This  file uses the same syntax as other Mercurial configuration files but recognizes only
       the following sections:

          • web

          • paths

          • collections

       The web options are thoroughly described in hg help config.

       The paths section maps URL paths to paths of repositories in the  filesystem.  hgweb  will
       not expose the filesystem directly - only Mercurial repositories can be published and only
       according to the configuration.

       The left hand side is the path in the URL. Note that hgweb reserves subpaths like  rev  or
       file, try using different names for nested repositories to avoid confusing effects.

       The right hand side is the path in the filesystem. If the specified path ends with * or **
       the filesystem will be searched recursively for repositories below that point.  With *  it
       will not recurse into the repositories it finds (except for .hg/patches).  With ** it will
       also search inside repository working directories and possibly find subrepositories.

       In this example:

       [paths]
       /projects/a = /srv/tmprepos/a
       /projects/b = c:/repos/b
       / = /srv/repos/*
       /user/bob = /home/bob/repos/**

       • The first two entries make two repositories in different directories  appear  under  the
         same directory in the web interface

       • The  third  entry  will  publish  every  Mercurial  repository found in /srv/repos/, for
         instance the repository /srv/repos/quux/ will appear as http://server/quux/

       • The    fourth    entry    will    publish    both    http://server/user/bob/quux/    and
         http://server/user/bob/quux/testsubrepo/

       The collections section is deprecated and has been superseded by paths.

   URLs and Common Arguments
       URLs  under  each  repository  have  the  form  /{command}[/{arguments}]  where  {command}
       represents the name of a command or handler  and  {arguments}  represents  any  number  of
       additional URL parameters to that command.

       The web server has a default style associated with it. Styles map to a collection of named
       templates. Each template is used to render a specific piece of data, such as  a  changeset
       or diff.

       The style for the current request can be overridden two ways. First, if {command} contains
       a hyphen (-), the text before the hyphen defines the style. For  example,  /atom-log  will
       render  the  log  command  handler with the atom style. The second way to set the style is
       with the style query string argument. For example,  /log?style=atom.  The  hyphenated  URL
       parameter is preferred.

       Not  all  templates  are  available for all styles. Attempting to use a style that doesn't
       have all templates defined may result in an error rendering the page.

       Many commands take a {revision} URL parameter. This defines the changeset to  operate  on.
       This is commonly specified as the short, 12 digit hexadecimal abbreviation for the full 40
       character unique revision identifier. However, any value described by  hg  help  revisions
       typically works.

   Commands and URLs
       The following web commands and their URLs are available:

   /annotate/{revision}/{path}
       Show changeset information for each line in a file.

       The  ignorews,  ignorewsamount,  ignorewseol,  and ignoreblanklines query string arguments
       have the same meaning as their [annotate] config equivalents. It  uses  the  hgrc  boolean
       parsing  logic to interpret the value. e.g. 0 and false are false and 1 and true are true.
       If not defined, the server default settings are used.

       The fileannotate template is rendered.

   /archive/{revision}.{format}[/{path}]
       Obtain an archive of repository content.

       The content and type of the archive is defined by a URL path  parameter.   format  is  the
       file  extension of the archive type to be generated. e.g.  zip or tar.bz2. Not all archive
       types may be allowed by your server configuration.

       The optional path URL parameter controls content to include in the  archive.  If  omitted,
       every  file  in  the  specified  revision is present in the archive. If included, only the
       specified file or contents of the specified directory will be included in the archive.

       No template is used for this handler. Raw, binary content is generated.

   /bookmarks
       Show information about bookmarks.

       No arguments are accepted.

       The bookmarks template is rendered.

   /branches
       Show information about branches.

       All known branches are contained in the output, even closed branches.

       No arguments are accepted.

       The branches template is rendered.

   /changelog[/{revision}]
       Show information about multiple changesets.

       If the optional revision URL argument is absent, information about all changesets starting
       at  tip  will  be  rendered. If the revision argument is present, changesets will be shown
       starting from the specified revision.

       If revision is absent, the rev query string argument may be defined. This will  perform  a
       search for changesets.

       The  argument  for  rev  can be a single revision, a revision set, or a literal keyword to
       search for in changeset data (equivalent to hg log -k).

       The revcount query string argument defines the maximum numbers of changesets to render.

       For non-searches, the changelog template will be rendered.

   /changeset[/{revision}]
       Show information about a single changeset.

       A URL path argument is the changeset  identifier  to  show.  See  hg  help  revisions  for
       possible values. If not defined, the tip changeset will be shown.

       The  changeset  template  is  rendered.  Contents  of the changesettag, changesetbookmark,
       filenodelink, filenolink, and the many templates related to  diffs  may  all  be  used  to
       produce the output.

   /comparison/{revision}/{path}
       Show  a  comparison  between  the  old  and  new versions of a file from changes made on a
       particular revision.

       This is similar to the diff handler. However, this form features a split  or  side-by-side
       diff rather than a unified diff.

       The context query string argument can be used to control the lines of context in the diff.

       The filecomparison template is rendered.

   /diff/{revision}/{path}
       Show how a file changed in a particular commit.

       The filediff template is rendered.

       This  handler  is  registered  under  both the /diff and /filediff paths. /diff is used in
       modern code.

   /file/{revision}[/{path}]
       Show information about a directory or file in the repository.

       Info about the path given as a URL parameter will be rendered.

       If path is a directory, information about the entries in that directory will be  rendered.
       This form is equivalent to the manifest handler.

       If  path  is  a  file,  information  about  that  file  will be shown via the filerevision
       template.

       If path is not defined, information about the root directory will be rendered.

   /diff/{revision}/{path}
       Show how a file changed in a particular commit.

       The filediff template is rendered.

       This handler is registered under both the /diff and /filediff  paths.  /diff  is  used  in
       modern code.

   /filelog/{revision}/{path}
       Show information about the history of a file in the repository.

       The revcount query string argument can be defined to control the maximum number of entries
       to show.

       The filelog template will be rendered.

   /graph[/{revision}]
       Show information about the graphical topology of the repository.

       Information rendered by this handler can be  used  to  create  visual  representations  of
       repository topology.

       The revision URL parameter controls the starting changeset. If it's absent, the default is
       tip.

       The revcount query string argument can define the number of changesets to show information
       for.

       The graphtop query string argument can specify the starting changeset for producing jsdata
       variable that is used for rendering graph in JavaScript. By default it has the same  value
       as revision.

       This handler will render the graph template.

   /help[/{topic}]
       Render help documentation.

       This  web command is roughly equivalent to hg help. If a topic is defined, that help topic
       will be rendered. If not, an index of available help topics will be rendered.

       The help template will be rendered when requesting help for a topic.  helptopics  will  be
       rendered for the index of help topics.

   /log[/{revision}[/{path}]]
       Show repository or file history.

       For  URLs  of  the  form  /log/{revision},  a list of changesets starting at the specified
       changeset identifier is shown. If {revision} is not defined, the default is tip. This form
       is equivalent to the changelog handler.

       For  URLs  of  the  form  /log/{revision}/{file},  the history for a specific file will be
       shown. This form is equivalent to the filelog handler.

   /manifest[/{revision}[/{path}]]
       Show information about a directory.

       If the URL path arguments are omitted, information about the root directory  for  the  tip
       changeset will be shown.

       Because  this  handler can only show information for directories, it is recommended to use
       the file handler instead, as it can handle both directories and files.

       The manifest template will be rendered for this handler.

   /changeset[/{revision}]
       Show information about a single changeset.

       A URL path argument is the changeset  identifier  to  show.  See  hg  help  revisions  for
       possible values. If not defined, the tip changeset will be shown.

       The  changeset  template  is  rendered.  Contents  of the changesettag, changesetbookmark,
       filenodelink, filenolink, and the many templates related to  diffs  may  all  be  used  to
       produce the output.

   /shortlog
       Show basic information about a set of changesets.

       This  accepts  the  same  parameters  as the changelog handler. The only difference is the
       shortlog template will be rendered instead of the changelog template.

   /summary
       Show a summary of repository state.

       Information about the latest changesets, bookmarks, tags, and branches is captured by this
       handler.

       The summary template is rendered.

   /tags
       Show information about tags.

       No arguments are accepted.

       The tags template is rendered.

MERGE TOOLS

       To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.

       A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged file. Merge tools are
       given the two files and the greatest common ancestor of the two file versions, so they can
       determine the changes made on both branches.

       Merge  tools  are used both for hg resolve, hg merge, hg update, hg backout and in several
       extensions.

       Usually, the merge tool tries to  automatically  reconcile  the  files  by  combining  all
       non-overlapping  changes  that  occurred separately in the two different evolutions of the
       same initial base file. Furthermore, some interactive merge programs  make  it  easier  to
       manually  resolve  conflicting  merges,  either  in  a graphical way, or by inserting some
       conflict markers. Mercurial does not include any interactive merge programs but relies  on
       external tools for that.

   Available merge tools
       External  merge tools and their properties are configured in the merge-tools configuration
       section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just be named by their executable.

       A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the system  and  if  it
       can  handle the merge. The executable is found if it is an absolute or relative executable
       path or the name of an application in the executable search path. The tool is  assumed  to
       be  able to handle the merge if it can handle symlinks if the file is a symlink, if it can
       handle binary files if the file is binary, and if a GUI is available if the tool  requires
       a GUI.

       There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal merge tools are:

       :dump

              Creates  three  versions  of  the files to merge, containing the contents of local,
              other and base. These files can then be used to perform a merge  manually.  If  the
              file  to  be  merged  is  named  a.txt,  these  files  will  accordingly  be  named
              a.txt.local, a.txt.other and a.txt.base  and  they  will  be  placed  in  the  same
              directory as a.txt.

              This   implies   premerge.   Therefore,  files  aren't  dumped,  if  premerge  runs
              successfully. Use :forcedump to forcibly write files out.

              (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)

       :fail

              Rather than attempting to merge files that were modified on both branches, it marks
              them as unresolved. The resolve command must be used to resolve these conflicts.

              (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)

       :forcedump

              Creates three versions of the files as same as :dump, but omits premerge.

              (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)

       :local

              Uses the local p1() version of files as the merged version.

              (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)

       :merge

              Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will
              fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in  the  partially  merged  file.
              Markers will have two sections, one for each side of merge.

       :merge-local

              Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the local p1()
              changes.

       :merge-other

              Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the other p2()
              changes.

       :merge3

              Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will
              fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in  the  partially  merged  file.
              Marker  will  have  three sections, one from each side of the merge and one for the
              base content.

       :mergediff

              Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will
              fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the partially merged file. The
              marker will have two sections, one with the content from one side of the merge, and
              one  with  a  diff  from  the  base  content  to  the  content  on  the other side.
              (experimental)

       :other

              Uses the other p2() version of files as the merged version.

              (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)

       :prompt

              Asks the user which of the local p1() or the other p2()  version  to  keep  as  the
              merged version.

              (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)

       :tagmerge

              Uses the internal tag merge algorithm (experimental).

       :union

              Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will
              use both local and other sides for conflict regions  by  adding  local  on  top  of
              other.  No markers are inserted.

       :union-other-first

              Like :union, but add other on top of local.

       Internal  tools  are  always  available  and  do not require a GUI but will by default not
       handle symlinks or binary files. See next section for detail about  "actual  capabilities"
       described above.

   Choosing a merge tool
       Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:

       1. If  a  tool  has been specified with the --tool option to merge or resolve, it is used.
          If it is the name of a tool in the  merge-tools  configuration,  its  configuration  is
          used. Otherwise the specified tool must be executable by the shell.

       2. If  the  HGMERGE  environment  variable  is  present,  its  value  is  used and must be
          executable by the shell.

       3. If the filename of  the  file  to  be  merged  matches  any  of  the  patterns  in  the
          merge-patterns  configuration  section,  the first usable merge tool corresponding to a
          matching pattern is used.

       4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the  value  is  not  the  name  of  a
          configured  tool,  the  specified  value  is  used and must be executable by the shell.
          Otherwise the named tool is used if it is usable.

       5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration section, the one
          with the highest priority is used.

       6. If  a  program  named  hgmerge  can be found on the system, it is used - but it will by
          default not be used for symlinks and binary files.

       7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then  internal  :merge  is
          used.

       8. Otherwise, :prompt is used.

       For historical reason, Mercurial treats merge tools as below while examining rules above.

                            ┌───────────┬────────────────┬────────┬─────────┐

                            └───────────┴────────────────┴────────┴─────────┘

       Each  capability  column indicates Mercurial behavior for internal/external merge tools at
       examining each rule.

       • "o": "assume that a tool has capability"

       • "x": "assume that a tool does not have capability"

       • "?": "check actual capability of a tool"

       If merge.strict-capability-check configuration is true, Mercurial checks  capabilities  of
       merge  tools  strictly  in (*) cases above (= each capability column becomes "?/?"). It is
       false by default for backward compatibility.

       Note   After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default  attempt  to  merge  the
              files  using  a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it doesn't succeed because of
              conflicting changes will Mercurial actually execute the merge program.  Whether  to
              use  the  simple merge algorithm first can be controlled by the premerge setting of
              the merge tool. Premerge is enabled by default unless  the  file  is  binary  or  a
              symlink.

       See  the  merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the configuration of merge
       tools.

PAGER SUPPORT

       Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will attempt to  use  a
       pager to make those commands more pleasant.

       To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:

       [pager]
       pager = less -FRX

       If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the environment
       variable  $PAGER.  If  $PAGER  is  not  set,  pager.pager  from  the  default  or   system
       configuration  is  used. If none of these are set, a default pager will be used, typically
       less on Unix and more on Windows.

       On Windows, more is not color aware, so using it effectively  disables  color.   MSYS  and
       Cygwin  shells  provide  less  as  a  pager, which can be configured to support ANSI color
       codes.  See hg help config.color.pagermode to configure the color  mode  when  invoking  a
       pager.

       You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the pager.ignore list:

       [pager]
       ignore = version, help, update

       To  ignore  global  commands  like hg version or hg help, you have to specify them in your
       user configuration file.

       To control whether the pager is used at  all  for  an  individual  command,  you  can  use
       --pager=<value>:

          • use as needed: auto.

          • require the pager: yes or on.

          • suppress the pager: no or off (any unrecognized value will also work).

       To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set:

       [ui]
       paginate = never

       which will prevent the pager from running.

FILE NAME PATTERNS

       Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more files at a time.

       By  default, Mercurial treats filenames verbatim without pattern matching, relative to the
       current working directory. Note that your system shell might perform pattern  matching  of
       its own before passing filenames into Mercurial.

       Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.

       Note   Patterns  specified  in  .hgignore are not rooted.  Please see hg help hgignore for
              details.

       To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start it  with  path:.  These  path
       names  must  completely  match  starting at the current repository root, and when the path
       points to a directory, it is matched recursively.  To  match  all  files  in  a  directory
       non-recursively  (not  including  any  files in subdirectories), rootfilesin: can be used,
       specifying an absolute path (relative to the repository root).

       To use an extended glob, start a  name  with  glob:.  Globs  are  rooted  at  the  current
       directory;  a  glob such as *.c will only match files in the current directory ending with
       .c. rootglob: can be used instead of glob: for a glob that is rooted at the  root  of  the
       repository.

       The supported glob syntax extensions are ** to match any string across path separators and
       {a,b} to mean "a or b".

       To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with re:.  Regexp  pattern  matching
       is anchored at the root of the repository.

       To  read  name patterns from a file, use listfile: or listfile0:.  The latter expects null
       delimited patterns while the former expects line feeds. Each string read from the file  is
       itself treated as a file pattern.

       To read a set of patterns from a file, use include: or subinclude:.  include: will use all
       the patterns from the given file and treat them as if they had been  passed  in  manually.
       subinclude:  will  only  apply  the  patterns  against files that are under the subinclude
       file's directory. See hg help hgignore for details on the format of these files.

       All patterns, except for glob: specified in command line (not for -I or -X  options),  can
       match  also  against  directories: files under matched directories are treated as matched.
       For -I and -X options, glob: will match directories recursively.

       Plain examples:

       path:foo/bar        a name bar in a directory named foo in the root
                           of the repository
       path:path:name      a file or directory named "path:name"
       rootfilesin:foo/bar the files in a directory called foo/bar, but not any files
                           in its subdirectories and not a file bar in directory foo

       Glob examples:

       glob:*.c       any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
       *.c            any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
       **.c           any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of the
                      current directory including itself.
       foo/*          any file in directory foo
       foo/**         any file in directory foo plus all its subdirectories,
                      recursively
       foo/*.c        any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
       foo/**.c       any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of foo
                      including itself.
       rootglob:*.c   any name ending in ".c" in the root of the repository

       Regexp examples:

       re:.*\.c$      any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository

       File examples:

       listfile:list.txt  read list from list.txt with one file pattern per line
       listfile0:list.txt read list from list.txt with null byte delimiters

       See also hg help filesets.

       Include examples:

       include:path/to/mypatternfile    reads patterns to be applied to all paths
       subinclude:path/to/subignorefile reads patterns specifically for paths in the
                                        subdirectory

WORKING WITH PHASES

   What are phases?
       Phases are a system for tracking which changesets have been  or  should  be  shared.  This
       helps  prevent common mistakes when modifying history (for instance, with the mq or rebase
       extensions).

       Each changeset in a repository is in one of the following phases:

          • public : changeset is visible on a public server

          • draft : changeset is not yet published

          • secret : changeset should not be pushed, pulled, or cloned

       These phases are ordered (public < draft < secret) and no changeset  can  be  in  a  lower
       phase  than  its  ancestors. For instance, if a changeset is public, all its ancestors are
       also public. Lastly, changeset phases should only be changed towards the public phase.

   How are phases managed?
       For the most part, phases should work transparently. By default, a changeset is created in
       the  draft  phase  and  is  moved  into  the  public  phase  when  it is pushed to another
       repository.

       Once changesets become public, extensions like mq and rebase will  refuse  to  operate  on
       them  to  prevent  creating duplicate changesets.  Phases can also be manually manipulated
       with the hg phase command if needed. See hg help -v phase for examples.

       To make your commits secret by default, put this in your configuration file:

       [phases]
       new-commit = secret

   Phases and servers
       Normally, all servers are publishing by default. This means:

       - all draft changesets that are pulled or cloned appear in phase
       public on the client

       - all draft changesets that are pushed appear as public on both
       client and server

       - secret changesets are neither pushed, pulled, or cloned

       Note   Pulling a draft changeset from a publishing server does not mark it  as  public  on
              the server side due to the read-only nature of pull.

       Sometimes  it  may  be  desirable  to push and pull changesets in the draft phase to share
       unfinished work. This can be done by setting a repository to  disable  publishing  in  its
       configuration file:

       [phases]
       publish = False

       See hg help config for more information on configuration files.

       Note   Servers running older versions of Mercurial are treated as publishing.

       Note   Changesets in secret phase are not exchanged with the server. This applies to their
              content: file names, file contents, and changeset metadata. For technical  reasons,
              the  identifier  (e.g. d825e4025e39) of the secret changeset may be communicated to
              the server.

   Examples
          • list changesets in draft or secret phase:

            hg log -r "not public()"

          • change all secret changesets to draft:

            hg phase --draft "secret()"

          • forcibly move the current changeset and descendants from public to draft:

            hg phase --force --draft .

          • show a list of changeset revisions and each corresponding phase:

            hg log --template "{rev} {phase}\n"

          • resynchronize draft changesets relative to a remote repository:

SPECIFYING REVISIONS

       Mercurial supports several ways to specify revisions.

   Specifying single revisions
       A plain integer is treated  as  a  revision  number.  Negative  integers  are  treated  as
       sequential  offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2 denoting the revision prior
       to the tip, and so forth.

       A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier.   A  hexadecimal
       string  less  than  40  characters  long is treated as a unique revision identifier and is
       referred to as a short-form identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the
       prefix of exactly one full-length identifier.

       Any  other  string  is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark is a movable
       pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated with a revision. A branch name
       denotes  the  tipmost  open  branch  head  of that branch - or if they are all closed, the
       tipmost closed head of the branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must  not  contain  the
       ":" character.

       The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.

       The  reserved  name  "null"  indicates the null revision. This is the revision of an empty
       repository, and the parent of revision 0.

       The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no working  directory  is
       checked  out, it is equivalent to null. If an uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the
       revision of the first parent.

       Finally, commands that expect a single revision (like hg update) also accept revsets  (see
       below  for  details). When given a revset, they use the last revision of the revset. A few
       commands accept two single revisions (like hg diff). When given a  revset,  they  use  the
       first and the last revisions of the revset.

   Specifying multiple revisions
       Mercurial  supports a functional language for selecting a set of revisions. Expressions in
       this language are called revsets.

       The language supports a  number  of  predicates  which  are  joined  by  infix  operators.
       Parenthesis can be used for grouping.

       Identifiers  such  as  branch  names may need quoting with single or double quotes if they
       contain characters like - or if they match one of the predefined predicates.

       Special characters can be used in  quoted  identifiers  by  escaping  them,  e.g.,  \n  is
       interpreted  as a newline. To prevent them from being interpreted, strings can be prefixed
       with r, e.g. r'...'.

   Operators
       There is a single prefix operator:

       not x

              Changesets not in x. Short form is ! x.

       These are the supported infix operators:

       x::y

              A DAG range, meaning all changesets that are descendants of x and ancestors  of  y,
              including x and y themselves. If the first endpoint is left out, this is equivalent
              to ancestors(y), if the second is left out it is equivalent to descendants(x).

              An alternative syntax is x..y.

       x:y

              All changesets with revision numbers  between  x  and  y,  both  inclusive.  Either
              endpoint can be left out, they default to 0 and tip.

       x and y

              The intersection of changesets in x and y. Short form is x & y.

       x or y

              The  union  of  changesets in x and y. There are two alternative short forms: x | y
              and x + y.

       x - y

              Changesets in x but not in y.

       x % y

              Changesets that are ancestors of x but not ancestors of y (i.e. ::x -  ::y).   This
              is  shorthand  notation for only(x, y) (see below). The second argument is optional
              and, if left out, is equivalent to only(x).

       x^n

              The nth parent of x, n == 0, 1, or 2.  For n == 0, x; for n == 1, the first  parent
              of each changeset in x; for n == 2, the second parent of changeset in x.

       x~n

              The nth first ancestor of x; x~0 is x; x~3 is x^^^.  For n < 0, the nth unambiguous
              descendent of x.

       x ## y

              Concatenate strings and identifiers into one string.

              All other prefix, infix and postfix operators have  lower  priority  than  ##.  For
              example, a1 ## a2~2 is equivalent to (a1 ## a2)~2.

              For example:

              [revsetalias]
              issue(a1) = grep(r'\bissue[ :]?' ## a1 ## r'\b|\bbug\(' ## a1 ## r'\)')

              issue(1234)  is  equivalent  to  grep(r'\bissue[  :]?1234\b|\bbug\(1234\)') in this
              case. This matches against all  of  "issue  1234",  "issue:1234",  "issue1234"  and
              "bug(1234)".

       There is a single postfix operator:

       x^

              Equivalent to x^1, the first parent of each changeset in x.

   Patterns
       Where  noted,  predicates  that  perform  string matching can accept a pattern string. The
       pattern may be either a literal, or a regular expression. If the pattern starts with  re:,
       the  remainder of the pattern is treated as a regular expression. Otherwise, it is treated
       as a literal. To match a pattern that actually starts with re:, use the prefix literal:.

       Matching is case-sensitive, unless otherwise noted.  To perform a case- insensitive  match
       on a case-sensitive predicate, use a regular expression, prefixed with (?i).

       For example, tag(r're:(?i)release') matches "release" or "RELEASE" or "Release", etc.

   Predicates
       The following predicates are supported:

       adds(pattern)

              Changesets that add a file matching pattern.

              The  pattern  without  explicit  kind  like glob: is expected to be relative to the
              current directory and match against a file or a directory.

       all()

              All changesets, the same as 0:tip.

       ancestor(*changeset)

              A greatest common ancestor of the changesets.

              Accepts 0 or more  changesets.   Will  return  empty  list  when  passed  no  args.
              Greatest common ancestor of a single changeset is that changeset.

       ancestors(set[, depth])

              Changesets  that are ancestors of changesets in set, including the given changesets
              themselves.

              If depth is specified, the result only includes  changesets  up  to  the  specified
              generation.

       author(string)

              Alias for user(string).

       bisect(string)

              Changesets marked in the specified bisect status:

              • good, bad, skip: csets explicitly marked as good/bad/skip

              • goods, bads      : csets topologically good/bad

              • range              : csets taking part in the bisection

              • pruned             : csets that are goods, bads or skipped

              • untested           : csets whose fate is yet unknown

              • ignored            : csets ignored due to DAG topology

              • current            : the cset currently being bisected

       bookmark([name])

              The named bookmark or all bookmarks.

              Pattern matching is supported for name. See hg help revisions.patterns.

       branch(string or set)

              All  changesets  belonging  to  the  given  branch  or  the  branches  of the given
              changesets.

              Pattern matching is supported for string. See hg help revisions.patterns.

       branchpoint()

              Changesets with more than one child.

       bundle()

              Changesets in the bundle.

              Bundle must be specified by the -R option.

       children(set)

              Child changesets of changesets in set.

       closed()

              Changeset is closed.

       commonancestors(set)

              Changesets that are ancestors of every changeset in set.

       conflictlocal()

              The local side of the merge, if currently in an unresolved merge.

              "merge" here includes merge conflicts from e.g. 'hg rebase' or 'hg graft'.

       conflictother()

              The other side of the merge, if currently in an unresolved merge.

              "merge" here includes merge conflicts from e.g. 'hg rebase' or 'hg graft'.

       contains(pattern)

              The revision's manifest contains a file matching pattern (but might not modify it).
              See hg help patterns for information about file patterns.

              The  pattern  without  explicit  kind  like glob: is expected to be relative to the
              current directory and match against a file exactly for efficiency.

       converted([id])

              Changesets converted from the given identifier in the old repository if present, or
              all converted changesets if no identifier is specified.

       date(interval)

              Changesets within the interval, see hg help dates.

       desc(string)

              Search commit message for string. The match is case-insensitive.

              Pattern matching is supported for string. See hg help revisions.patterns.

       descendants(set[, depth])

              Changesets  which  are  descendants  of  changesets  in  set,  including  the given
              changesets themselves.

              If depth is specified, the result only includes  changesets  up  to  the  specified
              generation.

       destination([set])

              Changesets  that  were created by a graft, transplant or rebase operation, with the
              given revisions specified as the source.  Omitting the optional set is the same  as
              passing all().

       diffcontains(pattern)

              Search revision differences for when the pattern was added or removed.

              The  pattern  may  be  a  substring  literal  or  a regular expression. See hg help
              revisions.patterns.

       draft()

              Changeset in draft phase.

       expectsize(set[, size])

              Return the given revset if size matches the  revset  size.   Abort  if  the  revset
              doesn't expect given size.  size can either be an integer range or an integer.

              For  example,  expectsize(0:1,  3:5)  will  abort  as revset size is 2 and 2 is not
              between 3 and 5 inclusive.

       extra(label, [value])

              Changesets with the given label in the extra  metadata,  with  the  given  optional
              value.

              Pattern matching is supported for value. See hg help revisions.patterns.

       file(pattern)

              Changesets affecting files matched by pattern.

              For a faster but less accurate result, consider using filelog() instead.

              This predicate uses glob: as the default kind of pattern.

       filelog(pattern)

              Changesets connected to the specified filelog.

              For performance reasons, visits only revisions mentioned in the file-level filelog,
              rather than filtering through all changesets  (much  faster,  but  doesn't  include
              deletes or duplicate changes). For a slower, more accurate result, use file().

              The  pattern  without  explicit  kind  like glob: is expected to be relative to the
              current directory and match against a file exactly for efficiency.

       first(set, [n])

              An alias for limit().

       follow([file[, startrev]])

              An alias for ::. (ancestors of the working  directory's  first  parent).   If  file
              pattern is specified, the histories of files matching given pattern in the revision
              given by startrev are followed, including copies.

       followlines(file, fromline:toline[, startrev=., descend=False])

              Changesets modifying file in line range ('fromline', 'toline').

              Line range corresponds  to  'file'  content  at  'startrev'  and  should  hence  be
              consistent with file size. If startrev is not specified, working directory's parent
              is used.

              By default, ancestors of 'startrev' are returned. If 'descend' is True, descendants
              of  'startrev'  are  returned  though  renames are (currently) not followed in this
              direction.

       grep(regex)

              Like keyword(string) but accepts a regex. Use grep(r'...') to ensure special escape
              characters   are   handled   correctly.   Unlike   keyword(string),  the  match  is
              case-sensitive.

       head()

              Changeset is a named branch head.

       heads(set)

              Members of set with no children in set.

       hidden()

              Hidden changesets.

       id(string)

              Revision non-ambiguously specified by the given hex string prefix.

       keyword(string)

              Search commit message, user name, and names of changed files for string. The  match
              is case-insensitive.

              For a regular expression or case sensitive search of these fields, use grep(regex).

       last(set, [n])

              Last n members of set, defaulting to 1.

       limit(set[, n[, offset]])

              First n members of set, defaulting to 1, starting from offset.

       matching(revision [, field])

              Changesets  in  which a given set of fields match the set of fields in the selected
              revision or set.

              To match more than one field pass the list of fields to match separated  by  spaces
              (e.g. author description).

              Valid fields are most regular revision fields and some special fields.

              Regular  revision  fields  are  description,  author,  branch,  date, files, phase,
              parents, substate, user and diff.  Note that author and  user  are  synonyms.  diff
              refers to the contents of the revision. Two revisions matching their diff will also
              match their files.

              Special fields are summary and metadata: summary matches  the  first  line  of  the
              description.   metadata  is  equivalent  to matching description user date (i.e. it
              matches the main metadata fields).

              metadata is the default field which is used when no fields are specified.  You  can
              match more than one field at a time.

       max(set)

              Changeset with highest revision number in set.

       merge()

              Changeset is a merge changeset.

       min(set)

              Changeset with lowest revision number in set.

       modifies(pattern)

              Changesets modifying files matched by pattern.

              The  pattern  without  explicit  kind  like glob: is expected to be relative to the
              current directory and match against a file or a directory.

       named(namespace)

              The changesets in a given namespace.

              Pattern matching is supported for namespace. See hg help revisions.patterns.

       nodefromfile(path)

              Read a list of nodes from the file at path.

              This applies id(LINE) to each line of the file.

              This is useful when the amount of nodes you need to specify gets too large for  the
              command line.

       none()

              No changesets.

       only(set, [set])

              Changesets  that are ancestors of the first set that are not ancestors of any other
              head in the repo. If a second set is specified, the  result  is  ancestors  of  the
              first set that are not ancestors of the second set (i.e. ::<set1> - ::<set2>).

       origin([set])

              Changesets  that  were specified as a source for the grafts, transplants or rebases
              that created the given revisions.  Omitting the optional set is the same as passing
              all().   If a changeset created by these operations is itself specified as a source
              for one of these operations, only the source changeset for the first  operation  is
              selected.

       outgoing([path])

              Changesets  not  found in the specified destination repository, or the default push
              location.

              If the location resolve  to  multiple  repositories,  the  union  of  all  outgoing
              changeset will be used.

       p1([set])

              First parent of changesets in set, or the working directory.

       p2([set])

              Second parent of changesets in set, or the working directory.

       parents([set])

              The set of all parents for all changesets in set, or the working directory.

       present(set)

              An empty set, if any revision in set isn't found; otherwise, all revisions in set.

              If  any of specified revisions is not present in the local repository, the query is
              normally aborted. But this predicate allows the query  to  continue  even  in  such
              cases.

       public()

              Changeset in public phase.

       remote([id [,path]])

              Local  revision that corresponds to the given identifier in a remote repository, if
              present. Here, the '.' identifier is a synonym for the current local branch.

       removes(pattern)

              Changesets which remove files matching pattern.

              The pattern without explicit kind like glob: is expected  to  be  relative  to  the
              current directory and match against a file or a directory.

       rev(number)

              Revision with the given numeric identifier.

       reverse(set)

              Reverse order of set.

       revset(set)

              Strictly interpret the content as a revset.

              The content of this special predicate will be strictly interpreted as a revset. For
              example, revset(id(0)) will be interpreted as "id(0)"  without  possible  ambiguity
              with a "id(0)" bookmark or tag.

       roots(set)

              Changesets in set with no parent changeset in set.

       secret()

              Changeset in secret phase.

       sort(set[, [-]key... [, ...]])

              Sort  set  by  keys.  The default sort order is ascending, specify a key as -key to
              sort in descending order.

              The keys can be:

              • rev for the revision number,

              • branch for the branch name,

              • desc for the commit message (description),

              • user for user name (author can be used as an alias),

              • date for the commit date

              • topo for a reverse topographical sort

              • node the nodeid of the revision

              • random randomly shuffle revisions

              The topo sort order cannot be combined with other sort keys. This  sort  takes  one
              optional  argument,  topo.firstbranch,  which  takes  a  revset that specifies what
              topographical branches to prioritize in the sort.

              The  random  sort  takes  one  optional  random.seed  argument   to   control   the
              pseudo-randomness of the result.

       subrepo([pattern])

              Changesets  that add, modify or remove the given subrepo.  If no subrepo pattern is
              named, any subrepo changes are returned.

       tag([name])

              The specified tag by name, or all tagged revisions if no name is given.

              Pattern matching is supported for name. See hg help revisions.patterns.

       user(string)

              User name contains string. The match is case-insensitive.

              Pattern matching is supported for string. See hg help revisions.patterns.

   Aliases
       New predicates (known as "aliases") can be defined,  using  any  combination  of  existing
       predicates or other aliases. An alias definition looks like:

       <alias> = <definition>

       in  the  revsetalias  section of a Mercurial configuration file. Arguments of the form a1,
       a2, etc. are substituted from the alias into the definition.

       For example,

       [revsetalias]
       h = heads()
       d(s) = sort(s, date)
       rs(s, k) = reverse(sort(s, k))

       defines three  aliases,  h,  d,  and  rs.  rs(0:tip,  author)  is  exactly  equivalent  to
       reverse(sort(0:tip, author)).

   Equivalents
       Command line equivalents for hg log:

       -f    ->  ::.
       -d x  ->  date(x)
       -k x  ->  keyword(x)
       -m    ->  merge()
       -u x  ->  user(x)
       -b x  ->  branch(x)
       -P x  ->  !::x
       -l x  ->  limit(expr, x)

   Examples
       Some sample queries:

       • Changesets on the default branch:

         hg log -r "branch(default)"

       • Changesets on the default branch since tag 1.5 (excluding merges):

         hg log -r "branch(default) and 1.5:: and not merge()"

       • Open branch heads:

         hg log -r "head() and not closed()"

       • Changesets between tags 1.3 and 1.5 mentioning "bug" that affect hgext/*:

         hg log -r "1.3::1.5 and keyword(bug) and file('hgext/*')"

       • Changesets committed in May 2008, sorted by user:

         hg log -r "sort(date('May 2008'), user)"

       • Changesets mentioning "bug" or "issue" that are not in a tagged release:

         hg log -r "(keyword(bug) or keyword(issue)) and not ancestors(tag())"

       • Update  to  the  commit  that bookmark @ is pointing to, without activating the bookmark
         (this works because the last revision of the revset is used):

         hg update :@

       • Show diff between tags 1.3 and 1.5 (this works because the first and the last  revisions
         of the revset are used):

         hg diff -r 1.3::1.5

RUST IN MERCURIAL

       Mercurial can be augmented with Rust extensions for speeding up certain operations.

   Compatibility
       Though  the  Rust  extensions  are only tested by the project under Linux, users of MacOS,
       FreeBSD and other UNIX-likes have been using the Rust extensions. Your mileage  may  vary,
       but by all means do give us feedback or signal your interest for better support.

       No Rust extensions are available for Windows at this time.

   Features
       The following operations are sped up when using Rust:

          • discovery of differences between repositories (pull/push)

          • nodemap (see hg help config.format.use-persistent-nodemap)

          • all commands using the dirstate (status, commit, diff, add, update, etc.)

          • dirstate-v2 (see hg help config.format.use-dirstate-v2)

          • iteration over ancestors in a graph

       More  features  are  in  the  works,  and  improvements  on  the above listed are still in
       progress. For more experimental work see the "rhg" section.

   Checking for Rust
       You may already have the Rust extensions depending on how you install Mercurial:

       $ hg debuginstall | grep -i rust
       checking Rust extensions (installed)
       checking module policy (rust+c-allow)

       If those lines don't even exist, you're using an old version of hg which does not have any
       Rust extensions yet.

   Installing
       You will need cargo to be in your $PATH. See the "MSRV" section for which version to use.

   Using pip
       Users of pip can install the Rust extensions with the following command:

       $ pip install mercurial --global-option --rust --no-use-pep517

       --no-use-pep517  is  here  to tell pip to preserve backwards compatibility with the legacy
       setup.py system. Mercurial has not yet migrated its complex setup to the new system, so we
       still need this to add compiled extensions.

       This might take a couple of minutes because you're compiling everything.

       See the "Checking for Rust" section to see if the install succeeded.

   From your distribution
       Some  distributions  are  shipping Mercurial with Rust extensions enabled and pre-compiled
       (meaning you won't have to install cargo), or allow you to specify an install flag.  Check
       with  your  specific distribution for how to do that, or ask their team to add support for
       hg+Rust!

   From source
       Please refer to the rust/README.rst file in the Mercurial repository for  instructions  on
       how to install from source.

   MSRV
       The  minimum supported Rust version is currently 1.61.0. The project's policy is to follow
       the version from Debian testing, to make the distributions' job easier.

   rhg
       There exists an experimental pure-Rust version of Mercurial called  rhg  with  a  fallback
       mechanism  for  unsupported  invocations.  It  allows for much faster execution of certain
       commands while adding no discernable overhead for the rest.

       The only  way  of  trying  it  out  is  by  building  it  from  source.  Please  refer  to
       rust/README.rst in the Mercurial repository.

       See hg help config.rhg for configuration options.

USING MERCURIAL FROM SCRIPTS AND AUTOMATION

       It is common for machines (as opposed to humans) to consume Mercurial.   This  help  topic
       describes some of the considerations for interfacing machines with Mercurial.

   Choosing an Interface
       Machines have a choice of several methods to interface with Mercurial.  These include:

       • Executing the hg process

       • Querying a HTTP server

       • Calling out to a command server

       Executing hg processes is very similar to how humans interact with Mercurial in the shell.
       It should already be familiar to you.

       hg serve can be used to start a server. By default, this will start a "hgweb" HTTP server.
       This  HTTP  server has support for machine-readable output, such as JSON. For more, see hg
       help hgweb.

       hg serve can also start a "command server." Clients can connect to this server  and  issue
       Mercurial  commands  over  a  special  protocol.   For more details on the command server,
       including links to client libraries, see https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/CommandServer.

       hg serve based interfaces (the hgweb and command servers) have the advantage  over  simple
       hg  process  invocations  in that they are likely more efficient. This is because there is
       significant overhead to spawn new Python processes.

       Tip    If you need to invoke several hg processes in short  order  and/or  performance  is
              important to you, use of a server-based interface is highly recommended.

   Environment Variables
       As  documented  in  hg  help  environment,  various  environment  variables  influence the
       operation of Mercurial. The following are particularly  relevant  for  machines  consuming
       Mercurial:

       HGPLAIN
              If  not  set, Mercurial's output could be influenced by configuration settings that
              impact its encoding, verbose mode, localization, etc.

              It is highly recommended for  machines  to  set  this  variable  when  invoking  hg
              processes.

       HGENCODING
              If  not set, the locale used by Mercurial will be detected from the environment. If
              the determined locale does not support display of certain characters, Mercurial may
              render  these  character sequences incorrectly (often by using "?" as a placeholder
              for invalid characters in the current locale).

              Explicitly setting this environment  variable  is  a  good  practice  to  guarantee
              consistent results. "utf-8" is a good choice on UNIX-like environments.

       HGRCPATH
              If  not  set,  Mercurial  will  inherit  config options from config files using the
              process described in hg help config. This includes inheriting user  or  system-wide
              config files.

              When  utmost  control  over  the  Mercurial  configuration is desired, the value of
              HGRCPATH can be set to an explicit file with known good configs. In rare cases, the
              value  can  be  set to an empty file or the null device (often /dev/null) to bypass
              loading of any user or system config files. Note that  these  approaches  can  have
              unintended  consequences,  as  the user and system config files often define things
              like the username  and  extensions  that  may  be  required  to  interface  with  a
              repository.

       HGRCSKIPREPO
              When set, the .hg/hgrc from repositories are not read.

              Note   that   not  reading  the  repository's  configuration  can  have  unintended
              consequences, as the repository config files can define things like extensions that
              are required for access to the repository.

   Command-line Flags
       Mercurial's  default command-line parser is designed for humans, and is not robust against
       malicious input. For instance, you can start a debugger by passing --debugger as an option
       value:

       $ REV=--debugger sh -c 'hg log -r "$REV"'

       This  happens  because  several  command-line  flags  need  to  be scanned without using a
       concrete command table, which may  be  modified  while  loading  repository  settings  and
       extensions.

       Since   Mercurial  4.4.2,  the  parsing  of  such  flags  may  be  restricted  by  setting
       HGPLAIN=+strictflags.  When  this  feature   is   enabled,   all   early   options   (e.g.
       -R/--repository,  --cwd,  --config)  must  be  specified  first  amongst  the other global
       options, and cannot be injected to an arbitrary location:

       $ HGPLAIN=+strictflags hg -R "$REPO" log -r "$REV"

       In earlier Mercurial versions where +strictflags isn't available,  you  can  mitigate  the
       issue by concatenating an option value with its flag:

       $ hg log -r"$REV" --keyword="$KEYWORD"

   Consuming Command Output
       It  is  common for machines to need to parse the output of Mercurial commands for relevant
       data. This section describes the various techniques for doing so.

   Parsing Raw Command Output
       Likely the simplest and most effective solution for consuming command output is to  simply
       invoke hg commands as you would as a user and parse their output.

       The output of many commands can easily be parsed with tools like grep, sed, and awk.

       A potential downside with parsing command output is that the output of commands can change
       when Mercurial is upgraded. While Mercurial does generally  strive  for  strong  backwards
       compatibility,  command  output  does occasionally change. Having tests for your automated
       interactions with hg commands is generally recommended, but is even  more  important  when
       raw command output parsing is involved.

   Using Templates to Control Output
       Many  hg commands support templatized output via the -T/--template argument. For more, see
       hg help templates.

       Templates are useful for explicitly controlling output so that you get  exactly  the  data
       you  want  formatted  how you want it. For example, log -T {node}\n can be used to print a
       newline delimited list of changeset nodes instead of a  human-tailored  output  containing
       authors, dates, descriptions, etc.

       Tip    If  parsing raw command output is too complicated, consider using templates to make
              your life easier.

       The -T/--template argument allows specifying pre-defined styles.  Mercurial ships with the
       machine-readable  styles  cbor,  json,  and xml, which provide CBOR, JSON, and XML output,
       respectively.  These are useful for producing output that is machine readable as-is.

       (Mercurial 5.0 is required for CBOR style.)

       Important
              The json and xml styles are considered experimental. While they may  be  attractive
              to  use  for easily obtaining machine-readable output, their behavior may change in
              subsequent versions.

              These styles  may  also  exhibit  unexpected  results  when  dealing  with  certain
              encodings.  Mercurial  treats  things  like  filenames  as  a  series  of bytes and
              normalizing certain byte sequences to JSON or XML with  certain  encoding  settings
              can lead to surprises.

   Command Server Output
       If  using  the command server to interact with Mercurial, you are likely using an existing
       library/API that abstracts implementation details of  the  command  server.  If  so,  this
       interface  layer  may  perform  parsing  for  you,  saving you the work of implementing it
       yourself.

   Output Verbosity
       Commands often have varying output verbosity, even when machine readable styles are  being
       used  (e.g.  -T  json).  Adding  -v/--verbose  and  --debug to the command's arguments can
       increase the amount of data exposed by Mercurial.

       An alternate way to get the data you need is by explicitly specifying a template.

   Other Topics
       revsets
              Revisions sets is a functional query language for selecting  a  set  of  revisions.
              Think  of  it  as  SQL  for Mercurial repositories. Revsets are useful for querying
              repositories for specific data.

              See hg help revsets for more.

       share extension
              The share extension provides  functionality  for  sharing  repository  data  across
              several  working  copies.  It  can  even automatically "pool" storage for logically
              related repositories when cloning.

              Configuring the share  extension  can  lead  to  significant  resource  utilization
              reduction,  particularly around disk space and the network. This is especially true
              for continuous integration (CI) environments.

              See hg help -e share for more.

SUBREPOSITORIES

       Subrepositories let you nest external repositories or projects  into  a  parent  Mercurial
       repository, and make commands operate on them as a group.

       Mercurial currently supports Mercurial, Git, and Subversion subrepositories.

       Subrepositories are made of three components:

       1. Nested repository checkouts. They can appear anywhere in the parent working directory.

       2. Nested repository references. They are defined in .hgsub, which should be placed in the
          root of working directory, and  tell  where  the  subrepository  checkouts  come  from.
          Mercurial subrepositories are referenced like:

          path/to/nested = https://example.com/nested/repo/path

          Git and Subversion subrepos are also supported:

          path/to/nested = [git]git://example.com/nested/repo/path
          path/to/nested = [svn]https://example.com/nested/trunk/path

          where  path/to/nested is the checkout location relatively to the parent Mercurial root,
          and https://example.com/nested/repo/path is the source repository path. The source  can
          also reference a filesystem path.

          Note  that  .hgsub  does  not  exist  by default in Mercurial repositories, you have to
          create and add it to the parent repository before using subrepositories.

       3. Nested repository states. They are defined in .hgsubstate, which is placed in the  root
          of  working  directory,  and  capture  whatever  information is required to restore the
          subrepositories to the state they were committed  in  a  parent  repository  changeset.
          Mercurial  automatically  record  the nested repositories states when committing in the
          parent repository.

       Note
          The .hgsubstate file should not be edited manually.

   Adding a Subrepository
       If .hgsub does not exist, create it and add it to the parent repository. Clone or checkout
       the  external projects where you want it to live in the parent repository. Edit .hgsub and
       add the subrepository entry as described  above.  At  this  point,  the  subrepository  is
       tracked  and  the  next  commit  will  record  its state in .hgsubstate and bind it to the
       committed changeset.

   Synchronizing a Subrepository
       Subrepos do not automatically track the latest changeset of their sources.  Instead,  they
       are  updated  to  the  changeset  that  corresponds  with the changeset checked out in the
       top-level changeset. This is so developers always get a consistent set of compatible  code
       and libraries when they update.

       Thus,  updating  subrepos  is  a  manual  process.  Simply check out target subrepo at the
       desired revision, test in the top-level repo, then commit  in  the  parent  repository  to
       record the new combination.

   Deleting a Subrepository
       To  remove  a  subrepository from the parent repository, delete its reference from .hgsub,
       then remove its files.

   Interaction with Mercurial Commands
       add    add does not recurse in subrepos unless -S/--subrepos is  specified.   However,  if
              you  specify  the  full  path of a file in a subrepo, it will be added even without
              -S/--subrepos  specified.   Subversion  subrepositories  are   currently   silently
              ignored.

       addremove
              addremove  does  not  recurse  into  subrepos  unless  -S/--subrepos  is specified.
              However, if you specify the full path of a directory in a subrepo,  addremove  will
              be  performed on it even without -S/--subrepos being specified.  Git and Subversion
              subrepositories will print a warning and continue.

       archive
              archive does not recurse in subrepositories unless -S/--subrepos is specified.

       cat    Git subrepositories only support exact file  matches.   Subversion  subrepositories
              are currently ignored.

       commit commit  creates  a  consistent  snapshot of the state of the entire project and its
              subrepositories. If any subrepositories have been modified, Mercurial  will  abort.
              Mercurial  can be made to instead commit all modified subrepositories by specifying
              -S/--subrepos, or setting "ui.commitsubrepos=True" in a configuration file (see  hg
              help  config).   After there are no longer any modified subrepositories, it records
              their state and finally commits it  in  the  parent  repository.   The  --addremove
              option   also  honors  the  -S/--subrepos  option.   However,  Git  and  Subversion
              subrepositories will print a warning and abort.

       diff   diff does not recurse in subrepos unless -S/--subrepos is specified.   However,  if
              you  specify  the  full path of a file or directory in a subrepo, it will be diffed
              even  without  -S/--subrepos  being  specified.   Subversion  subrepositories   are
              currently silently ignored.

       files  files  does  not recurse into subrepos unless -S/--subrepos is specified.  However,
              if you specify the full path of a file or  directory  in  a  subrepo,  it  will  be
              displayed   even   without  -S/--subrepos  being  specified.   Git  and  Subversion
              subrepositories are currently silently ignored.

       forget forget currently only handles exact file matches in subrepos.  Git  and  Subversion
              subrepositories are currently silently ignored.

       incoming
              incoming  does  not  recurse in subrepos unless -S/--subrepos is specified. Git and
              Subversion subrepositories are currently silently ignored.

       outgoing
              outgoing does not recurse in subrepos unless -S/--subrepos is  specified.  Git  and
              Subversion subrepositories are currently silently ignored.

       pull   pull is not recursive since it is not clear what to pull prior to running hg update
              . Listing and retrieving all  subrepositories  changes  referenced  by  the  parent
              repository  pulled  changesets  is  expensive at best, impossible in the Subversion
              case.

       push   Mercurial will  automatically  push  all  subrepositories  first  when  the  parent
              repository  is  being  pushed. This ensures new subrepository changes are available
              when referenced  by  top-level  repositories.   Push  is  a  no-op  for  Subversion
              subrepositories.

       serve  serve does not recurse into subrepositories unless -S/--subrepos is specified.  Git
              and Subversion subrepositories are currently silently ignored.

       status status does not recurse into subrepositories  unless  -S/--subrepos  is  specified.
              Subrepository   changes   are   displayed  as  regular  Mercurial  changes  on  the
              subrepository elements. Subversion subrepositories are currently silently ignored.

       remove remove does not recurse into subrepositories  unless  -S/--subrepos  is  specified.
              However,  if  you specify a file or directory path in a subrepo, it will be removed
              even without -S/--subrepos.   Git  and  Subversion  subrepositories  are  currently
              silently ignored.

       update update  restores the subrepos in the state they were originally committed in target
              changeset. If the recorded changeset is not available in the current subrepository,
              Mercurial  will  pull  it  in  first before updating.  This means that updating can
              require network access when using subrepositories.

   Remapping Subrepositories Sources
       A subrepository source location may change during a project life, invalidating  references
       stored  in  the  parent repository history. To fix this, rewriting rules can be defined in
       parent repository hgrc file or in Mercurial configuration. See the [subpaths]  section  in
       hgrc(5) for more details.

TEMPLATE USAGE

       Mercurial  allows  you  to  customize output of commands through templates. You can either
       pass in a template or select an existing template-style from the  command  line,  via  the
       --template option.

       You  can  customize  output  for  any  "log-like"  command:  log, outgoing, incoming, tip,
       parents, and heads.

       Some built-in styles are packaged  with  Mercurial.  These  can  be  listed  with  hg  log
       --template list. Example usage:

       $ hg log -r1.0::1.1 --template changelog

       A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable expansion:

       $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n"
       b56ce7b07c52de7d5fd79fb89701ea538af65746

   Keywords
       Strings  in  curly braces are called keywords. The availability of keywords depends on the
       exact context of the templater. These keywords are  usually  available  for  templating  a
       log-like command:

       _fast_rank
              the rank of a changeset if cached

              The  rank  of  a  revision  is  the  size  of  the  sub-graph it defines as a head.

       The  "date"  keyword  does not produce human-readable output. If you want to use a date in
       your output, you can use a filter to process it. Filters  are  functions  which  return  a
       string  based on the input variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're
       applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable.  You can also use a chain of
       filters to get the desired output:

       $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n"
       2008-08-21 18:22 +0000

   Filters
       List of filters:

       addbreaks
              Any text. Add an XHTML "<br />" tag before the end of every line except the last.

       age    Date. Returns a human-readable date/time difference between the given date/time and
              the current date/time.

       basename
              Any text. Treats the text as a path, and returns the last  component  of  the  path
              after  splitting  by  the path separator.  For example, "foo/bar/baz" becomes "baz"
              and "foo/bar//" becomes "".

       cbor   Any object. Serializes the object to CBOR bytes.

       commondir
              List of text. Treats each list item as file name  with  /  as  path  separator  and
              returns  the longest common directory prefix shared by all list items.  Returns the
              empty string if no common prefix exists.

              The list items are not normalized, i.e. "foo/../bar" is handled as  file  "bar"  in
              the directory "foo/..". Leading slashes are ignored.

              For  example,  ["foo/bar/baz",  "foo/baz/bar"] becomes "foo" and ["foo/bar", "baz"]
              becomes "".

       count  List or text. Returns the length as an integer.

       dirname
              Any text. Treats the text as a path, and strips the  last  component  of  the  path
              after splitting by the path separator.

       domain Any  text.  Finds  the  first string that looks like an email address, and extracts
              just the domain component. Example: User <user@example.com> becomes example.com.

       email  Any text. Extracts the first string that looks like an email address. Example: User
              <user@example.com> becomes user@example.com.

       emailuser
              Any text. Returns the user portion of an email address.

       escape Any  text.  Replaces  the  special  XML/XHTML  characters "&", "<" and ">" with XML
              entities, and filters out NUL characters.

       fill68 Any text. Wraps the text to fit in 68 columns.

       obfuscate
              Any text. Returns the input text rendered as a sequence of XML entities.

       person Any  text.  Returns  the  name  before an email address, interpreting it as per RFC
              5322.

       reverse
              List. Reverses the order of list items.

       revescape
              Any text. Escapes all "special" characters, except @.  Forward slashes are  escaped
              twice  to  prevent web servers from prematurely unescaping them. For example, "@foo
              bar/baz" becomes "@foo%20bar%252Fbaz".

              representing the status (G: good, B: bad, S: skipped,  U:  untested,  I:  ignored).
              Returns single space if text is not a valid bisection status.

       shortdate
              Date. Returns a date like "2006-09-18".

       slashpath
              Any text. Replaces the native path separator with slash.

       splitlines
              Any text. Split text into a list of lines.

       stringify
              Any   type.  Turns  the  value  into  text  by  converting  values  into  text  and
              concatenating them.

       stripdir
              Treat the text as path and strip a directory level, if possible. For example, "foo"

       upper  Any text. Converts the text to uppercase.

       urlescape
              Any text.  Escapes  all  "special"  characters.  For  example,  "foo  bar"  becomes

       utf8   Any text. Converts from the local character encoding to UTF-8.

       Note  that  a filter is nothing more than a function call, i.e.  expr|filter is equivalent
       to filter(expr).

   Functions
       In addition to filters, there are some basic built-in functions:

       config(section, name[, default])
              Returns the requested hgrc config option as a string.

       configbool(section, name[, default])
              Returns the requested hgrc config option as a boolean.

       configint(section, name[, default])
              Returns the requested hgrc config option as an integer.

       date(date[, fmt])
              Format a date. The format string uses the Python strftime format.  The default is a
              Unix date format, including the timezone: "Mon Sep 04 15:13:13 2006 0700".

       dict([[key=]value...])
              Construct  a  dict from key-value pairs. A key may be omitted if a value expression
              can provide an unambiguous name.

       diff([includepattern [, excludepattern]])
              Show a diff, optionally specifying files to include or exclude.

       files(pattern)
              All files of the current changeset matching the pattern. See hg help patterns.

       fill(text[, width[, initialident[, hangindent]]])
              Fill many paragraphs with optional indentation. See the "fill" filter.

       filter(iterable[, expr])
              Remove empty elements from a list or a dict. If expr  specified,  it's  applied  to
              each element to test emptiness.

       get(dict, key)
              Get an attribute/key from an object. Some keywords are complex types. This function
              allows you to obtain the value of an attribute on these types.

       if(expr, then[, else])
              Conditionally execute based on the result of an expression.

       ifcontains(needle, haystack, then[, else])
              Conditionally execute based on whether the item "needle" is in "haystack".

       ifeq(expr1, expr2, then[, else])
              Conditionally execute based on whether 2 items are equivalent.

       indent(text, indentchars[, firstline])
              Indents all non-empty lines with the characters given in the indentchars string. An
              optional  third  parameter  will  override  the  indent  for the first line only if
              present.

       join(list, sep)
              Join items in a list with a delimiter.

       label(label, expr)
              Apply a label to generated content. Content with a  label  applied  can  result  in
              additional post-processing, such as automatic colorization.

       latesttag([pattern])
              The  global  tags  matching  the  given  pattern on the most recent globally tagged
              ancestor of this changeset.  If no such tags exist, the "{tag}"  template  resolves
              to the string "null". See hg help revisions.patterns for the pattern syntax.

       localdate(date[, tz])
              Converts a date to the specified timezone.  The default is local date.

       mailmap(author)

       relpath(path)
              Convert  a  repository-absolute path into a filesystem path relative to the current
              working directory.

       revset(query[, formatargs...])
              Execute a revision set query. See hg help revset.

       rstdoc(text, style)
              Format reStructuredText.

       search(pattern, text)
              Look for the first text  matching  the  regular  expression  pattern.   Groups  are
              accessible as {1}, {2}, ... in %-mapped template.

       separate(sep, args...)
              Add a separator between non-empty arguments.

       shortest(node, minlength=4)
              Obtain the shortest representation of a node.

       startswith(pattern, text)
              Returns  the  value from the "text" argument if it begins with the content from the
              "pattern" argument.

       strip(text[, chars])
              Strip characters from a  string.  By  default,  strips  all  leading  and  trailing
              whitespace.

       sub(pattern, replacement, expression)
              Perform text substitution using regular expressions.

       subsetparents(rev, revset)
              Look up parents of the rev in the sub graph given by the revset.

       word(number, text[, separator])
              Return the nth word from a string.

   Operators
       We provide a limited set of infix arithmetic operations on integers:

       + for addition
       - for subtraction
       * for multiplication
       / for floor division (division rounded to integer nearest -infinity)

       Division fulfills the law x = x / y + mod(x, y).

       Also, for any expression that returns a list, there is a list operator:

       expr % "{template}"

       As seen in the above example, {template} is interpreted as a template.  To prevent it from
       being interpreted, you can use an escape character \{ or a raw string prefix, r'...'.

       The dot operator can be used as a shorthand for accessing a sub item:

       • expr.member is roughly equivalent to expr % '{member}' if expr returns a  non-list/dict.
         The returned value is not stringified.

       • dict.key is identical to get(dict, 'key').

   Aliases
       New  keywords  and  functions  can  be defined in the templatealias section of a Mercurial
       configuration file:

       <alias> = <definition>

       Arguments of the form a1, a2, etc. are substituted from the alias into the definition.

       For example,

       [templatealias]
       r = rev
       rn = "{r}:{node|short}"
       leftpad(s, w) = pad(s, w, ' ', True)

       defines two symbol aliases, r and rn, and a function alias leftpad().

       It's also possible to specify complete template strings, using the templates section.  The
       syntax used is the general template string syntax.

       For example,

       [templates]
       nodedate = "{node|short}: {date(date, "%Y-%m-%d")}\n"

       defines a template, nodedate, which can be called like:

       $ hg log -r . -Tnodedate

       A template defined in templates section can also be referenced from another template:

       $ hg log -r . -T "{rev} {nodedate}"

       but  be aware that the keywords cannot be overridden by templates. For example, a template
       defined as templates.rev cannot be referenced as {rev}.

       A template defined in  templates  section  may  have  sub  templates  which  are  inserted
       before/after/between items:

       [templates]
       myjson = ' {dict(rev, node|short)|json}'
       myjson:docheader = '\{\n'
       myjson:docfooter = '\n}\n'
       myjson:separator = ',\n'

   Examples
       Some sample command line templates:

       • Format lists, e.g. files:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "files:\n{files % '  {file}\n'}"

       • Join the list of files with a ", ":

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "files: {join(files, ', ')}\n"

       • Join the list of files ending with ".py" with a ", ":

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "pythonfiles: {join(files('**.py'), ', ')}\n"

       • Separate non-empty arguments by a " ":

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{separate(' ', node, bookmarks, tags}\n"

       • Modify each line of a commit description:

         $ hg log --template "{splitlines(desc) % '**** {line}\n'}"

       • Format date:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{date(date, '%Y')}\n"

       • Display date in UTC:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{localdate(date, 'UTC')|date}\n"

       • Output the description set to a fill-width of 30:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{fill(desc, 30)}"

       • Use a conditional to test for the default branch:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{ifeq(branch, 'default', 'on the main branch',
         'on branch {branch}')}\n"

       • Append a newline if not empty:

         $ hg tip --template "{if(author, '{author}\n')}"

       • Label the output for use with the color extension:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{label('changeset.{phase}', node|short)}\n"

       • Invert the firstline filter, i.e. everything but the first line:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{sub(r'^.*\n?\n?', '', desc)}\n"

       • Display the contents of the 'extra' field, one per line:

         $ hg log -r 0 --template "{join(extras, '\n')}\n"

       • Mark the active bookmark with '*':

         $ hg log --template "{bookmarks % '{bookmark}{ifeq(bookmark, active, '*')} '}\n"

       • Find the previous release candidate tag, the distance and changes since the tag:

         $ hg log -r . --template "{latesttag('re:^.*-rc$') % '{tag}, {changes}, {distance}'}\n"

       • Mark the working copy parent with '@':

         $ hg log --template "{ifcontains(rev, revset('.'), '@')}\n"

       • Show details of parent revisions:

         $ hg log --template "{revset('parents(%d)', rev) % '{desc|firstline}\n'}"

       • Show only commit descriptions that start with "template":

         $ hg log --template "{startswith('template', firstline(desc))}\n"

       • Print the first word of each line of a commit message:

         $ hg log --template "{word(0, desc)}\n"

URL PATHS

       Valid URLs are of the form:

       local/filesystem/path[#revision]
       file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
       http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
       https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
       ssh://[user@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
       path://pathname

       Paths  in  the  local  filesystem  can either point to Mercurial repositories or to bundle
       files (as created by hg bundle or hg incoming --bundle). See also hg help paths.

       An optional identifier after # indicates a particular branch, tag,  or  changeset  to  use
       from the remote repository. See also hg help revisions.

       Some  features,  such  as  pushing  to  http:// and https:// URLs are only possible if the
       feature is explicitly enabled on the remote Mercurial server.

       Note that the security of HTTPS URLs depends on proper configuration of web.cacerts.

       Some notes about using SSH with Mercurial:

       • SSH requires an accessible shell account on the destination machine and a copy of hg  in
         the remote path or specified with remotecmd.

       • path  is  relative to the remote user's home directory by default. Use an extra slash at
         the start of a path to specify an absolute path:

         ssh://example.com//tmp/repository

       • Mercurial doesn't use its own compression via SSH; the right thing to do is to configure
         it in your ~/.ssh/config, e.g.:

         Host *.mylocalnetwork.example.com
           Compression no
         Host *
           Compression yes

         Alternatively  specify  "ssh  -C" as your ssh command in your configuration file or with
         the --ssh command line option.

       These URLs can all be stored in your  configuration  file  with  path  aliases  under  the
       [paths] section like so:

       [paths]
       alias1 = URL1
       alias2 = URL2
       ...

       You  can  then  use  the alias for any command that uses a URL (for example hg pull alias1
       will be treated as hg pull URL1).

       Two path aliases are special because they are used as defaults when you do not provide the
       URL to a command:

       default:
              When you create a repository with hg clone, the clone command saves the location of
              the source repository as the new repository's 'default' path.  This  is  then  used
              when  you  omit  path  from  push-  and  pull-like commands (including incoming and
              outgoing).

       default-push:
              The push command will look for a path named  'default-push',  and  prefer  it  over
              'default' if both are defined.

       These alias can also be use in the path:// scheme:

       [paths]
       alias1 = URL1
       alias2 = path://alias1
       ...

       check hg help config.paths for details about the behavior of such "sub-path".

EXTENSIONS

       This  section  contains  help for extensions that are distributed together with Mercurial.
       Help for other extensions is available in the help system.

   absorb
       apply working directory changes to changesets (EXPERIMENTAL)

       The absorb extension provides a command to use  annotate  information  to  amend  modified
       chunks into the corresponding non-public changesets.

       [absorb]
       # only check 50 recent non-public changesets at most
       max-stack-size = 50
       # whether to add noise to new commits to avoid obsolescence cycle
       add-noise = 1
       # make `amend --correlated` a shortcut to the main command
       amend-flag = correlated

       [color]
       absorb.description = yellow
       absorb.node = blue bold
       absorb.path = bold

   Commands
   Change creation
   absorb
       incorporate corrections into the stack of draft changesets:

       hg absorb [OPTION] [FILE]...

       absorb  analyzes  each  change in your working directory and attempts to amend the changed
       lines into the changesets in your stack that first introduced those lines.

       If absorb cannot find an unambiguous changeset to amend for a change, that change will  be
       left  in  the  working  directory, untouched. They can be observed by hg status or hg diff
       afterwards. In other words, absorb does not write to the working directory.

       Changesets outside the revset ::. and not public() and not merge() will not be changed.

       Changesets that become empty after applying the changes will be deleted.

       By default, absorb will show what it plans to do and prompt for confirmation.  If you  are
       confident  that  the  changes  will  be absorbed to the correct place, run hg absorb -a to
       apply the changes immediately.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if all chunks were ignored and nothing amended.

       Options:

       -a, --apply-changes
              apply changes without prompting for confirmation

       -p, --print-changes
              always print which changesets are modified by which changes

       -i, --interactive
              interactively select which chunks to apply

       -e, --edit-lines
              edit what lines belong to which changesets before commit (EXPERIMENTAL)

       -n, --dry-run
              do not perform actions, just print output

       --style <STYLE>
              display using template map file (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   acl
       hooks for controlling repository access

       This hook makes it possible to allow or deny write access to given branches and paths of a
       repository when receiving incoming changesets via pretxnchangegroup and pretxncommit.

       The  authorization  is  matched  based on the local user name on the system where the hook
       runs, and not the committer  of  the  original  changeset  (since  the  latter  is  merely
       informative).

       The  acl  hook  is  best  used  along  with  a  restricted  shell  like  hgsh,  preventing
       authenticating users from doing anything other than pushing or pulling. The  hook  is  not
       safe to use if users have interactive shell access, as they can then disable the hook. Nor
       is it safe if remote users share an account, because then there is no way  to  distinguish
       them.

       The order in which access checks are performed is:

       1. Deny  list for branches (section acl.deny.branches)

       2. Allow list for branches (section acl.allow.branches)

       3. Deny  list for paths    (section acl.deny)

       4. Allow list for paths    (section acl.allow)

       The allow and deny sections take key-value pairs.

   Branch-based Access Control
       Use  the  acl.deny.branches  and  acl.allow.branches  sections to have branch-based access
       control. Keys in these sections can be either:

       • a branch name, or

       • an asterisk, to match any branch;

       The corresponding values can be either:

       • a comma-separated list containing users and groups, or

       • an asterisk, to match anyone;

       You can add the "!" prefix to a user or group name to invert the sense of the match.

   Path-based Access Control
       Use the acl.deny and acl.allow sections to have path-based access control. Keys  in  these
       sections  accept  a  subtree  pattern  (with  a glob syntax by default). The corresponding
       values follow the same syntax as the other sections above.

   Bookmark-based Access Control
       Use the acl.deny.bookmarks and acl.allow.bookmarks sections to have bookmark-based  access
       control. Keys in these sections can be either:

       • a bookmark name, or

       • an asterisk, to match any bookmark;

       The corresponding values can be either:

       • a comma-separated list containing users and groups, or

       • an asterisk, to match anyone;

       You can add the "!" prefix to a user or group name to invert the sense of the match.

       Note:  for  interactions between clients and servers using Mercurial 3.6+ a rejection will
       generally reject the entire push, for interactions involving  older  clients,  the  commit
       transactions will already be accepted, and only the bookmark movement will be rejected.

   Groups
       Group names must be prefixed with an @ symbol. Specifying a group name has the same effect
       as specifying all the users in that group.

       You can define group members in the acl.groups section.  If a group name  is  not  defined
       there,  and Mercurial is running under a Unix-like system, the list of users will be taken
       from the OS.  Otherwise, an exception will be raised.

   Example Configuration
       [hooks]

       # Use this if you want to check access restrictions at commit time
       pretxncommit.acl = python:hgext.acl.hook

       # Use this if you want to check access restrictions for pull, push,
       # bundle and serve.
       pretxnchangegroup.acl = python:hgext.acl.hook

       [acl]
       # Allow or deny access for incoming changes only if their source is
       # listed here, let them pass otherwise. Source is "serve" for all
       # remote access (http or ssh), "push", "pull" or "bundle" when the
       # related commands are run locally.
       # Default: serve
       sources = serve

       [acl.deny.branches]

       # Everyone is denied to the frozen branch:
       frozen-branch = *

       # A bad user is denied on all branches:
       * = bad-user

       [acl.allow.branches]

       # A few users are allowed on branch-a:
       branch-a = user-1, user-2, user-3

       # Only one user is allowed on branch-b:
       branch-b = user-1

       # The super user is allowed on any branch:
       * = super-user

       # Everyone is allowed on branch-for-tests:
       branch-for-tests = *

       [acl.deny]
       # This list is checked first. If a match is found, acl.allow is not
       # checked. All users are granted access if acl.deny is not present.
       # Format for both lists: glob pattern = user, ..., @group, ...

       # To match everyone, use an asterisk for the user:
       # my/glob/pattern = *

       # user6 will not have write access to any file:
       ** = user6

       # Group "hg-denied" will not have write access to any file:
       ** = @hg-denied

       # Nobody will be able to change "DONT-TOUCH-THIS.txt", despite
       # everyone being able to change all other files. See below.
       src/main/resources/DONT-TOUCH-THIS.txt = *

       [acl.allow]
       # if acl.allow is not present, all users are allowed by default
       # empty acl.allow = no users allowed

       # User "doc_writer" has write access to any file under the "docs"
       # folder:
       docs/** = doc_writer

       # User "jack" and group "designers" have write access to any file
       # under the "images" folder:
       images/** = jack, @designers

       # Everyone (except for "user6" and "@hg-denied" - see acl.deny above)
       # will have write access to any file under the "resources" folder
       # (except for 1 file. See acl.deny):
       src/main/resources/** = *

       .hgtags = release_engineer

   Examples using the ! prefix
       Suppose there's a branch that only a given user (or group) should be able to push to,  and
       you don't want to restrict access to any other branch that may be created.

       The  "!"  prefix  allows  you  to  prevent  anyone  except  a  given user or group to push
       changesets in a given branch or path.

       In the examples below, we will: 1) Deny  access  to  branch  "ring"  to  anyone  but  user
       "gollum"  2)  Deny  access to branch "lake" to anyone but members of the group "hobbit" 3)
       Deny access to a file to anyone but user "gollum"

       [acl.allow.branches]
       # Empty

       [acl.deny.branches]

       # 1) only 'gollum' can commit to branch 'ring';
       # 'gollum' and anyone else can still commit to any other branch.
       ring = !gollum

       # 2) only members of the group 'hobbit' can commit to branch 'lake';
       # 'hobbit' members and anyone else can still commit to any other branch.
       lake = !@hobbit

       # You can also deny access based on file paths:

       [acl.allow]
       # Empty

       [acl.deny]
       # 3) only 'gollum' can change the file below;
       # 'gollum' and anyone else can still change any other file.
       /misty/mountains/cave/ring = !gollum

   amend
       provide the amend command (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This extension provides an amend command that is similar to commit --amend  but  does  not
       prompt an editor.

   Commands
   Change creation
   amend
       amend the working copy parent with all or specified outstanding changes:

       hg amend [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Similar to hg commit --amend, but reuse the commit message without invoking editor, unless
       --edit was set.

       See hg help commit for more details.

       Options:

       -A, --addremove
              mark new/missing files as added/removed before committing

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -i, --interactive
              use interactive mode

       --close-branch
              mark a branch as closed, hiding it from the branch list

       -s, --secret
              use the secret phase for committing

       --draft
              use the draft phase for committing

       -n,--note <VALUE>
              store a note on the amend

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

       -D, --currentdate
              record the current date as commit date

       -U, --currentuser
              record the current user as committer

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   automv
       check for unrecorded moves at commit time (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This extension checks at commit/amend time if any of the committed  files  comes  from  an
       unrecorded mv.

       The  threshold  at which a file is considered a move can be set with the automv.similarity
       config option. This option takes a percentage between 0 (disabled) and 100 (files must  be
       identical), the default is 95.

   beautifygraph
       beautify log -G output by using Unicode characters (EXPERIMENTAL)

          A terminal with UTF-8 support and monospace narrow text are required.

   blackbox
       log repository events to a blackbox for debugging

       Logs  event  information  to  .hg/blackbox.log  to  help debug and diagnose problems.  The
       events that get logged can be configured via the blackbox.track and blackbox.ignore config
       keys.

       Examples:

       [blackbox]
       track = *
       ignore = pythonhook
       # dirty is *EXPENSIVE* (slow);
       # each log entry indicates `+` if the repository is dirty, like :hg:`id`.
       dirty = True
       # record the source of log messages
       logsource = True

       [blackbox]
       track = command, commandfinish, commandexception, exthook, pythonhook

       [blackbox]
       track = incoming

       [blackbox]
       # limit the size of a log file
       maxsize = 1.5 MB
       # rotate up to N log files when the current one gets too big
       maxfiles = 3

       [blackbox]
       # Include microseconds in log entries with %f (see Python function
       # datetime.datetime.strftime)
       date-format = %Y-%m-%d @ %H:%M:%S.%f

   Commands
   Repository maintenance
   blackbox
       view the recent repository events:

       hg blackbox [OPTION]...

       view the recent repository events

       Options:

       -l,--limit <VALUE>
              the number of events to show (default: 10)

   bookflow
       implements bookmark-based branching (EXPERIMENTAL)

          • Disables creation of new branches (config: enable_branches=False).

          • Requires an active bookmark on commit (config: require_bookmark=True).

          • Doesn't move the active bookmark on update, only on commit.

          • Requires '--rev' for moving an existing bookmark.

          • Protects special bookmarks (config: protect=@).

          flow related commands

              hg book NAME
                     create a new bookmark

              hg book NAME -r REV
                     move bookmark to revision (fast-forward)

              hg up|co NAME
                     switch to bookmark

              hg push -B .
                     push active bookmark

   bugzilla
       hooks for integrating with the Bugzilla bug tracker

       This  hook  extension adds comments on bugs in Bugzilla when changesets that refer to bugs
       by Bugzilla ID are seen. The comment is formatted using the Mercurial template mechanism.

       The bug references can optionally include an  update  for  Bugzilla  of  the  hours  spent
       working on the bug. Bugs can also be marked fixed.

       Four basic modes of access to Bugzilla are provided:

       1. Access via the Bugzilla REST-API. Requires bugzilla 5.0 or later.

       2. Access via the Bugzilla XMLRPC interface. Requires Bugzilla 3.4 or later.

       3. Check  data  via  the  Bugzilla  XMLRPC  interface  and  submit bug change via email to
          Bugzilla email interface. Requires Bugzilla 3.4 or later.

       4. Writing directly to the Bugzilla database. Only Bugzilla installations using MySQL  are
          supported. Requires Python MySQLdb.

       Writing  directly  to  the  database  is  susceptible  to  schema changes, and relies on a
       Bugzilla contrib script to send out bug change notification emails. This  script  runs  as
       the  user  running  Mercurial,  must  be  run  on  the host with the Bugzilla install, and
       requires permission to read Bugzilla configuration details and the  necessary  MySQL  user
       and  password  to have full access rights to the Bugzilla database. For these reasons this
       access mode is now considered deprecated,  and  will  not  be  updated  for  new  Bugzilla
       versions going forward. Only adding comments is supported in this access mode.

       Access  via  XMLRPC  needs  a  Bugzilla  username  and  password  to  be  specified in the
       configuration. Comments are added under that username. Since  the  configuration  must  be
       readable  by  all  Mercurial  users,  it  is  recommended that the rights of that user are
       restricted in Bugzilla to the minimum  necessary  to  add  comments.  Marking  bugs  fixed
       requires Bugzilla 4.0 and later.

       Access  via  XMLRPC/email  uses  XMLRPC to query Bugzilla, but sends email to the Bugzilla
       email interface to submit comments to bugs.  The From: address in the email is set to  the
       email  address  of  the  Mercurial user, so the comment appears to come from the Mercurial
       user. In the event that the Mercurial user email  is  not  recognized  by  Bugzilla  as  a
       Bugzilla  user,  the email associated with the Bugzilla username used to log into Bugzilla
       is used instead as the source of the comment. Marking bugs fixed works  on  all  supported
       Bugzilla versions.

       Access  via  the  REST-API  needs  either  a  Bugzilla  username and password or an apikey
       specified in the configuration. Comments are made under the given  username  or  the  user
       associated with the apikey in Bugzilla.

       Configuration items common to all access modes:

       bugzilla.version
              The access type to use. Values recognized are:

              restapi

                     Bugzilla REST-API, Bugzilla 5.0 and later.

              xmlrpc

                     Bugzilla XMLRPC interface.

              xmlrpc+email

                     Bugzilla XMLRPC and email interfaces.

              3.0

                     MySQL access, Bugzilla 3.0 and later.

              2.18

                     MySQL access, Bugzilla 2.18 and up to but not including 3.0.

              2.16

                     MySQL access, Bugzilla 2.16 and up to but not including 2.18.

       bugzilla.regexp
              Regular  expression  to  match  bug IDs for update in changeset commit message.  It
              must contain one "()" named  group  <ids>  containing  the  bug  IDs  separated  by
              non-digit   characters.   It  may  also  contain  a  named  group  <hours>  with  a
              floating-point number giving the hours worked on the bug. If no  named  groups  are
              present,  the  first "()" group is assumed to contain the bug IDs, and work time is
              not updated. The default expression matches Bug 1234,  Bug  no.  1234,  Bug  number
              1234,  Bugs  1234,5678,  Bug  1234  and 5678 and variations thereof, followed by an
              hours number prefixed by h or hours, e.g. hours 1.5. Matching is case insensitive.

       bugzilla.fixregexp
              Regular expression to match bug IDs for marking fixed in changeset commit  message.
              This  must  contain  a  "()" named group <ids>` containing the bug IDs separated by
              non-digit  characters.  It  may  also  contain  a  named  group  ``<hours>  with  a
              floating-point  number  giving  the hours worked on the bug. If no named groups are
              present, the first "()" group is assumed to contain the bug IDs, and work  time  is
              not  updated. The default expression matches Fixes 1234, Fixes bug 1234, Fixes bugs
              1234,5678, Fixes 1234 and 5678 and variations thereof, followed by an hours  number
              prefixed by h or hours, e.g. hours 1.5. Matching is case insensitive.

       bugzilla.fixstatus
              The status to set a bug to when marking fixed. Default RESOLVED.

       bugzilla.fixresolution
              The resolution to set a bug to when marking fixed. Default FIXED.

       bugzilla.style
              The style file to use when formatting comments.

       bugzilla.template
              Template to use when formatting comments. Overrides style if specified. In addition
              to the usual Mercurial keywords, the extension specifies:

              {bug}

                     The Bugzilla bug ID.

              {root}

                     The full pathname of the Mercurial repository.

              {webroot}

                     Stripped pathname of the Mercurial repository.

              {hgweb}

                     Base URL for browsing Mercurial repositories.

              Default    changeset    {node|short}    in    repo    {root}    refers    to    bug
              {bug}.\ndetails:\n\t{desc|tabindent}

       bugzilla.strip
              The  number  of  path separator characters to strip from the front of the Mercurial
              repository path  ({root}  in  templates)  to  produce  {webroot}.  For  example,  a
              repository  with  {root}  /var/local/my-project with a strip of 2 gives a value for
              {webroot} of my-project. Default 0.

       web.baseurl
              Base URL for browsing Mercurial repositories. Referenced from templates as {hgweb}.

       Configuration items common to XMLRPC+email and MySQL access modes:

       bugzilla.usermap
              Path of file containing Mercurial committer email to Bugzilla user email  mappings.
              If specified, the file should contain one mapping per line:

              committer = Bugzilla user

              See also the [usermap] section.

       The [usermap] section is used to specify mappings of Mercurial committer email to Bugzilla
       user email. See also bugzilla.usermap.  Contains entries of the form committer =  Bugzilla
       user.

       XMLRPC and REST-API access mode configuration:

       bugzilla.bzurl
              The base URL for the Bugzilla installation.  Default http://localhost/bugzilla.

       bugzilla.user
              The username to use to log into Bugzilla via XMLRPC. Default bugs.

       bugzilla.password
              The password for Bugzilla login.

       REST-API access mode uses the options listed above as well as:

       bugzilla.apikey
              An  apikey  generated  on  the  Bugzilla  instance for api access.  Using an apikey
              removes the need to store the user and password options.

       XMLRPC+email access mode uses the XMLRPC access mode configuration items, and also:

       bugzilla.bzemail
              The Bugzilla email address.

       In addition, the Mercurial email settings must be configured.  See  the  documentation  in
       hgrc(5), sections [email] and [smtp].

       MySQL access mode configuration:

       bugzilla.host
              Hostname of the MySQL server holding the Bugzilla database.  Default localhost.

   censor
       erase file content at a given revision

       The censor command instructs Mercurial to erase all content of a file at a given  revision
       without  updating  the  changeset hash. This allows existing history to remain valid while
       preventing future clones/pulls from receiving the erased data.

       Typical uses for censor are due to security or legal requirements, including:

       * Passwords, private keys, cryptographic material
       * Licensed data/code/libraries for which the license has expired
       * Personally Identifiable Information or other private data

       Censored nodes can interrupt mercurial's typical operation whenever the excised data needs
       to  be  materialized.  Some  commands,  like  hg  cat/hg revert, simply fail when asked to
       produce censored data. Others, like hg verify and hg update, must be capable of tolerating
       censored  data  to  continue  to function in a meaningful way. Such commands only tolerate
       censored file revisions if they are allowed by the "censor.policy=ignore" config option.

       A few informative commands such as hg grep will unconditionally ignore censored  data  and
       merely report that it was encountered.

   Commands
   Repository maintenance
   censor
       hg censor -r REV [-t TEXT] [FILE]

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              censor file from specified revision

       -t,--tombstone <TEXT>
              replacement tombstone data

   children
       command to display child changesets (DEPRECATED)

       This extension is deprecated. You should use hg log -r "children(REV)" instead.

   Commands
   Change navigation
   children
       show the children of the given or working directory revision:

       hg children [-r REV] [FILE]

       Print  the  children  of  the  working  directory's  revisions. If a revision is given via
       -r/--rev, the children of that revision will be printed. If  a  file  argument  is  given,
       revision  in  which the file was last changed (after the working directory revision or the
       argument to --rev if given) is printed.

       Please use hg log instead:

       hg children => hg log -r "children(.)"
       hg children -r REV => hg log -r "children(REV)"

       See hg help log and hg help revsets.children.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              show children of the specified revision (default: .)

       --style <STYLE>
              display using template map file (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   churn
       command to display statistics about repository history

   Commands
   Repository maintenance
   churn
       histogram of changes to the repository:

       hg churn [-d DATE] [-r REV] [--aliases FILE] [FILE]

       This command will display  a  histogram  representing  the  number  of  changed  lines  or
       revisions,  grouped  according  to  the  given  template.  The default template will group
       changes by author.  The --dateformat option may be used  to  group  the  results  by  date
       instead.

       Statistics  are  based  on  the  number  of  changed lines, or alternatively the number of
       matching revisions if the --changesets option is specified.

       Examples:

       # display count of changed lines for every committer
       hg churn -T "{author|email}"

       # display daily activity graph
       hg churn -f "%H" -s -c

       # display activity of developers by month
       hg churn -f "%Y-%m" -s -c

       # display count of lines changed in every year
       hg churn -f "%Y" -s

       # display count of lines changed in a time range
       hg churn -d "2020-04 to 2020-09"

       It is possible to map alternate email addresses to a main  address  by  providing  a  file
       using the following format:

       <alias email> = <actual email>

       Such  a file may be specified with the --aliases option, otherwise a .hgchurn file will be
       looked for in the working directory root.  Aliases will be split from the rightmost "=".

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              count rate for the specified revision or revset

       -d,--date <DATE>
              count rate for revisions matching date spec

       -t,--oldtemplate <TEMPLATE>
              template to group changesets (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              template to group changesets (default: {author|email})

       -f,--dateformat <FORMAT>
              strftime-compatible format for grouping by date

       -c, --changesets
              count rate by number of changesets

       -s, --sort
              sort by key (default: sort by count)

       --diffstat

              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   clonebundles
       advertise pre-generated bundles to seed clones

       "clonebundles"  is  a  server-side  extension  used  to   advertise   the   existence   of
       pre-generated,  externally hosted bundle files to clients that are cloning so that cloning
       can be faster, more reliable, and require less resources on the server. "pullbundles" is a
       related  feature  for  sending  pre-generated  bundle  files  to  clients  as part of pull
       operations.

       Cloning can be a CPU and I/O intensive operation on servers. Traditionally, the server, in
       response  to  a  client's  request to clone, dynamically generates a bundle containing the
       entire repository content and sends it to the client.  There is no caching on  the  server
       and  the  server will have to redundantly generate the same outgoing bundle in response to
       each clone request. For servers with large repositories or with  high  clone  volume,  the
       load from clones can make scaling the server challenging and costly.

       This  extension  provides  server  operators  the ability to offload potentially expensive
       clone load to an external  service.  Pre-generated  bundles  also  allow  using  more  CPU
       intensive compression, reducing the effective bandwidth requirements.

       Here's how clone bundles work:

       1. A  server  operator  establishes  a  mechanism  for  making bundle files available on a
          hosting service where Mercurial clients can fetch them.

       2. A manifest file listing available bundle URLs and some optional metadata  is  added  to
          the Mercurial repository on the server.

       3. A client initiates a clone against a clone bundles aware server.

       4. The  client  sees  the  server  is  advertising  clone bundles and fetches the manifest
          listing available bundles.

       5. The client filters and sorts the available  bundles  based  on  what  it  supports  and
          prefers.

       6. The client downloads and applies an available bundle from the server-specified URL.

       7. The  client reconnects to the original server and performs the equivalent of hg pull to
          retrieve all repository data not in the bundle. (The repository could have been updated
          between  when  the  bundle was created and when the client started the clone.) This may
          use "pullbundles".

       Instead of the server generating full repository  bundles  for  every  clone  request,  it
       generates  full bundles once and they are subsequently reused to bootstrap new clones. The
       server may still transfer data at clone time.  However, this is only data  that  has  been
       added/changed  since the bundle was created. For large, established repositories, this can
       reduce server load for clones to less than 1% of original.

       Here's how pullbundles work:

       1. A manifest file listing available bundles and describing the revisions is added to  the
          Mercurial repository on the server.

       2. A  new-enough  client informs the server that it supports partial pulls and initiates a
          pull.

       3. If the server has pull bundles enabled and sees the client advertising  partial  pulls,
          it  checks  for a matching pull bundle in the manifest.  A bundle matches if the format
          is supported by the client, the client has the required  revisions  already  and  needs
          something from the bundle.

       4. If there is at least one matching bundle, the server sends it to the client.

       5. The  client  applies  the  bundle  and notices that the server reply was incomplete. It
          initiates another pull.

       To work, this extension requires the following of server operators:

       • Generating bundle files of repository content (typically periodically, such as once  per
         day).

       • Clone  bundles:  A file server that clients have network access to and that Python knows
         how to talk to through  its  normal  URL  handling  facility  (typically  an  HTTP/HTTPS
         server).

       • A process for keeping the bundles manifest in sync with available bundle files.

       Strictly  speaking,  using  a static file hosting server isn't required: a server operator
       could use a dynamic service for retrieving  bundle  data.  However,  static  file  hosting
       services are simple and scalable and should be sufficient for most needs.

       Bundle  files  can  be  generated with the hg bundle command. Typically hg bundle --all is
       used to produce a bundle of the entire repository.

       The bundlespec option stream (see hg help bundlespec) can be used  to  produce  a  special
       streaming  clonebundle, typically using hg bundle --all --type="none-streamv2".  These are
       bundle files that are extremely efficient to produce and consume  (read:  fast).  However,
       they are larger than traditional bundle formats and require that clients support the exact
       set of repository data  store  formats  in  use  by  the  repository  that  created  them.
       Typically,  a newer server can serve data that is compatible with older clients.  However,
       streaming clone bundles don't have this guarantee. Server operators need to be aware  that
       newer  versions  of  Mercurial may produce streaming clone bundles incompatible with older
       Mercurial versions.

       A server operator is responsible for creating a .hg/clonebundles.manifest file  containing
       the  list  of  available  bundle  files suitable for seeding clones. If this file does not
       exist, the repository will not advertise the  existence  of  clone  bundles  when  clients
       connect. For pull bundles, .hg/pullbundles.manifest is used.

       The manifest file contains a newline (n) delimited list of entries.

       Each line in this file defines an available bundle. Lines have the format:

          <URL> [<key>=<value>[ <key>=<value>]]

       That is, a URL followed by an optional, space-delimited list of key=value pairs describing
       additional properties of this bundle. Both keys and values are URI encoded.

       For pull bundles, the URL is a path under the .hg directory of the repository.

       Keys in UPPERCASE  are  reserved  for  use  by  Mercurial  and  are  defined  below.   All
       non-uppercase keys can be used by site installations. An example use for custom properties
       is to use the datacenter attribute to define which  data  center  a  file  is  hosted  in.
       Clients could then prefer a server in the data center closest to them.

       The following reserved keys are currently defined:

       BUNDLESPEC
              A "bundle specification" string that describes the type of the bundle.

              These are string values that are accepted by the "--type" argument of hg bundle.

              The   values  are  parsed  in  strict  mode,  which  means  they  must  be  of  the
              "<compression>-<type>"  form.  See  mercurial.exchange.parsebundlespec()  for  more
              details.

              hg  debugbundle  --spec can  be used to print the bundle specification string for a
              bundle file. The output of this command can be  used  verbatim  for  the  value  of
              BUNDLESPEC (it is already escaped).

              Clients   will   automatically  filter  out  specifications  that  are  unknown  or
              unsupported so they won't attempt to download something that likely won't apply.

              The actual value doesn't impact client  behavior  beyond  filtering:  clients  will
              still sniff the bundle type from the header of downloaded files.

              Use  of  this  key  is  highly  recommended,  as  it  allows clients to easily skip
              unsupported bundles. If this key is not defined, an old client may attempt to apply
              a bundle that it is incapable of reading.

       REQUIRESNI
              Whether Server Name Indication (SNI) is required to connect to the URL.  SNI allows
              servers to use multiple certificates on the same IP. It is somewhat common in  CDNs
              and  other  hosting  providers.  Older Python versions do not support SNI. Defining
              this attribute enables clients with older Python  versions  to  filter  this  entry
              without experiencing an opaque SSL failure at connection time.

              If  this is defined, it is important to advertise a non-SNI fallback URL or clients
              running old Python releases  may  not  be  able  to  clone  with  the  clonebundles
              facility.

              Value should be "true".

       REQUIREDRAM
              Value  specifies  expected  memory  requirements to decode the payload.  Values can
              have suffixes for common bytes sizes. e.g. "64MB".

              This key is often used with zstd-compressed bundles using a high compression  level
              / window size, which can require 100+ MB of memory to decode.

       heads  Used  for pull bundles. This contains the ; separated changeset hashes of the heads
              of the bundle content.

       bases  Used for pull bundles. This contains the ; separated changeset hashes of the  roots
              of  the  bundle  content.  This  can  be  skipped if the bundle was created without
              --base.

       Manifests can contain multiple entries. Assuming metadata is defined, clients will  filter
       entries  from  the  manifest that they don't support. The remaining entries are optionally
       sorted by client  preferences  (ui.clonebundleprefers  config  option).  The  client  then
       attempts to fetch the bundle at the first URL in the remaining list.

       Errors  when  downloading  a  bundle  will fail the entire clone operation: clients do not
       automatically fall back to a traditional clone. The reason for this is that if a server is
       using  clone  bundles, it is probably doing so because the feature is necessary to help it
       scale. In other words, there is an assumption that clone load will be offloaded to another
       service  and  that the Mercurial server isn't responsible for serving this clone load.  If
       that other service experiences issues and clients start mass falling back to the  original
       Mercurial  server,  the added clone load could overwhelm the server due to unexpected load
       and effectively take it offline. Not having clients automatically  fall  back  to  cloning
       from the original server mitigates this scenario.

       Because  there  is no automatic Mercurial server fallback on failure of the bundle hosting
       service, it is important for server operators to view the bundle  hosting  service  as  an
       extension  of  the Mercurial server in terms of availability and service level agreements:
       if the bundle hosting service goes down, so does the ability for clients to  clone.  Note:
       clients  will see a message informing them how to bypass the clone bundles facility when a
       failure occurs. So server operators  should  prepare  for  some  people  to  follow  these
       instructions  when  a  failure  occurs,  thus  driving more load to the original Mercurial
       server when the bundle hosting service fails.

   closehead
       close arbitrary heads without checking them out first

   Commands
   Change manipulation
   close-head
       close the given head revisions:

       hg close-head [OPTION]... [REV]...

       This is equivalent to checking out each revision in a clean tree  and  running  hg  commit
       --close-branch, except that it doesn't change the working directory.

       The commit message must be specified with -l or -m.

       Options:

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              revision to check

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

          aliases: close-heads

   commitextras

   convert
       import revisions from foreign VCS repositories into Mercurial

   Commands
   Uncategorized commands
   convert
       convert a foreign SCM repository to a Mercurial one.:

       hg convert [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST [REVMAP]]

       Accepted source formats [identifiers]:

       • Mercurial [hg]

       • CVS [cvs]

       • Darcs [darcs]

       • git [git]

       • Subversion [svn]

       • Monotone [mtn]

       • GNU Arch [gnuarch]

       • Bazaar [bzr]

       • Perforce [p4]

       Accepted destination formats [identifiers]:

       • Mercurial [hg]

       • Subversion [svn] (history on branches is not preserved)

       If  no  revision  is given, all revisions will be converted.  Otherwise, convert will only
       import up to the named revision (given in a format understood by the source).

       If no destination directory name is specified, it defaults to the basename of  the  source
       with -hg appended. If the destination repository doesn't exist, it will be created.

       By   default,  all  sources  except  Mercurial  will  use  --branchsort.   Mercurial  uses
       --sourcesort to preserve original revision numbers order. Sort modes  have  the  following
       effects:

       --branchsort
              convert  from  parent  to  child  revision  when possible, which means branches are
              usually converted one after the other. It generates more compact repositories.

       --datesort
              sort revisions by date. Converted repositories have good-looking changelogs but are
              often an order of magnitude larger than the same ones generated by --branchsort.

       --sourcesort
              try to preserve source revisions order, only supported by Mercurial sources.

       --closesort
              try  to  move  closed  revisions  as  close  as  possible  to parent branches, only
              supported by Mercurial sources.

       If REVMAP isn't given, it  will  be  put  in  a  default  location  (<dest>/.hg/shamap  by
       default).  The  REVMAP  is  a  simple  text  file  that  maps each source commit ID to the
       destination ID for that revision, like so:

       <source ID> <destination ID>

       If the file doesn't exist, it's automatically created. It's updated on each commit copied,
       so hg convert can be interrupted and can be run repeatedly to copy new commits.

       The  authormap  is a simple text file that maps each source commit author to a destination
       commit author. It is handy for source SCMs that use unix logins to identify authors (e.g.:
       CVS). One line per author mapping and the line format is:

       source author = destination author

       Empty lines and lines starting with a # are ignored.

       The  filemap  is a file that allows filtering and remapping of files and directories. Each
       line can contain one of the following directives:

       include path/to/file-or-dir

       exclude path/to/file-or-dir

       rename path/to/source path/to/destination

       Comment lines start with #. A specified path matches if it equals the full  relative  name
       of  a  file  or  one  of its parent directories. The include or exclude directive with the
       longest matching path applies, so line order does not matter.

       The include directive causes a file, or all files under a directory, to be included in the
       destination  repository.  The  default  if  there  are no include statements is to include
       everything.  If there are any include statements, nothing else is included.   The  exclude
       directive  causes  files or directories to be omitted. The rename directive renames a file
       or directory if it is converted. To rename from  a  subdirectory  into  the  root  of  the
       repository, use . as the path to rename to.

       --full  will  make  sure the converted changesets contain exactly the right files with the
       right content. It will make a full conversion of all files, not just the  ones  that  have
       changed.  Files  that  already  are correct will not be changed. This can be used to apply
       filemap changes when converting  incrementally.  This  is  currently  only  supported  for
       Mercurial and Subversion.

       The  splicemap  is  a file that allows insertion of synthetic history, letting you specify
       the parents of a revision. This is useful if you want to e.g. give a Subversion merge  two
       parents,  or graft two disconnected series of history together. Each entry contains a key,
       followed by a space, followed by one or two comma-separated values:

       key parent1, parent2

       The key is the revision ID in the source revision control system whose parents  should  be
       modified  (same format as a key in .hg/shamap). The values are the revision IDs (in either
       the source or destination revision control system) that should be used as the new  parents
       for that node. For example, if you have merged "release-1.0" into "trunk", then you should
       specify the revision on "trunk" as the first parent  and  the  one  on  the  "release-1.0"
       branch as the second.

       The  branchmap  is  a  file that allows you to rename a branch when it is being brought in
       from whatever external repository. When used in conjunction with a  splicemap,  it  allows
       for  a  powerful  combination  to help fix even the most badly mismanaged repositories and
       turn them into nicely structured Mercurial repositories. The branchmap contains  lines  of
       the form:

       original_branch_name new_branch_name

       where  "original_branch_name"  is  the  name  of  the branch in the source repository, and
       "new_branch_name" is the name of the branch is the destination repository.  No  whitespace
       is  allowed  in  the  new branch name. This can be used to (for instance) move code in one
       repository from "default" to a named branch.

   Mercurial Source
       The Mercurial source recognizes the following configuration options, which you can set  on
       the command line with --config:

       convert.hg.ignoreerrors
              ignore  integrity  errors  when reading.  Use it to fix Mercurial repositories with
              missing revlogs, by converting from and to Mercurial. Default is False.

       convert.hg.saverev
              store original revision ID in changeset (forces target IDs to change). It  takes  a
              boolean argument and defaults to False.

       convert.hg.startrev
              specify the initial Mercurial revision.  The default is 0.

       convert.hg.revs
              revset specifying the source revisions to convert.

   Bazaar Source
       The following options can be used with --config:

       convert.bzr.saverev
              whether  to  store the original Bazaar commit ID in the metadata of the destination
              commit. The default is True.

   CVS Source
       CVS source will use a sandbox (i.e. a checked-out copy) from CVS to indicate the  starting
       point  of  what  will  be  converted. Direct access to the repository files is not needed,
       unless of course the repository is :local:. The conversion uses the top level directory in
       the  sandbox  to find the CVS repository, and then uses CVS rlog commands to find files to
       convert. This means that unless a filemap is given, all files under the starting directory
       will be converted, and that any directory reorganization in the CVS sandbox is ignored.

       The following options can be used with --config:

       convert.cvsps.cache
              Set  to  False  to  disable remote log caching, for testing and debugging purposes.
              Default is True.

       convert.cvsps.fuzz
              Specify the maximum  time  (in  seconds)  that  is  allowed  between  commits  with
              identical  user  and  log message in a single changeset. When very large files were
              checked in as part of a changeset then the default may not  be  long  enough.   The
              default is 60.

       convert.cvsps.logencoding
              Specify  encoding  name  to  be  used  for  transcoding  CVS log messages. Multiple
              encoding names can be specified as a list (see hg help config.Syntax), but only the
              first acceptable encoding in the list is used per CVS log entries. This transcoding
              is executed before cvslog hook below.

       convert.cvsps.mergeto
              Specify a regular expression to which commit log messages are matched. If  a  match
              occurs, then the conversion process will insert a dummy revision merging the branch
              on which this log message occurs to the branch indicated in the regex.  Default  is
              {{mergetobranch ([-\w]+)}}

       convert.cvsps.mergefrom
              Specify  a  regular expression to which commit log messages are matched. If a match
              occurs, then the conversion process will add the most recent revision on the branch
              indicated  in  the  regex  as  the  second  parent  of  the  changeset.  Default is
              {{mergefrombranch ([-\w]+)}}

       convert.localtimezone
              use local time (as  determined  by  the  TZ  environment  variable)  for  changeset
              date/times. The default is False (use UTC).

       hooks.cvslog
              Specify  a  Python  function  to be called at the end of gathering the CVS log. The
              function is passed a list  with  the  log  entries,  and  can  modify  the  entries
              in-place, or add or delete them.

       hooks.cvschangesets
              Specify a Python function to be called after the changesets are calculated from the
              CVS log. The function is passed a list with the changeset entries, and  can  modify
              the changesets in-place, or add or delete them.

       An  additional "debugcvsps" Mercurial command allows the builtin changeset merging code to
       be run without doing a conversion. Its parameters and output are similar to that of  cvsps
       2.1. Please see the command help for more details.

   Subversion Source
       Subversion source detects classical trunk/branches/tags layouts.  By default, the supplied
       svn://repo/path/ source URL is converted as  a  single  branch.  If  svn://repo/path/trunk
       exists   it   replaces   the  default  branch.  If  svn://repo/path/branches  exists,  its
       subdirectories are listed as possible branches.  If  svn://repo/path/tags  exists,  it  is
       looked  for  tags  referencing converted branches. Default trunk, branches and tags values
       can be overridden with following options. Set them to paths relative to the source URL, or
       leave them blank to disable auto detection.

       The following options can be set with --config:

       convert.svn.branches
              specify the directory containing branches.  The default is branches.

       convert.svn.tags
              specify the directory containing tags. The default is tags.

       convert.svn.trunk
              specify the name of the trunk branch. The default is trunk.

       convert.localtimezone
              use  local  time  (as  determined  by  the  TZ  environment variable) for changeset
              date/times. The default is False (use UTC).

       Source history can be  retrieved  starting  at  a  specific  revision,  instead  of  being
       integrally converted. Only single branch conversions are supported.

       convert.svn.startrev
              specify start Subversion revision number.  The default is 0.

   Git Source
       The  Git  importer  converts  commits from all reachable branches (refs in refs/heads) and
       remotes (refs in refs/remotes) to Mercurial.  Branches are converted to bookmarks with the
       same  name,  with  the  leading 'refs/heads' stripped. Git submodules are converted to Git
       subrepos in Mercurial.

       The following options can be set with --config:

       convert.git.similarity
              specify how similar files modified in a commit must be to be imported as renames or
              copies, as a percentage between 0 (disabled) and 100 (files must be identical). For
              example, 90 means that a delete/add pair will be imported as a rename if more  than
              90% of the file hasn't changed. The default is 50.

       convert.git.findcopiesharder
              while  detecting  copies,  look  at  all  files in the working copy instead of just
              changed ones. This is very expensive for large projects, and is only effective when
              convert.git.similarity is greater than 0. The default is False.

       convert.git.renamelimit
              perform  rename  and  copy  detection  up  to  this many changed files in a commit.
              Increasing this will  make  rename  and  copy  detection  more  accurate  but  will
              significantly  slow down computation on large projects. The option is only relevant
              if convert.git.similarity is greater than 0. The default is 400.

       convert.git.committeractions
              list of actions to take when processing author and committer values.

              Git commits have separate author (who wrote the commit) and committer (who  applied
              the  commit)  fields.  Not  all  destinations support separate author and committer
              fields (including Mercurial). This config option controls what  to  do  with  these
              author and committer fields during conversion.

              A  value  of  messagedifferent  will  append  a  committer: ...  line to the commit
              message if the Git committer is different from the author. The prefix of that  line
              can    be    specified    using    the   syntax   messagedifferent=<prefix>.   e.g.
              messagedifferent=git-committer:.  When a prefix is specified, a space  will  always
              be inserted between the prefix and the value.

              messagealways  behaves  like  messagedifferent  except  it  will always result in a
              committer: ... line being appended to the commit message. This  value  is  mutually
              exclusive with messagedifferent.

              dropcommitter  will  remove  references  to  the  committer. Only references to the
              author will remain. Actions that add references  to  the  committer  will  have  no
              effect when this is set.

              replaceauthor  will replace the value of the author field with the committer. Other
              actions that add references to the committer will still take effect  when  this  is
              set.

              The default is messagedifferent.

       convert.git.extrakeys
              list  of  extra  keys  from  commit  metadata  to copy to the destination. Some Git
              repositories store  extra  metadata  in  commits.   By  default,  this  non-default
              metadata  will  be  lost  during conversion.  Setting this config option can retain
              that metadata. Some built-in keys such as parent and branch are not allowed  to  be
              copied.

       convert.git.remoteprefix
              remote  refs  are  converted as bookmarks with convert.git.remoteprefix as a prefix
              followed by a /. The default is 'remote'.

       convert.git.saverev
              whether to store the original Git commit ID in  the  metadata  of  the  destination
              commit. The default is True.

       convert.git.skipsubmodules
              does  not convert root level .gitmodules files or files with 160000 mode indicating
              a submodule. Default is False.

   Perforce Source
       The Perforce (P4) importer can be given a p4 depot  path  or  a  client  specification  as
       source.  It  will convert all files in the source to a flat Mercurial repository, ignoring
       labels, branches and integrations. Note that when a depot path is given you  then  usually
       should specify a target directory, because otherwise the target may be named ...-hg.

       The following options can be set with --config:

       convert.p4.encoding
              specify  the  encoding to use when decoding standard output of the Perforce command
              line tool. The default is default system encoding.

       convert.p4.startrev
              specify initial Perforce revision (a Perforce changelist number).

   Mercurial Destination
       The Mercurial destination will recognize  Mercurial  subrepositories  in  the  destination
       directory,   and   update   the   .hgsubstate   file   automatically  if  the  destination
       subrepositories contain the <dest>/<sub>/.hg/shamap file.  Converting  a  repository  with
       subrepositories requires converting a single repository at a time, from the bottom up.

       An example showing how to convert a repository with subrepositories:

       # so convert knows the type when it sees a non empty destination
       $ hg init converted

       $ hg convert orig/sub1 converted/sub1
       $ hg convert orig/sub2 converted/sub2
       $ hg convert orig converted

       The following options are supported:

       convert.hg.clonebranches
              dispatch source branches in separate clones. The default is False.

       convert.hg.tagsbranch
              branch name for tag revisions, defaults to default.

       convert.hg.usebranchnames
              preserve branch names. The default is True.

       convert.hg.sourcename
              records  the  given string as a 'convert_source' extra value on each commit made in
              the target repository. The default is None.

       convert.hg.preserve-hash
              only works with mercurial sources. Make convert prevent performance improvement  to
              the list of modified files in commits when such an improvement would cause the hash
              of a commit to change.  The default is False.

   All Destinations
       All destination types accept the following options:

       convert.skiptags
              does not convert tags from the source repo to  the  target  repo.  The  default  is
              False.

   Subversion Destination
       Original commit dates are not preserved by default.

       convert.svn.dangerous-set-commit-dates
              preserve  original  commit  dates, forcefully setting svn:date revision properties.
              This option is DANGEROUS and  may  break  some  subversion  functionality  for  the
              resulting  repository  (e.g.  filtering  revisions with date ranges in svn log), as
              original commit dates are not guaranteed to be monotonically increasing.

       For commit dates setting to work destination repository must have pre-revprop-change  hook
       configured  to allow setting of svn:date revision properties. See Subversion documentation
       for more details.

       Options:

   eol
       automatically manage newlines in repository files

       This extension allows you to manage the type of line endings (CRLF or LF) that are used in
       the  repository and in the local working directory. That way you can get CRLF line endings
       on Windows and LF on Unix/Mac, thereby letting everybody use their OS native line endings.

       The extension reads its configuration from a versioned .hgeol configuration file found  in
       the  root  of  the  working  directory.  The  .hgeol file use the same syntax as all other
       Mercurial configuration files. It uses two sections, [patterns] and [repository].

       The [patterns] section specifies how line endings should be converted between the  working
       directory  and  the repository. The format is specified by a file pattern. The first match
       is used, so put more specific patterns first. The available line endings are LF, CRLF, and
       BIN.

       Files  with  the  declared  format  of CRLF or LF are always checked out and stored in the
       repository in that format and files declared  to  be  binary  (BIN)  are  left  unchanged.
       Additionally,  native  is an alias for checking out in the platform's default line ending:
       LF on Unix (including Mac OS X) and CRLF on Windows. Note that BIN  (do  nothing  to  line
       endings)  is  Mercurial's  default  behavior;  it is only needed if you need to override a
       later, more general pattern.

       The optional [repository] section specifies the line endings to use for  files  stored  in
       the repository. It has a single setting, native, which determines the storage line endings
       for files declared as native in the [patterns] section. It can be set to LF or  CRLF.  The
       default  is  LF. For example, this means that on Windows, files configured as native (CRLF
       by default) will be converted to LF when stored in the repository. Files declared  as  LF,
       CRLF, or BIN in the [patterns] section are always stored as-is in the repository.

       Example versioned .hgeol file:

       [patterns]
       **.py = native
       **.vcproj = CRLF
       **.txt = native
       Makefile = LF
       **.jpg = BIN

       [repository]
       native = LF

       Note   The rules will first apply when files are touched in the working directory, e.g. by
              updating to null and back to tip to touch all files.

       The extension uses  an  optional  [eol]  section  read  from  both  the  normal  Mercurial
       configuration  files  and  the .hgeol file, with the latter overriding the former. You can
       use that section to control the overall behavior. There are three settings:

       • eol.native (default os.linesep) can be set  to  LF  or  CRLF  to  override  the  default
         interpretation of native for checkout. This can be used with hg archive on Unix, say, to
         generate an archive where files have line endings for Windows.

       • eol.only-consistent (default True) can be set to False to  make  the  extension  convert
         files  with inconsistent EOLs. Inconsistent means that there is both CRLF and LF present
         in the file.  Such files are normally not touched under the assumption  that  they  have
         mixed EOLs on purpose.

       • eol.fix-trailing-newline  (default  False)  can  be set to True to ensure that converted
         files end with a EOL character (either \n or \r\n as per the configured patterns).

       The extension  provides  cleverencode:  and  cleverdecode:  filters  like  the  deprecated
       win32text  extension  does.  This  means that you can disable win32text and enable eol and
       your filters will still work. You only need to these filters until  you  have  prepared  a
       .hgeol file.

       The  win32text.forbid*  hooks provided by the win32text extension have been unified into a
       single hook named eol.checkheadshook. The hook will lookup the expected line endings  from
       the  .hgeol  file,  which  means  you must migrate to a .hgeol file first before using the
       hook. eol.checkheadshook only checks heads, intermediate invalid revisions will be pushed.
       To  forbid  them  completely,  use the eol.checkallhook hook. These hooks are best used as
       pretxnchangegroup hooks.

       See hg help patterns for more information about the glob patterns used.

   extdiff
       command to allow external programs to compare revisions

       The extdiff Mercurial extension allows you to use external programs to compare  revisions,
       or  revision  with  working  directory.  The  external  diff  programs  are  called with a
       configurable set of options and two non-option arguments: paths to directories  containing
       snapshots of files to compare.

       If  there  is  more  than  one file being compared and the "child" revision is the working
       directory, any modifications made in the external diff program will be copied back to  the
       working directory from the temporary directory.

       The  extdiff  extension also allows you to configure new diff commands, so you do not need
       to type hg extdiff -p kdiff3 always.

       [extdiff]
       # add new command that runs GNU diff(1) in 'context diff' mode
       cdiff = gdiff -Nprc5
       ## or the old way:
       #cmd.cdiff = gdiff
       #opts.cdiff = -Nprc5

       # add new command called meld, runs meld (no need to name twice).  If
       # the meld executable is not available, the meld tool in [merge-tools]
       # will be used, if available
       meld =

       # add new command called vimdiff, runs gvimdiff with DirDiff plugin
       # (see http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=102) Non
       # English user, be sure to put "let g:DirDiffDynamicDiffText = 1" in
       # your .vimrc
       vimdiff = gvim -f "+next" \
                 "+execute 'DirDiff' fnameescape(argv(0)) fnameescape(argv(1))"

       Tool arguments can include variables that are expanded at runtime:

       $parent1, $plabel1 - filename, descriptive label of first parent
       $child,   $clabel  - filename, descriptive label of child revision
       $parent2, $plabel2 - filename, descriptive label of second parent
       $root              - repository root
       $parent is an alias for $parent1.

       The extdiff extension will look in your [diff-tools] and [merge-tools] sections  for  diff
       tool arguments, when none are specified in [extdiff].

       [extdiff]
       kdiff3 =

       [diff-tools]
       kdiff3.diffargs=--L1 '$plabel1' --L2 '$clabel' $parent $child

       If  a  program  has a graphical interface, it might be interesting to tell Mercurial about
       it. It will prevent the program from being mistakenly used in a terminal-only  environment
       (such  as an SSH terminal session), and will make hg extdiff --per-file open multiple file
       diffs at once instead of one by one (if you still want to open file diffs one by one,  you
       can use the --confirm option).

       Declaring  that  a  tool  has  a graphical interface can be done with the gui flag next to
       where diffargs are specified:

       [diff-tools]
       kdiff3.diffargs=--L1 '$plabel1' --L2 '$clabel' $parent $child
       kdiff3.gui = true

       You can use -I/-X and list of file or directory names like  normal  hg  diff command.  The
       extdiff  extension  makes  snapshots  of  only  needed files, so running the external diff
       program will actually be pretty fast (at least faster than having to  compare  the  entire
       tree).

   Commands
   File content management
   extdiff
       use external program to diff repository (or selected files):

       hg extdiff [OPT]... [FILE]...

       Show differences between revisions for the specified files, using an external program. The
       default program used is diff, with default options "-Npru".

       To select a different program, use the -p/--program option. The program will be passed the
       names  of  two  directories  to  compare,  unless  the --per-file option is specified (see
       below). To pass additional options to the program, use -o/--option. These will  be  passed
       before the names of the directories or files to compare.

       The --from, --to, and --change options work the same way they do for hg diff.

       The  --per-file  option runs the external program repeatedly on each file to diff, instead
       of once on two directories. By default, this happens one by one, where the next file  diff
       is  open in the external program only once the previous external program (for the previous
       file diff) has exited. If the external program has a graphical interface, it can open  all
       the file diffs at once instead of one by one. See hg help -e extdiff for information about
       how to tell Mercurial that a given program has a graphical interface.

       The --confirm option will prompt the user before each invocation of the external  program.
       It is ignored if --per-file isn't specified.

       Options:

       -p,--program <CMD>
              comparison program to run

       -o,--option <OPT[+]>
              pass option to comparison program

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>

       --from <REV1>
              revision to diff from

       --to <REV2>
              revision to diff to

       -c,--change <REV>
              change made by revision

       --per-file
              compare each file instead of revision snapshots

       --confirm
              prompt user before each external program invocation

       --patch
              compare patches for two revisions

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   factotum
       http authentication with factotum

       This  extension  allows  the  factotum(4)  facility  on Plan 9 from Bell Labs platforms to
       provide authentication information for HTTP access. Configuration entries specified in the
       auth  section  as  well  as  authentication information provided in the repository URL are
       fully supported. If no prefix is specified, a value of "*" will be assumed.

       By default, keys are specified as:

       proto=pass service=hg prefix=<prefix> user=<username> !password=<password>

       If the factotum extension is unable to read  the  required  key,  one  will  be  requested
       interactively.

       A  configuration  section  is  available  to customize runtime behavior. By default, these
       entries are:

       [factotum]
       executable = /bin/auth/factotum
       mountpoint = /mnt/factotum
       service = hg

       The executable entry defines the full path to the factotum binary.  The  mountpoint  entry
       defines  the  path  to  the  factotum file service. Lastly, the service entry controls the
       service name used when reading keys.

   fastannotate
       yet another annotate implementation that might be faster (EXPERIMENTAL)

       The fastannotate extension provides a 'fastannotate' command that makes use of the linelog
       data  structure  as a cache layer and is expected to be faster than the vanilla 'annotate'
       if the cache is present.

       In most cases, fastannotate requires a setup that mainbranch is some pointer  that  always
       moves forward, to be most efficient.

       Using  fastannotate  together with linkrevcache would speed up building the annotate cache
       greatly. Run "debugbuildlinkrevcache" before "debugbuildannotatecache".

       [fastannotate]
       # specify the main branch head. the internal linelog will only contain
       # the linear (ignoring p2) "mainbranch". since linelog cannot move
       # backwards without a rebuild, this should be something that always moves
       # forward, usually it is "master" or "@".
       mainbranch = master

       # fastannotate supports different modes to expose its feature.
       # a list of combination:
       # - fastannotate: expose the feature via the "fastannotate" command which
       #   deals with everything in a most efficient way, and provides extra
       #   features like --deleted etc.
       # - fctx: replace fctx.annotate implementation. note:
       #     a. it is less efficient than the "fastannotate" command
       #     b. it will make it practically impossible to access the old (disk
       #        side-effect free) annotate implementation
       #     c. it implies "hgweb".
       # - hgweb: replace hgweb's annotate implementation. conflict with "fctx".
       # (default: fastannotate)
       modes = fastannotate

       # default format when no format flags are used (default: number)
       defaultformat = changeset, user, date

       # serve the annotate cache via wire protocol (default: False)
       # tip: the .hg/fastannotate directory is portable - can be rsynced
       server = True

       # build annotate cache on demand for every client request (default: True)
       # disabling it could make server response faster, useful when there is a
       # cronjob building the cache.
       serverbuildondemand = True

       # update local annotate cache from remote on demand
       client = False

       # path to use when connecting to the remote server (default: default)
       remotepath = default

       # minimal length of the history of a file required to fetch linelog from
       # the server. (default: 10)
       clientfetchthreshold = 10

       # for "fctx" mode, always follow renames regardless of command line option.
       # this is a BC with the original command but will reduced the space needed
       # for annotate cache, and is useful for client-server setup since the
       # server will only provide annotate cache with default options (i.e. with
       # follow). do not affect "fastannotate" mode. (default: True)
       forcefollow = True

       # for "fctx" mode, always treat file as text files, to skip the "isbinary"
       # check. this is consistent with the "fastannotate" command and could help
       # to avoid a file fetch if remotefilelog is used. (default: True)
       forcetext = True

       # use unfiltered repo for better performance.
       unfilteredrepo = True

       # sacrifice correctness in some corner cases for performance. it does not
       # affect the correctness of the annotate cache being built. the option
       # is experimental and may disappear in the future (default: False)

   fetch
       pull, update and merge in one command (DEPRECATED)

   Commands
   Remote repository management
   fetch
       pull changes from a remote repository, merge new changes if needed.:

       hg fetch [SOURCE]

       This finds all changes from the repository at the specified path or URL and adds  them  to
       the local repository.

       If  the  pulled  changes  add a new branch head, the head is automatically merged, and the
       result of the merge is committed.  Otherwise, the working directory is updated to  include
       the new changes.

       When  a  merge  is  needed,  the  working  directory  is first updated to the newly pulled
       changes. Local changes are then merged into the pulled changes. To switch the merge order,
       use --switch-parent.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Returns 0 on success.

   fix
       rewrite file content in changesets or working copy (EXPERIMENTAL)

       Provides  a  command that runs configured tools on the contents of modified files, writing
       back any fixes to the working copy or replacing changesets.

       Fixer tools are run  in  the  repository's  root  directory.  This  allows  them  to  read
       configuration files from the working copy, or even write to the working copy.  The working
       copy is not updated to match the revision being fixed. In fact, several revisions  may  be
       fixed  in  parallel.  Writes  to  the working copy are not amended into the revision being
       fixed; fixer tools MUST always read content to be fixed from stdin, and write  fixed  file
       content back to stdout.

       Here is an example configuration that causes hg fix to apply automatic formatting fixes to
       modified lines in C++ code:

       [fix]
       clang-format:command=clang-format --assume-filename={rootpath}
       clang-format:linerange=--lines={first}:{last}
       clang-format:pattern=set:**.cpp or **.hpp

       The :command suboption forms the first part of the shell command that will be used to  fix
       a file. The content of the file is passed on standard input, and the fixed file content is
       expected on standard output. Any output on standard error will be displayed as a  warning.
       If  the  exit  status is not zero, the file will not be affected. A placeholder warning is
       displayed if there is a non-zero exit status but no standard error output. Some values may
       be substituted into the command:

       {rootpath}  The path of the file being fixed, relative to the repo root
       {basename}  The name of the file being fixed, without the directory path

       If  the  :linerange suboption is set, the tool will only be run if there are changed lines
       in a file. The value of this suboption is appended to the shell  command  once  for  every
       range of changed lines in the file. Some values may be substituted into the command:

       {first}   The 1-based line number of the first line in the modified range
       {last}    The 1-based line number of the last line in the modified range

       Deleted  sections  of  a  file  will  be  ignored  by  :linerange,  because  there  is  no
       corresponding line range in the version being fixed.

       By default, tools that set :linerange will only be executed  if  there  is  at  least  one
       changed  line  range.  This is meant to prevent accidents like running a code formatter in
       such a way that it unexpectedly reformats the whole file. If such a tool needs to  operate
       on unchanged files, it should set the :skipclean suboption to false.

       The :pattern suboption determines which files will be passed through each configured tool.
       See hg help patterns for possible values. However, all patterns are relative to  the  repo
       root,  even if that text says they are relative to the current working directory. If there
       are file arguments to hg fix, the intersection of these patterns is used.

       There is also a configurable limit for the maximum size of file that will be processed  by
       hg fix:

       [fix]
       maxfilesize = 2MB

       Normally,  execution  of  configured  tools  will continue after a failure (indicated by a
       non-zero exit status). It can also be configured to abort after the first such failure, so
       that  no  files  will  be affected if any tool fails. This abort will also cause hg fix to
       exit with a non-zero status:

       [fix]
       failure = abort

       When multiple tools are configured to affect a file, they execute in an order  defined  by
       the :priority suboption. The priority suboption has a default value of zero for each tool.
       Tools are executed in order of descending priority. The  execution  order  of  tools  with
       equal  priority is unspecified. For example, you could use the 'sort' and 'head' utilities
       to keep only the 10 smallest numbers in a text file by ensuring that  'sort'  runs  before
       'head':

       [fix]
       sort:command = sort -n
       head:command = head -n 10
       sort:pattern = numbers.txt
       head:pattern = numbers.txt
       sort:priority = 2
       head:priority = 1

       To account for changes made by each tool, the line numbers used for incremental formatting
       are recomputed before executing the next tool. So, each tool may see different values  for
       the arguments added by the :linerange suboption.

       Each  fixer tool is allowed to return some metadata in addition to the fixed file content.
       The metadata must be placed before the file content on stdout,  separated  from  the  file
       content  by  a  zero  byte. The metadata is parsed as a JSON value (so, it should be UTF-8
       encoded and contain no zero bytes). A fixer tool is  expected  to  produce  this  metadata
       encoding if and only if the :metadata suboption is true:

       [fix]
       tool:command = tool --prepend-json-metadata
       tool:metadata = true

       The  metadata  values are passed to hooks, which can be used to print summaries or perform
       other post-fixing work. The supported hooks are:

       "postfixfile"
         Run once for each file in each revision where any fixer tools made changes
         to the file content. Provides "$HG_REV" and "$HG_PATH" to identify the file,
         and "$HG_METADATA" with a map of fixer names to metadata values from fixer
         tools that affected the file. Fixer tools that didn't affect the file have a
         value of None. Only fixer tools that executed are present in the metadata.

       "postfix"
         Run once after all files and revisions have been handled. Provides
         "$HG_REPLACEMENTS" with information about what revisions were created and
         made obsolete. Provides a boolean "$HG_WDIRWRITTEN" to indicate whether any
         files in the working copy were updated. Provides a list "$HG_METADATA"
         mapping fixer tool names to lists of metadata values returned from
         executions that modified a file. This aggregates the same metadata
         previously passed to the "postfixfile" hook.

   Commands
   File content management
   fix
       rewrite file content in changesets or working directory:

       hg fix [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Runs any configured tools to fix the content of files. (See hg  help  -e  fix for  details
       about  configuring  tools.)  Only  affects  files  with changes, unless file arguments are
       provided. Only affects changed lines of files, unless the --whole flag is used. Some tools
       may always affect the whole file regardless of --whole.

       If  --working-dir  is  used,  files  with  uncommitted changes in the working copy will be
       fixed. Note that no backup are made.

       If revisions are specified with --source, those revisions and their  descendants  will  be
       checked,  and  they  may  be  replaced with new revisions that have fixed file content. By
       automatically including the descendants,  no  merging,  rebasing,  or  evolution  will  be
       required.  If  an  ancestor  of the working copy is included, then the working copy itself
       will also be fixed, and the working copy will be updated to the fixed parent.

       When determining what lines of each file to  fix  at  each  revision,  the  whole  set  of
       revisions  being fixed is considered, so that fixes to earlier revisions are not forgotten
       in later ones. The --base flag can be used to override this default behavior, though it is
       not usually desirable to do so.

       Options:

       --all  fix all non-public non-obsolete revisions

       --base <REV[+]>
              revisions  to  diff  against  (overrides  automatic selection, and applies to every
              revision being fixed)

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              revisions to fix (ADVANCED)

       -s,--source <REV[+]>
              fix the specified revisions and their descendants

       -w, --working-dir
              fix the working directory

       --whole
              always fix every line of a file

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   fsmonitor
       Faster status operations with the Watchman file monitor (EXPERIMENTAL)

       Integrates the file-watching program Watchman with  Mercurial  to  produce  faster  status
       results.

       On  a  particular Linux system, for a real-world repository with over 400,000 files hosted
       on ext4, vanilla hg status takes 1.3 seconds. On the same system, with fsmonitor it  takes
       about 0.3 seconds.

       fsmonitor  requires  no  configuration  --  it will tell Watchman about your repository as
       necessary. You'll need to install Watchman  from  https://facebook.github.io/watchman/ and
       make sure it is in your PATH.

       fsmonitor  is incompatible with the largefiles and eol extensions, and will disable itself
       if any of those are active.

       The following configuration options exist:

       [fsmonitor]
       mode = {off, on, paranoid}

       When mode = off, fsmonitor will disable itself (similar to not loading  the  extension  at
       all).  When  mode  =  on,  fsmonitor will be enabled (the default).  When mode = paranoid,
       fsmonitor will query both Watchman and the filesystem, and ensure  that  the  results  are
       consistent.

       [fsmonitor]
       timeout = (float)

       A  value,  in seconds, that determines how long fsmonitor will wait for Watchman to return
       results. Defaults to 2.0.

       [fsmonitor]
       blacklistusers = (list of userids)

       A list of usernames for which fsmonitor will disable itself altogether.

       [fsmonitor]
       walk_on_invalidate = (boolean)

       Whether or not  to  walk  the  whole  repo  ourselves  when  our  cached  state  has  been
       invalidated,  for  example  when  Watchman has been restarted or .hgignore rules have been
       changed. Walking the repo in that case can result in competing for I/O with Watchman.  For
       large repos it is recommended to set this value to false. You may wish to set this to true
       if you have a very fast filesystem that can outpace the IPC overhead of getting the result
       data for the full repo from Watchman. Defaults to false.

       [fsmonitor]
       warn_when_unused = (boolean)

       Whether to print a warning during certain operations when fsmonitor would be beneficial to
       performance but isn't enabled.

       [fsmonitor]
       warn_update_file_count = (integer)
       # or when mercurial is built with rust support
       warn_update_file_count_rust = (integer)

       If warn_when_unused is set and fsmonitor isn't enabled, a warning will be  printed  during
       working directory updates if this many files will be created.

   git
       grant Mercurial the ability to operate on Git repositories. (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This  is  currently  super  experimental.  It  probably  will  consume your firstborn a la
       Rumpelstiltskin, etc.

   githelp
       try mapping git commands to Mercurial commands

       Tries to map a given git command to a Mercurial command:

          $ hg githelp -- git checkout master hg update master

       If an unknown command or parameter combination is detected, an error is produced.

   Commands
   Help
   githelp
       suggests the Mercurial equivalent of the given git command:

       hg githelp

       Usage: hg githelp -- <git command>

          aliases: git

   gpg
       commands to sign and verify changesets

   Commands
   Signing changes (GPG)
   sigcheck
       verify all the signatures there may be for a particular revision:

       hg sigcheck REV

       verify all the signatures there may be for a particular revision

   sign
       add a signature for the current or given revision:

       hg sign [OPTION]... [REV]...

       If no revision is given, the parent of the  working  directory  is  used,  or  tip  if  no
       revision is checked out.

       The gpg.cmd config setting can be used to specify the command to run. A default key can be
       specified with gpg.key.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Options:

   hgk
       browse the repository in a graphical way

       The hgk extension allows browsing the history of a  repository  in  a  graphical  way.  It
       requires Tcl/Tk version 8.4 or later. (Tcl/Tk is not distributed with Mercurial.)

       hgk  consists  of  two  parts:  a  Tcl  script  that  does  the displaying and querying of
       information, and an extension to Mercurial named hgk.py, which provides hooks for  hgk  to
       get  information.  hgk can be found in the contrib directory, and the extension is shipped
       in the hgext repository, and needs to be enabled.

       The hg view command will launch the hgk Tcl script. For this command to work, hgk must  be
       in  your  search  path. Alternately, you can specify the path to hgk in your configuration
       file:

       [hgk]
       path = /location/of/hgk

       hgk can make use of the extdiff  extension  to  visualize  revisions.   Assuming  you  had
       already configured extdiff vdiff command, just add:

       [hgk]
       vdiff=vdiff

       Revisions  context  menu  will now display additional entries to fire vdiff on hovered and
       selected revisions.

   Commands
   Change navigation
   view
       start interactive history viewer:

       hg view [-l LIMIT] [REVRANGE]

       start interactive history viewer

       Options:

       -l,--limit <NUM>
              limit number of changes displayed

   Uncategorized commands
   highlight
       syntax highlighting for hgweb (requires Pygments)

       It depends on the Pygments syntax highlighting library: http://pygments.org/

       There are the following configuration options:

       [web]
       pygments_style = <style> (default: colorful)
       highlightfiles = <fileset> (default: size('<5M'))
       highlightonlymatchfilename = <bool> (default False)

       highlightonlymatchfilename will only highlight files if their type could be identified  by
       their  filename.  When  this  is not enabled (the default), Pygments will try very hard to
       identify the file type from content and any match (even  matches  with  a  low  confidence
       score) will be used.

   histedit
       interactive history editing

       With  this  extension  installed,  Mercurial  gains one new command: histedit. Usage is as
       follows, assuming the following history:

       @  3[tip]   7c2fd3b9020c   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       |    Add delta
       |
       o  2   030b686bedc4   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       |    Add gamma
       |
       o  1   c561b4e977df   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       |    Add beta
       |
       o  0   d8d2fcd0e319   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
            Add alpha

       If you were to run hg histedit c561b4e977df, you would see the following file open in your
       editor:

       pick c561b4e977df Add beta
       pick 030b686bedc4 Add gamma
       pick 7c2fd3b9020c Add delta

       # Edit history between c561b4e977df and 7c2fd3b9020c
       #
       # Commits are listed from least to most recent
       #
       # Commands:
       #  p, pick = use commit
       #  e, edit = use commit, but allow edits before making new commit
       #  f, fold = use commit, but combine it with the one above
       #  r, roll = like fold, but discard this commit's description and date
       #  d, drop = remove commit from history
       #  m, mess = edit commit message without changing commit content
       #  b, base = checkout changeset and apply further changesets from there
       #

       In  this  file,  lines  beginning  with  #  are  ignored. You must specify a rule for each
       revision in your history. For example, if you had meant to add gamma before beta, and then
       wanted  to  add  delta in the same revision as beta, you would reorganize the file to look
       like this:

       pick 030b686bedc4 Add gamma
       pick c561b4e977df Add beta
       fold 7c2fd3b9020c Add delta

       # Edit history between c561b4e977df and 7c2fd3b9020c
       #
       # Commits are listed from least to most recent
       #
       # Commands:
       #  p, pick = use commit
       #  e, edit = use commit, but allow edits before making new commit
       #  f, fold = use commit, but combine it with the one above
       #  r, roll = like fold, but discard this commit's description and date
       #  d, drop = remove commit from history
       #  m, mess = edit commit message without changing commit content
       #  b, base = checkout changeset and apply further changesets from there
       #

       At which point you close the editor and histedit starts working. When you specify  a  fold
       operation,  histedit  will open an editor when it folds those revisions together, offering
       you a chance to clean up the commit message:

       Add beta
       ***
       Add delta

       Edit the commit message to your liking, then close the  editor.  The  date  used  for  the
       commit  will  be  the later of the two commits' dates. For this example, let's assume that
       the commit message was changed to Add beta and delta.  After histedit has run  and  had  a
       chance to remove any old or temporary revisions it needed, the history looks like this:

       @  2[tip]   989b4d060121   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       |    Add beta and delta.
       |
       o  1   081603921c3f   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
       |    Add gamma
       |
       o  0   d8d2fcd0e319   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   durin42
            Add alpha

       Note that histedit does not remove any revisions (even its own temporary ones) until after
       it has completed all the editing operations, so it will  probably  perform  several  strip
       operations  when it's done. For the above example, it had to run strip twice. Strip can be
       slow depending on a variety of factors, so you might need to be a little patient. You  can
       choose to keep the original revisions by passing the --keep flag.

       The  edit  operation  will  drop  you back to a command prompt, allowing you to edit files
       freely, or even use hg record to commit some changes as a  separate  commit.  When  you're
       done,  any  remaining  uncommitted  changes  will  be committed as well. When done, run hg
       histedit --continue to finish this step. If  there  are  uncommitted  changes,  you'll  be
       prompted  for  a  new  commit message, but the default commit message will be the original
       message for the edit ed revision, and the date of the original commit will be preserved.

       The message operation will give you a chance to revise a commit message  without  changing
       the  contents.  It's  a  shortcut  for  doing  edit  immediately  followed  by hg histedit
       --continue`.

       If histedit encounters a conflict when moving a revision (while handling  pick  or  fold),
       it'll  stop in a similar manner to edit with the difference that it won't prompt you for a
       commit message when done. If you decide at this point that you don't like how much work it
       will  be to rearrange history, or that you made a mistake, you can use hg histedit --abort
       to abandon the new changes you have made and return to the state before you  attempted  to
       edit your history.

       If  we clone the histedit-ed example repository above and add four more changes, such that
       we have the following history:

       @  6[tip]   038383181893   2009-04-27 18:04 -0500   stefan

       If you run hg histedit --outgoing on the clone then it is the same as running hg  histedit
       836302820282.  If  you need plan to push to a repository that Mercurial does not detect to
       be related to the source repo, you can add a --force option.

   Config
       Histedit rule lines are truncated to 80 characters by  default.  You  can  customize  this
       behavior by setting a different length in your configuration file:

       [histedit]
       linelen = 120      # truncate rule lines at 120 characters

       The summary of a change can be customized as well:

       [histedit]
       summary-template = '{rev} {bookmarks} {desc|firstline}'

       The  customized  summary  should  be  kept  short  enough  that rule lines will fit in the
       configured line length. See above if that requires customization.

       hg histedit attempts to automatically choose an  appropriate  base  revision  to  use.  To
       change which base revision is used, define a revset in your configuration file:

       [histedit]
       defaultrev = only(.) & draft()

       By  default  each  edited  revision  needs  to be present in histedit commands.  To remove
       revision you need to use drop operation. You can configure the drop  to  be  implicit  for
       missing commits by adding:

       [histedit]
       dropmissing = True

       By  default,  histedit  will  close  the  transaction  after  each action. For performance
       purposes, you can configure histedit  to  use  a  single  transaction  across  the  entire
       histedit.  WARNING:  This  setting introduces a significant risk of losing the work you've
       done in a histedit if the histedit aborts unexpectedly:

       [histedit]
       singletransaction = True

   Commands
   Change manipulation
   histedit
       interactively edit changeset history:

       hg histedit [OPTIONS] ([ANCESTOR] | --outgoing [URL])

       This command lets you edit a linear series of changesets (up to and including the  working
       directory, which should be clean).  You can:

       • pick to [re]order a changeset

       • drop to omit changeset

       • mess to reword the changeset commit message

       • fold to combine it with the preceding changeset (using the later date)

       • roll like fold, but discarding this commit's description and date

       • edit to edit this changeset (preserving date)

       • base to checkout changeset and apply further changesets from there

       There are a number of ways to select the root changeset:

       • Specify ANCESTOR directly

       • Use  --outgoing  --  it  will be the first linear changeset not included in destination.
         (See hg help config.paths.default-push)

       • Otherwise, the value from the "histedit.defaultrev" config option is used as a revset to
         select  the base revision when ANCESTOR is not specified. The first revision returned by
         the revset is used. By default, this selects the editable history that is unique to  the
         ancestry of the working directory.

       If  you use --outgoing, this command will abort if there are ambiguous outgoing revisions.
       For example, if there are multiple branches containing outgoing revisions.

       Use "min(outgoing() and ::.)" or similar revset specification  instead  of  --outgoing  to
       specify  edit target revision exactly in such ambiguous situation. See hg help revsets for
       detail about selecting revisions.

       Examples:

          • A number of changes have been made.  Revision 3 is no longer needed.

            Start history editing from revision 3:

            hg histedit -r 3

            An editor opens, containing the list of revisions, with specific actions specified:

            pick 5339bf82f0ca 3 Zworgle the foobar
            pick 8ef592ce7cc4 4 Bedazzle the zerlog
            pick 0a9639fcda9d 5 Morgify the cromulancy

            Additional information about the possible actions to take appears below the  list  of
            revisions.

            To  remove  revision 3 from the history, its action (at the beginning of the relevant
            line) is changed to 'drop':

            drop 5339bf82f0ca 3 Zworgle the foobar
            pick 8ef592ce7cc4 4 Bedazzle the zerlog
            pick 0a9639fcda9d 5 Morgify the cromulancy

          • A number of changes have been made.  Revision 2 and 4 need to be swapped.

            Start history editing from revision 2:

            hg histedit -r 2

            An editor opens, containing the list of revisions, with specific actions specified:

            pick 252a1af424ad 2 Blorb a morgwazzle
            pick 5339bf82f0ca 3 Zworgle the foobar
            pick 8ef592ce7cc4 4 Bedazzle the zerlog

            To swap revision 2 and 4, its lines are swapped in the editor:

            pick 8ef592ce7cc4 4 Bedazzle the zerlog
            pick 5339bf82f0ca 3 Zworgle the foobar
            pick 252a1af424ad 2 Blorb a morgwazzle

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if user intervention is required (not only for intentional  "edit"
       command, but also for resolving unexpected conflicts).

   hooklib
       collection of simple hooks for common tasks (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This  extension  provides  a  number  of  simple  hooks to handle issues commonly found in
       repositories with many contributors: - email notification when changesets move from  draft
       to  public phase - email notification when changesets are obsoleted - enforcement of draft
       phase for all incoming changesets - enforcement of a no-branch-merge policy -  enforcement
       of a no-multiple-heads policy

       The  implementation  of  the hooks is subject to change, e.g. whether to implement them as
       individual hooks or merge them into the notify  extension  as  option.  The  functionality
       itself is planned to be supported long-term.

   infinitepush
          store some pushes in a remote blob store on the server (EXPERIMENTAL)

       IMPORTANT:  if  you  use  this extension, please contact mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org
       ASAP. This extension is believed to be unused  and  barring  learning  of  users  of  this
       functionality, we will delete this code at the end of 2020.

          bookmarks = True

   journal
       track previous positions of bookmarks (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This extension adds a new command: hg  journal,  which  shows  you  where  bookmarks  were
       previously located.

   Commands
   Change organization
   journal
       show the previous position of bookmarks and the working copy:

       hg journal [OPTION]... [BOOKMARKNAME]

       The  journal  is  used  to  see  the  previous commits that bookmarks and the working copy
       pointed to. By default the previous locations for the working copy.   Passing  a  bookmark
       name  will  show all the previous positions of that bookmark. Use the --all switch to show
       previous locations for all bookmarks and the working copy; each line will then include the
       bookmark name, or '.' for the working copy, as well.

       If  name starts with re:, the remainder of the name is treated as a regular expression. To
       match a name that actually starts with re:, use the prefix literal:.

       By default hg journal only shows the commit hash and the command that was running at  that
       time. -v/--verbose will show the prior hash, the user, and the time at which it happened.

       Use  -c/--commits to output log information on each commit hash; at this point you can use
       the usual --patch, --git, --stat and --template switches  to  alter  the  log  output  for
       these.

       hg journal -T json can be used to produce machine readable output.

       Options:

       --all  show history for all names

       -c, --commits
              show commit metadata

       -p, --patch
              show patch

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format

       -l,--limit <NUM>
              limit number of changes displayed

       --stat output diffstat-style summary of changes

       --style <STYLE>
              display using template map file (DEPRECATED)

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   keyword
       expand keywords in tracked files

       This  extension  expands  RCS/CVS-like or self-customized $Keywords$ in tracked text files
       selected by your configuration.

       Keywords are only expanded in local repositories and not stored in the change history. The
       mechanism  can  be  regarded  as  a  convenience  for  the  current  user  or  for archive
       distribution.

       Keywords expand to the changeset data pertaining to the  latest  change  relative  to  the
       working directory parent of each file.

       Configuration  is  done  in the [keyword], [keywordset] and [keywordmaps] sections of hgrc
       files.

       Example:

       [keyword]
       # expand keywords in every python file except those matching "x*"
       **.py =
       x*    = ignore

       [keywordset]
       # prefer svn- over cvs-like default keywordmaps
       svn = True

       Note   The more specific you are in your filename patterns the less you lose speed in huge
              repositories.

       For  [keywordmaps] template mapping and expansion demonstration and control run hg kwdemo.
       See hg help templates for a list of available templates and filters.

       Three additional date template filters are provided:

       utcdate

              "2006/09/18 15:13:13"

       svnutcdate

              "2006-09-18 15:13:13Z"

       svnisodate

              "2006-09-18 08:13:13 -700 (Mon, 18 Sep 2006)"

       The default template mappings (view with hg kwdemo -d) can  be  replaced  with  customized
       keywords  and templates. Again, run hg kwdemo to control the results of your configuration
       changes.

       Before changing/disabling active keywords, you  must  run  hg  kwshrink to  avoid  storing
       expanded keywords in the change history.

       To force expansion after enabling it, or a configuration change, run hg kwexpand.

       Expansions  spanning  more  than one line and incremental expansions, like CVS' $Log$, are
       not supported. A keyword template map "Log = {desc}" expands to  the  first  line  of  the
       changeset description.

   Commands
   Uncategorized commands
   kwdemo
       print [keywordmaps] configuration and an expansion example:

       hg kwdemo [-d] [-f RCFILE] [TEMPLATEMAP]...

       Show current, custom, or default keyword template maps and their expansions.

       Extend  the current configuration by specifying maps as arguments and using -f/--rcfile to
       source an external hgrc file.

       Use -d/--default to disable current configuration.

       See hg help templates for information on templates and filters.

       Options:

       -d, --default
              show default keyword template maps

       -f,--rcfile <FILE>
              read maps from rcfile

   kwexpand
       expand keywords in the working directory:

       hg kwexpand [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Run after (re)enabling keyword expansion.

       kwexpand refuses to run if given files contain local changes.

       Options:

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   kwfiles
       show files configured for keyword expansion:

       hg kwfiles [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       List which files in the working directory  are  matched  by  the  [keyword]  configuration
       patterns.

       Useful  to  prevent  inadvertent  keyword expansion and to speed up execution by including
       only files that are actual candidates for expansion.

       See hg help keyword on how to construct patterns  both  for  inclusion  and  exclusion  of
       files.

       With -A/--all and -v/--verbose the codes used to show the status of files are:

       K = keyword expansion candidate
       k = keyword expansion candidate (not tracked)
       I = ignored
       i = ignored (not tracked)

       Options:

       -A, --all
              show keyword status flags of all files

       -i, --ignore
              show files excluded from expansion

       -u, --unknown
              only show unknown (not tracked) files

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   kwshrink
       revert expanded keywords in the working directory:

       hg kwshrink [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Must be run before changing/disabling active keywords.

       kwshrink refuses to run if given files contain local changes.

       Options:

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   largefiles
       track large binary files

       Large  binary  files  tend  to be not very compressible, not very diffable, and not at all
       mergeable. Such files are not handled efficiently by Mercurial's storage format  (revlog),
       which  is  based  on  compressed  binary  deltas;  storing  large  binary files as regular
       Mercurial files wastes bandwidth and disk space and increases  Mercurial's  memory  usage.
       The  largefiles  extension  addresses these problems by adding a centralized client-server
       layer on top of Mercurial:  largefiles  live  in  a  central  store  out  on  the  network
       somewhere, and you only fetch the revisions that you need when you need them.

       largefiles  works  by  maintaining  a  "standin  file"  in  .hglf/ for each largefile. The
       standins are small (41 bytes: an SHA-1 hash plus newline) and are  tracked  by  Mercurial.
       Largefile  revisions  are identified by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, which is written
       to the standin. largefiles uses that revision ID to get/put  largefile  revisions  from/to
       the  central  store.  This  saves  both  disk space and bandwidth, since you don't need to
       retrieve all historical revisions of large files when you clone or pull.

       To start a new repository or add new large binary files, just add --large to your  hg  add
       command. For example:

       $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=randomdata count=2000
       $ hg add --large randomdata
       $ hg commit -m "add randomdata as a largefile"

       When  you  push  a  changeset  that  adds/modifies  largefiles to a remote repository, its
       largefile revisions will be uploaded along with it.  Note that the remote  Mercurial  must
       also have the largefiles extension enabled for this to work.

       When you pull a changeset that affects largefiles from a remote repository, the largefiles
       for the changeset will by default not be pulled down. However, when you update to  such  a
       revision,  any  largefiles needed by that revision are downloaded and cached (if they have
       never been downloaded before). One way to pull largefiles when  pulling  is  thus  to  use
       --update,  which  will update your working copy to the latest pulled revision (and thereby
       downloading any new largefiles).

       If you want to pull largefiles you don't need for update yet, then you can use  pull  with
       the --lfrev option or the hg lfpull command.

       If  you  know  you  are  pulling  from a non-default location and want to download all the
       largefiles that correspond to the new changesets at the same time, then you can pull  with
       --lfrev "pulled()".

       If  you  just  want  to ensure that you will have the largefiles needed to merge or rebase
       with new heads that you are pulling, then you can pull with --lfrev "head(pulled())"  flag
       to pre-emptively download any largefiles that are new in the heads you are pulling.

       Keep in mind that network access may now be required to update to changesets that you have
       not previously updated to. The nature of the largefiles extension means that  updating  is
       no longer guaranteed to be a local-only operation.

       If you already have large files tracked by Mercurial without the largefiles extension, you
       will need to convert your repository in order to benefit from  largefiles.  This  is  done
       with the hg lfconvert command:

       $ hg lfconvert --size 10 oldrepo newrepo

       In  repositories  that  already  have  largefiles  in  them,  any  new file over 10MB will
       automatically be added as a largefile. To change this threshold, set largefiles.minsize in
       your  Mercurial  config  file to the minimum size in megabytes to track as a largefile, or
       use the --lfsize option to the add command (also in megabytes):

       [largefiles]
       minsize = 2

       $ hg add --lfsize 2

       The largefiles.patterns config option allows you to specify a list  of  filename  patterns
       (see hg help patterns) that should always be tracked as largefiles:

       [largefiles]
       patterns =
         *.jpg
         re:.*\.(png|bmp)$
         library.zip
         content/audio/*

       Files  that  match  one  of these patterns will be added as largefiles regardless of their
       size.

       The largefiles.minsize and largefiles.patterns config options  will  be  ignored  for  any
       repositories  not  already  containing  a  largefile.  To  add  the  first  largefile to a
       repository, you must explicitly do so with the --large flag passed to the hg add command.

   Commands
   Uncategorized commands
   lfconvert
       convert a normal repository to a largefiles repository:

       hg lfconvert SOURCE DEST [FILE ...]

       Convert repository SOURCE to a new  repository  DEST,  identical  to  SOURCE  except  that
       certain  files  will  be  converted as largefiles: specifically, any file that matches any
       PATTERN or whose size is above the minimum size threshold is converted as a largefile. The
       size  used  to  determine whether or not to track a file as a largefile is the size of the
       first version of the file. The minimum size can be specified  either  with  --size  or  in
       configuration as largefiles.size.

       After  running this command you will need to make sure that largefiles is enabled anywhere
       you intend to push the new repository.

       Use --to-normal to  convert  largefiles  back  to  normal  files;  after  this,  the  DEST
       repository can be used without largefiles at all.

       Options:

       -s,--size <SIZE>
              minimum size (MB) for files to be converted as largefiles

       --to-normal
              convert from a largefiles repo to a normal repo

   lfpull
       pull largefiles for the specified revisions from the specified source:

       hg lfpull -r REV... [-e CMD] [--remotecmd CMD] [SOURCE]

       Pull  largefiles  that  are  referenced from local changesets but missing locally, pulling
       from a remote repository to the local cache.

       If SOURCE is omitted, the 'default'  path  will  be  used.   See  hg  help  urls for  more
       information.

       Some examples:

       • pull largefiles for all branch heads:

         hg lfpull -r "head() and not closed()"

       • pull largefiles on the default branch:

         hg lfpull -r "branch(default)"

       Options:

       -r,--rev <VALUE[+]>
              pull largefiles for these revisions

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

   lfs
       lfs - large file support (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This  extension  allows large files to be tracked outside of the normal repository storage
       and stored on a centralized server, similar to  the  largefiles  extension.   The  git-lfs
       protocol is used when communicating with the server, so existing git infrastructure can be
       harnessed.  Even though the files are stored outside of the  repository,  they  are  still
       integrity checked in the same manner as normal files.

       The  files  stored  outside  of the repository are downloaded on demand, which reduces the
       time to clone, and possibly the local disk usage.  This changes fundamental workflows in a
       DVCS,  so  careful thought should be given before deploying it.  hg convert can be used to
       convert LFS repositories to normal repositories that no longer require this extension, and
       do so without changing the commit hashes.  This allows the extension to be disabled if the
       centralized workflow becomes burdensome.  However, the pre and post  convert  clones  will
       not be able to communicate with each other unless the extension is enabled on both.

       To  start  a new repository, or to add LFS files to an existing one, just create an .hglfs
       file as described below in the root directory of the  repository.   Typically,  this  file
       should  be  put  under  version  control,  so  that  the  settings will propagate to other
       repositories with push and pull.  During any commit, Mercurial will consult this  file  to
       determine  if  an added or modified file should be stored externally.  The type of storage
       depends on the characteristics of the file at each commit.  A file that  is  near  a  size
       threshold may switch back and forth between LFS and normal storage, as needed.

       Alternately,  both  normal  repositories  and  largefile  controlled  repositories  can be
       converted to LFS by using hg convert and the lfs.track config option described below.  The
       .hglfs  file  should  then be created and added, to control subsequent LFS selection.  The
       hashes are also unchanged  in  this  case.   The  LFS  and  non-LFS  repositories  can  be
       distinguished  because  the  LFS  repository  will  abort any command if this extension is
       disabled.

       Committed LFS files are held locally, until the repository is pushed.   Prior  to  pushing
       the  normal  repository  data,  the LFS files that are tracked by the outgoing commits are
       automatically uploaded to the configured central server.  No LFS files are transferred  on
       hg pull or hg clone.  Instead, the files are downloaded on demand as they need to be read,
       if a cached copy cannot be found locally.  Both committing and  downloading  an  LFS  file
       will  link  the  file to a usercache, to speed up future access.  See the usercache config
       setting described below.

       The extension reads its configuration from a versioned .hglfs configuration file found  in
       the  root  of  the  working  directory.  The .hglfs file uses the same syntax as all other
       Mercurial configuration files. It uses a single section, [track].

       The [track] section specifies which files are stored as LFS (or not). Each line  is  keyed
       by  a  file pattern, with a predicate value.  The first file pattern match is used, so put
       more specific patterns first.  The available predicates are all(), none(), and size(). See
       "hg help filesets.size" for the latter.

       Example versioned .hglfs file:

       [track]
       # No Makefile or python file, anywhere, will be LFS
       **Makefile = none()
       **.py = none()

       **.zip = all()
       **.exe = size(">1MB")

       # Catchall for everything not matched above
       ** = size(">10MB")

       Configs:

       [lfs]
       # Remote endpoint. Multiple protocols are supported:
       # - http(s)://user:pass@example.com/path
       #   git-lfs endpoint
       # - file:///tmp/path
       #   local filesystem, usually for testing
       # if unset, lfs will assume the remote repository also handles blob storage
       # for http(s) URLs.  Otherwise, lfs will prompt to set this when it must
       # use this value.
       # (default: unset)
       url = https://example.com/repo.git/info/lfs

       # Which files to track in LFS.  Path tests are "**.extname" for file
       # extensions, and "path:under/some/directory" for path prefix.  Both
       # are relative to the repository root.
       # File size can be tested with the "size()" fileset, and tests can be
       # joined with fileset operators.  (See "hg help filesets.operators".)
       #
       # Some examples:
       # - all()                       # everything
       # - none()                      # nothing
       # - size(">20MB")               # larger than 20MB
       # - !**.txt                     # anything not a *.txt file
       # - **.zip | **.tar.gz | **.7z  # some types of compressed files
       # - path:bin                    # files under "bin" in the project root
       # - (**.php & size(">2MB")) | (**.js & size(">5MB")) | **.tar.gz
       #     | (path:bin & !path:/bin/README) | size(">1GB")
       # (default: none())
       #
       # This is ignored if there is a tracked '.hglfs' file, and this setting
       # will eventually be deprecated and removed.
       track = size(">10M")

       # how many times to retry before giving up on transferring an object
       retry = 5

       # the local directory to store lfs files for sharing across local clones.
       # If not set, the cache is located in an OS specific cache location.

   Commands
   Uncategorized commands
   logtoprocess
       send ui.log() data to a subprocess (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This  extension lets you specify a shell command per ui.log() event, sending all remaining
       arguments to as environment variables to that command.

       Positional arguments construct a log message, which is  passed  in  the  MSG1  environment
       variables.  Each  keyword  argument  is set as a OPT_UPPERCASE_KEY variable (so the key is
       uppercased, and prefixed with OPT_). The original  event  name  is  passed  in  the  EVENT
       environment variable, and the process ID of mercurial is given in HGPID.

       So  given a call ui.log('foo', 'bar %s ', 'baz', spam='eggs'), a script configured for the
       `foo event can expect an environment with MSG1=bar baz, and OPT_SPAM=eggs.

       Scripts are configured in the  [logtoprocess]  section,  each  key  an  event  name.   For
       example:

       [logtoprocess]
       commandexception = echo "$MSG1" > /var/log/mercurial_exceptions.log

       would log the warning message and traceback of any failed command dispatch.

       Scripts  are  run  asynchronously  as detached daemon processes; mercurial will not ensure
       that they exit cleanly.

   mq
       manage a stack of patches

       This extension lets you work with a stack of patches in a Mercurial repository. It manages
       two stacks of patches - all known patches, and applied patches (subset of known patches).

       Known patches are represented as patch files in the .hg/patches directory. Applied patches
       are both patch files and changesets.

       Common tasks (use hg help COMMAND for more details):

       create new patch                          qnew
       import existing patch                     qimport

       print patch series                        qseries
       print applied patches                     qapplied

       add known patch to applied stack          qpush
       remove patch from applied stack           qpop
       refresh contents of top applied patch     qrefresh

       By default, mq will automatically use git patches when required to avoid losing file  mode
       changes,  copy  records, binary files or empty files creations or deletions. This behavior
       can be configured with:

       [mq]
       git = auto/keep/yes/no

       If set to 'keep', mq will obey the [diff] section configuration while preserving  existing
       git  patches  upon  qrefresh. If set to 'yes' or 'no', mq will override the [diff] section
       and always generate git or regular patches, possibly losing data in the second case.

       It may be desirable for mq changesets to be kept in the secret phase (see hg help phases),
       which can be enabled with the following setting:

       [mq]
       secret = True

       You  will  by  default  be  managing  a patch queue named "patches". You can create other,
       independent patch queues with the hg qqueue command.

       If the  working  directory  contains  uncommitted  files,  qpush,  qpop  and  qgoto  abort
       immediately. If -f/--force is used, the changes are discarded. Setting:

       [mq]
       keepchanges = True

       make  them behave as if --keep-changes were passed, and non-conflicting local changes will
       be tolerated and preserved. If incompatible options such  as  -f/--force  or  --exact  are
       passed, this setting is ignored.

       This  extension  used  to  provide  a  strip  command. This command now lives in the strip
       extension.

   Commands
   Repository creation
   qclone
       clone main and patch repository at same time:

       hg qclone [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST]

       If source is local, destination will have no patches applied. If source  is  remote,  this
       command  can  not check if patches are applied in source, so cannot guarantee that patches
       are not applied in destination. If you clone remote repository, be sure before that it has
       no patches applied.

       Source  patch  repository  is  looked for in <src>/.hg/patches by default. Use -p <url> to
       change.

       The patch directory must be a nested Mercurial repository, as would be created by hg  init
       --mq.

       Return 0 on success.

       Options:

       --pull use pull protocol to copy metadata

       -U, --noupdate
              do not update the new working directories

       --uncompressed
              use uncompressed transfer (fast over LAN)

       -p,--patches <REPO>
              location of source patch repository

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

   qinit
       init a new queue repository (DEPRECATED):

       hg qinit [-c]

       The  queue  repository  is unversioned by default. If -c/--create-repo is specified, qinit
       will create a separate nested repository for patches (qinit -c may also be  run  later  to
       convert  an  unversioned  patch  repository  into a versioned one). You can use qcommit to
       commit changes to this queue repository.

       This command is deprecated. Without -c, it's implied by other relevant commands. With  -c,
       use hg init --mq instead.

       Options:

       -c, --create-repo
              create queue repository

   Change creation
   qcommit
       commit changes in the queue repository (DEPRECATED):

       hg qcommit [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       This command is deprecated; use hg commit --mq instead.

       Options:

       -A, --addremove
              mark new/missing files as added/removed before committing

       --close-branch
              mark a branch head as closed

       --amend
              amend the parent of the working directory

       -s, --secret
              use the secret phase for committing

       --draft
              use the draft phase for committing

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       --force-close-branch
              forcibly close branch from a non-head changeset (ADVANCED)

       -i, --interactive
              use interactive mode

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

       -S, --subrepos
              recurse into subrepositories

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

          aliases: qci

   qnew
       create a new patch:

       hg qnew [-e] [-m TEXT] [-l FILE] PATCH [FILE]...

       qnew creates a new patch on top of the currently-applied patch (if any). The patch will be
       initialized with any outstanding changes in  the  working  directory.  You  may  also  use
       -I/--include,  -X/--exclude,  and/or  a  list  of  files  after the patch name to add only
       changes to matching files to the new patch, leaving the rest as uncommitted modifications.

       -u/--user and -d/--date can be used to  set  the  (given)  user  and  date,  respectively.
       -U/--currentuser and -D/--currentdate set user to current user and date to current date.

       -e/--edit,  -m/--message  or  -l/--logfile  set  the  patch  header  as well as the commit
       message. If none is specified, the header is  empty  and  the  commit  message  is  '[mq]:
       PATCH'.

       Use  the -g/--git option to keep the patch in the git extended diff format. Read the diffs
       help topic for more information on why this is important for preserving permission changes
       and copy/rename information.

       Returns 0 on successful creation of a new patch.

       Options:

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -f, --force
              import uncommitted changes (DEPRECATED)

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format

       -U, --currentuser
              add "From: <current user>" to patch

       -u,--user <USER>
              add "From: <USER>" to patch

       -D, --currentdate
              add "Date: <current date>" to patch

       -d,--date <DATE>
              add "Date: <DATE>" to patch

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   qrefresh
       update the current patch:

       hg qrefresh [-I] [-X] [-e] [-m TEXT] [-l FILE] [-s] [FILE]...

       If any file patterns are provided, the refreshed patch will contain only the modifications
       that match those  patterns;  the  remaining  modifications  will  remain  in  the  working
       directory.

       If  -s/--short  is specified, files currently included in the patch will be refreshed just
       like matched files and remain in the patch.

       If -e/--edit is specified, Mercurial will start your configured editor for you to enter  a
       message.   In   case   qrefresh  fails,  you  will  find  a  backup  of  your  message  in
       .hg/last-message.txt.

       hg add/remove/copy/rename work as usual, though you might want to  use  git-style  patches
       (-g/--git  or [diff] git=1) to track copies and renames. See the diffs help topic for more
       information on the git diff format.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format

       -s, --short
              refresh only files already in the patch and specified files

       -U, --currentuser
              add/update author field in patch with current user

       -u,--user <USER>
              add/update author field in patch with given user

       -D, --currentdate
              add/update date field in patch with current date

       -d,--date <DATE>
              add/update date field in patch with given date

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   Change manipulation
   qfold
       fold the named patches into the current patch:

       hg qfold [-e] [-k] [-m TEXT] [-l FILE] PATCH...

       Patches must not yet be applied. Each patch will be successively applied  to  the  current
       patch in the order given. If all the patches apply successfully, the current patch will be
       refreshed with the new cumulative patch, and the folded  patches  will  be  deleted.  With
       -k/--keep, the folded patch files will not be removed afterwards.

       The  header  for  each  folded  patch  will be concatenated with the current patch header,
       separated by a line of * * *.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       -k, --keep
              keep folded patch files

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

   Change organization
   qapplied
       print the patches already applied:

       hg qapplied [-1] [-s] [PATCH]

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -1, --last
              show only the preceding applied patch

       -s, --summary
              print first line of patch header

   qdelete
       remove patches from queue:

       hg qdelete [-k] [PATCH]...

       The patches must not be  applied,  and  at  least  one  patch  is  required.  Exact  patch
       identifiers  must  be  given.  With  -k/--keep, the patch files are preserved in the patch
       directory.

       To stop managing a patch and move it into permanent history, use the hg qfinish command.

       Options:

       -k, --keep
              keep patch file

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              stop managing a revision (DEPRECATED)

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

          aliases: qremove qrm

   qfinish
       move applied patches into repository history:

       hg qfinish [-a] [REV]...

       Finishes the specified revisions (corresponding to applied patches) by moving them out  of
       mq control into regular repository history.

       Accepts  a  revision  range  or  the  -a/--applied  option. If --applied is specified, all
       applied mq revisions are removed from mq control. Otherwise, the given revisions  must  be
       at the base of the stack of applied patches.

       This can be especially useful if your changes have been applied to an upstream repository,
       or if you are about to push your changes to upstream.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -a, --applied
              finish all applied changesets

   qgoto
       push or pop patches until named patch is at top of stack:

       hg qgoto [OPTION]... PATCH

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       --keep-changes
              tolerate non-conflicting local changes

       -f, --force
              overwrite any local changes

       --no-backup
              do not save backup copies of files

   qguard
       set or print guards for a patch:

       hg qguard [-l] [-n] [PATCH] [-- [+GUARD]... [-GUARD]...]

       Guards control whether a patch can be pushed. A patch with no guards is always  pushed.  A
       patch  with  a  positive  guard  ("+foo")  is  pushed  only  if the hg qselect command has
       activated it. A patch with a negative guard ("-foo") is never pushed  if  the  hg  qselect
       command has activated it.

       With  no arguments, print the currently active guards.  With arguments, set guards for the
       named patch.

       Note   Specifying negative guards now requires '--'.

       To set guards on another patch:

       hg qguard other.patch -- +2.6.17 -stable

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -l, --list
              list all patches and guards

       -n, --none
              drop all guards

   qheader
       print the header of the topmost or specified patch:

       hg qheader [PATCH]

       Returns 0 on success.

   qnext
       print the name of the next pushable patch:

       hg qnext [-s]

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -s, --summary
              print first line of patch header

   qpop
       pop the current patch off the stack:

       hg qpop [-a] [-f] [PATCH | INDEX]

       Without argument, pops off the top of the patch  stack.  If  given  a  patch  name,  keeps
       popping off patches until the named patch is at the top of the stack.

       By   default,   abort   if  the  working  directory  contains  uncommitted  changes.  With
       --keep-changes, abort only if the uncommitted  files  overlap  with  patched  files.  With
       -f/--force, backup and discard changes made to such files.

       Return 0 on success.

       Options:

       -a, --all
              pop all patches

       -n,--name <NAME>
              queue name to pop (DEPRECATED)

       --keep-changes
              tolerate non-conflicting local changes

       -f, --force
              forget any local changes to patched files

       --no-backup
              do not save backup copies of files

   qprev
       print the name of the preceding applied patch:

       hg qprev [-s]

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -s, --summary
              print first line of patch header

   qpush
       push the next patch onto the stack:

       hg qpush [-f] [-l] [-a] [--move] [PATCH | INDEX]

       By   default,   abort   if  the  working  directory  contains  uncommitted  changes.  With
       --keep-changes, abort only if the uncommitted  files  overlap  with  patched  files.  With
       -f/--force, backup and patch over uncommitted changes.

       Return 0 on success.

       Options:

       --keep-changes
              tolerate non-conflicting local changes

       -f, --force
              apply on top of local changes

       -e, --exact
              apply the target patch to its recorded parent

       -l, --list
              list patch name in commit text

       -a, --all
              apply all patches

       -m, --merge
              merge from another queue (DEPRECATED)

       -n,--name <NAME>
              merge queue name (DEPRECATED)

       --move reorder patch series and apply only the patch

       --no-backup
              do not save backup copies of files

   qqueue
       manage multiple patch queues:

       hg qqueue [OPTION] [QUEUE]

       Supports  switching  between  different patch queues, as well as creating new patch queues
       and deleting existing ones.

       Omitting a queue name or specifying -l/--list will show you the  registered  queues  -  by
       default  the  "normal"  patches  queue  is  registered. The currently active queue will be
       marked with "(active)". Specifying --active will print only the name of the active queue.

       To create a new queue, use -c/--create. The queue is automatically made active, except  in
       the  case  where  there  are  applied  patches  from  the  currently  active  queue in the
       repository. Then the queue will only be created and switching will fail.

       To delete an existing queue, use --delete. You cannot delete the currently active queue.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -l, --list
              list all available queues

       --active
              print name of active queue

       -c, --create
              create new queue

       --rename
              rename active queue

       --delete
              delete reference to queue

       --purge
              delete queue, and remove patch dir

   qrename
       rename a patch:

       hg qrename PATCH1 [PATCH2]

       With one argument, renames the current patch  to  PATCH1.   With  two  arguments,  renames
       PATCH1 to PATCH2.

       Returns 0 on success.

          aliases: qmv

   qrestore
       restore the queue state saved by a revision (DEPRECATED):

       hg qrestore [-d] [-u] REV

       This command is deprecated, use hg rebase instead.

       Options:

       -d, --delete
              delete save entry

       -u, --update
              update queue working directory

   qsave
       save current queue state (DEPRECATED):

       hg qsave [-m TEXT] [-l FILE] [-c] [-n NAME] [-e] [-f]

       This command is deprecated, use hg rebase instead.

       Options:

       -c, --copy
              copy patch directory

       -n,--name <NAME>
              copy directory name

       -e, --empty
              clear queue status file

       -f, --force
              force copy

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

   qselect
       set or print guarded patches to push:

       hg qselect [OPTION]... [GUARD]...

       Use  the  hg  qguard command  to set or print guards on patch, then use qselect to tell mq
       which guards to use. A patch will be pushed if it has no guards  or  any  positive  guards
       match  the  currently  selected guard, but will not be pushed if any negative guards match
       the current guard. For example:

       qguard foo.patch -- -stable    (negative guard)
       qguard bar.patch    +stable    (positive guard)
       qselect stable

       This activates the "stable" guard. mq will skip  foo.patch  (because  it  has  a  negative
       match) but push bar.patch (because it has a positive match).

       With no arguments, prints the currently active guards.  With one argument, sets the active
       guard.

       Use -n/--none to deactivate guards (no  other  arguments  needed).   When  no  guards  are
       active,  patches  with  positive  guards  are skipped and patches with negative guards are
       pushed.

       qselect can change the guards on applied patches. It  does  not  pop  guarded  patches  by
       default.  Use  --pop  to  pop  back  to  the  last  applied patch that is not guarded. Use
       --reapply (which implies --pop) to push back to the current  patch  afterwards,  but  skip
       guarded patches.

       Use  -s/--series  to  print  a  list  of all guards in the series file (no other arguments
       needed). Use -v for more information.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -n, --none
              disable all guards

       -s, --series
              list all guards in series file

       --pop  pop to before first guarded applied patch

       --reapply
              pop, then reapply patches

   qseries
       print the entire series file:

       hg qseries [-ms]

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -m, --missing
              print patches not in series

       -s, --summary
              print first line of patch header

   qtop
       print the name of the current patch:

       hg qtop [-s]

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -s, --summary
              print first line of patch header

   qunapplied
       print the patches not yet applied:

       hg qunapplied [-1] [-s] [PATCH]

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -1, --first
              show only the first patch

       -s, --summary
              print first line of patch header

   File content management
   qdiff
       diff of the current patch and subsequent modifications:

       hg qdiff [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       Shows a diff which includes the current patch as well as any changes which have been  made
       in the working directory since the last refresh (thus showing what the current patch would
       become after a qrefresh).

       Use hg diff if you only want to see the changes made since the last qrefresh, or hg export
       qtip if  you  want to see changes made by the current patch without including changes made
       since the qrefresh.

       Returns 0 on success.

       Options:

       -a, --text
              treat all files as text

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format (DEFAULT: diff.git)

       --binary
              generate binary diffs in git mode (default)

       --nodates
              omit dates from diff headers

              show which function each change is in (DEFAULT: diff.showfunc)

       --reverse
              produce a diff that undoes the changes

       -w, --ignore-all-space
              ignore white space when comparing lines

       -b, --ignore-space-change
              ignore changes in the amount of white space

       -B, --ignore-blank-lines
              ignore changes whose lines are all blank

       -Z, --ignore-space-at-eol
              ignore changes in whitespace at EOL

       -U,--unified <NUM>
              number of lines of context to show

       --stat output diffstat-style summary of changes

       --root <DIR>
              produce diffs relative to subdirectory

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   Change import/export
   qimport
       import a patch or existing changeset:

       hg qimport [-e] [-n NAME] [-f] [-g] [-P] [-r REV]... [FILE]...

       The patch is inserted into the series after the last applied patch.  If  no  patches  have
       been applied, qimport prepends the patch to the series.

       The  patch  will  have  the same name as its source file unless you give it a new one with
       -n/--name.

       You can register an existing patch inside the patch directory with the -e/--existing flag.

       With -f/--force, an existing patch of the same name will be overwritten.

       An existing changeset may be placed under mq control with -r/--rev (e.g. qimport  --rev  .
       -n  patch  will  place  the  current  revision  under  mq control). With -g/--git, patches
       imported with --rev will use the git diff format. See the diffs help topic for information
       on  why  this  is important for preserving rename/copy information and permission changes.
       Use hg qfinish to remove changesets from mq control.

       To import a patch from standard input, pass - as the  patch  file.   When  importing  from
       standard input, a patch name must be specified using the --name flag.

       To import an existing patch while renaming it:

       hg qimport -e existing-patch -n new-name

       Returns 0 if import succeeded.

       Options:

       -e, --existing
              import file in patch directory

       -n,--name <NAME>
              name of patch file

       -f, --force
              overwrite existing files

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              place existing revisions under mq control

       -g, --git
              use git extended diff format

       -P, --push
              qpush after importing

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   narrow
       create clones which fetch history data for subset of files (EXPERIMENTAL)

   Commands
   Repository maintenance
   tracked
       show or change the current narrowspec:

       hg tracked [OPTIONS]... [REMOTE]

       With  no  argument,  shows the current narrowspec entries, one per line. Each line will be
       prefixed with 'I' or 'X' for included or excluded patterns, respectively.

       The narrowspec is comprised of expressions to match remote files and/or  directories  that
       should  be  pulled  into your client.  The narrowspec has include and exclude expressions,
       with excludes always trumping includes: that is, if a file matches an exclude  expression,
       it  will  be excluded even if it also matches an include expression.  Excluding files that
       were never included has no effect.

       Each included or excluded entry is in the format described by 'hg help patterns'.

       The options allow you to add or remove included and excluded expressions.

       If --clear is specified, then all previous includes and excludes are DROPPED and  replaced
       by  the  new  ones  specified  to  --addinclude and --addexclude.  If --clear is specified
       without any further options, the narrowspec will be empty and will not match any files.

       If --auto-remove-includes is specified, then those includes that  don't  match  any  files
       modified by currently visible local commits (those not shared by the remote) will be added
       to the set of explicitly specified includes to remove.

       --import-rules  accepts  a  path  to  a  file  containing  rules,  allowing  you  to   add
       --addinclude, --addexclude rules in bulk. Like the other include and exclude switches, the
       changes are applied immediately.

       Options:

       --addinclude <VALUE[+]>
              new paths to include

       --removeinclude <VALUE[+]>
              old paths to no longer include

       --auto-remove-includes
              automatically choose unused includes to remove

       --addexclude <VALUE[+]>
              new paths to exclude

       --import-rules <VALUE>
              import narrowspecs from a file

       --removeexclude <VALUE[+]>
              old paths to no longer exclude

       --clear
              whether to replace the existing narrowspec

       --force-delete-local-changes
              forces deletion of local changes when narrowing

       --backup
              back up local changes when narrowing (default: True)

       --update-working-copy
              update working copy when the store has changed

       -e,--ssh <CMD>
              specify ssh command to use

       --remotecmd <CMD>
              specify hg command to run on the remote side

       --insecure
              do not verify server certificate (ignoring web.cacerts config)

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   notify
       hooks for sending email push notifications

       This extension implements hooks to send email notifications when changesets are sent  from
       or received by the local repository.

       First,  enable the extension as explained in hg help extensions, and register the hook you
       want to run. incoming and changegroup hooks are run when changesets  are  received,  while
       outgoing hooks are for changesets sent to another repository:

       [hooks]
       # one email for each incoming changeset
       incoming.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook
       # one email for all incoming changesets
       changegroup.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook

       # one email for all outgoing changesets
       outgoing.notify = python:hgext.notify.hook

       This  registers  the  hooks.  To  enable  notification,  subscribers  must  be assigned to
       repositories. The [usersubs] section maps multiple repositories to a given recipient.  The
       [reposubs] section maps multiple recipients to a single repository:

       [usersubs]
       # key is subscriber email, value is a comma-separated list of repo patterns
       user@host = pattern

       [reposubs]
       # key is repo pattern, value is a comma-separated list of subscriber emails
       pattern = user@host

       A pattern is a glob matching the absolute path to a repository, optionally combined with a
       revset expression. A revset expression, if present, is separated from the glob by a  hash.
       Example:

       [reposubs]
       */widgets#branch(release) = qa-team@example.com

       This  sends  to  qa-team@example.com whenever a changeset on the release branch triggers a
       notification in any repository ending in widgets.

       In order to place them under direct user management, [usersubs]  and  [reposubs]  sections
       may be placed in a separate hgrc file and incorporated by reference:

       [notify]
       config = /path/to/subscriptionsfile

       Notifications will not be sent until the notify.test value is set to False; see below.

       Notifications content can be tweaked with the following configuration entries:

       notify.test
              If True, print messages to stdout instead of sending them. Default: True.

       notify.sources
              Space-separated  list  of  change  sources. Notifications are activated only when a
              changeset's source is in this list. Sources may be:

              serve

                     changesets received via http or ssh

              pull

                     changesets received via hg pull

              unbundle

                     changesets received via hg unbundle

              push

                     changesets sent or received via hg push

              bundle

                     changesets sent via hg unbundle

              Default: serve.

       notify.strip
              Number of leading slashes to  strip  from  url  paths.  By  default,  notifications
              reference  repositories  with  their absolute path. notify.strip lets you turn them
              into relative paths. For example, notify.strip=3 will change  /long/path/repository
              into repository. Default: 0.

       notify.domain
              Default  email domain for sender or recipients with no explicit domain.  It is also
              used for the domain part of the Message-Id when using notify.messageidseed.

       notify.messageidseed
              Create deterministic Message-Id headers for the mails based on  the  seed  and  the
              revision identifier of the first commit in the changeset.

       notify.style
              Style file to use when formatting emails.

       notify.template
              Template to use when formatting emails.

       notify.incoming
              Template to use when run as an incoming hook, overriding notify.template.

       notify.outgoing
              Template to use when run as an outgoing hook, overriding notify.template.

       notify.changegroup
              Template to use when running as a changegroup hook, overriding notify.template.

       notify.maxdiff
              Maximum  number of diff lines to include in notification email. Set to 0 to disable
              the diff, or -1 to include all of it. Default: 300.

       notify.maxdiffstat
              Maximum number of diffstat lines to include in notification email.  Set  to  -1  to
              include all of it. Default: -1.

       notify.maxsubject
              Maximum number of characters in email's subject line. Default: 67.

       notify.diffstat
              Set to True to include a diffstat before diff content. Default: True.

       notify.showfunc
              If set, override diff.showfunc for the diff content. Default: None.

       notify.merge
              If True, send notifications for merge changesets. Default: True.

       notify.mbox
              If set, append mails to this mbox file instead of sending. Default: None.

       notify.fromauthor
              If  set,  use  the committer of the first changeset in a changegroup for the "From"
              field of the notification mail. If not set, take the user from  the  pushing  repo.
              Default: False.

       notify.reply-to-predecessor (EXPERIMENTAL)
              If  set  and  the  changeset has a predecessor in the repository, try to thread the
              notification mail with the predecessor. This adds the "In-Reply-To" header  to  the
              notification  mail  with  a reference to the predecessor with the smallest revision
              number. Mail threads can still be torn, especially when changesets are folded.

              This option must  be used in combination with notify.messageidseed.

       If set, the following entries will also be used to customize the notifications:

       email.from
              Email From address to use if none can be found in the generated email content.

       web.baseurl
              Root repository URL to combine with repository paths when  making  references.  See
              also notify.strip.

   pager
       browse command output with an external pager (DEPRECATED)

       Forcibly  enable  paging  for  individual commands that don't typically request pagination
       with the attend-<command> option. This setting takes precedence over  ignore  options  and
       defaults:

       [pager]
       attend-cat = false

   patchbomb
       command to send changesets as (a series of) patch emails

       The series is started off with a "[PATCH 0 of N]" introduction, which describes the series
       as a whole.

       Each patch email has a Subject line of "[PATCH M of N] ...", using the first line  of  the
       changeset description as the subject text. The message contains two or three body parts:

       • The changeset description.

       • [Optional] The result of running diffstat on the patch.

       • The patch itself, as generated by hg export.

       Each  message  refers  to  the  first  in  the series using the In-Reply-To and References
       headers, so they will show up as a sequence in threaded mail and news readers, and in mail
       archives.

       To configure other defaults, add a section like this to your configuration file:

       [email]
       from = My Name <my@email>
       to = recipient1, recipient2, ...
       cc = cc1, cc2, ...
       bcc = bcc1, bcc2, ...
       reply-to = address1, address2, ...

       Use  [patchbomb]  as  configuration  section  name  if you need to override global [email]
       address settings.

       Then you can use the hg email command to mail a series of changesets as a patchbomb.

       You can also either configure the method option in the email  section  to  be  a  sendmail
       compatible  mailer  or  fill  out  the  [smtp] section so that the patchbomb extension can
       automatically send patchbombs directly from the commandline. See the  [email]  and  [smtp]
       sections in hgrc(5) for details.

       By  default,  hg  email will  prompt  for  a  To or CC header if you do not supply one via
       configuration or the command line.  You can override this to never prompt  by  configuring
       an empty value:

       [email]
       cc =

       You  can control the default inclusion of an introduction message with the patchbomb.intro
       configuration option. The configuration is always overwritten by command line  flags  like
       --intro and --desc:

       [patchbomb]
       intro=auto   # include introduction message if more than 1 patch (default)
       intro=never  # never include an introduction message
       intro=always # always include an introduction message

       You  can  specify a template for flags to be added in subject prefixes. Flags specified by
       --flag option are exported as {flags} keyword:

       [patchbomb]
       flagtemplate = "{separate(' ',
                                 ifeq(branch, 'default', '', branch|upper),
                                 flags)}"

       You can set patchbomb to always ask for confirmation by setting patchbomb.confirm to true.

   Change import/export
   email
       send changesets by email:

       hg email [OPTION]... [DEST]...

       By default, diffs are sent in the format generated by hg  export,  one  per  message.  The
       series starts with a "[PATCH 0 of N]" introduction, which describes the series as a whole.

       Each  patch  email has a Subject line of "[PATCH M of N] ...", using the first line of the
       changeset description as the subject text.  The  message  contains  two  or  three  parts.
       First, the changeset description.

       With the -d/--diffstat option, if the diffstat program is installed, the result of running
       diffstat on the patch is inserted.

       Finally, the patch itself, as generated by hg export.

       With the -d/--diffstat or --confirm options, you will be presented with a final summary of
       all messages and asked for confirmation before the messages are sent.

       By  default  the patch is included as text in the email body for easy reviewing. Using the
       -a/--attach option will instead create an attachment for the patch.  With  -i/--inline  an
       inline  attachment will be created. You can include a patch both as text in the email body
       and as a regular or an inline attachment by combining the -a/--attach or -i/--inline  with
       the --body option.

       With -B/--bookmark changesets reachable by the given bookmark are selected.

       With  -o/--outgoing,  emails  will  be  generated for patches not found in the destination
       repository (or only those which are ancestors  of  the  specified  revisions  if  any  are
       provided)

       With -b/--bundle, changesets are selected as for --outgoing, but a single email containing
       a binary Mercurial bundle as an attachment will  be  sent.  Use  the  patchbomb.bundletype
       config option to control the bundle type as with hg bundle --type.

       With  -m/--mbox,  instead  of  previewing each patchbomb message in a pager or sending the
       messages directly, it will create a UNIX mailbox file with the patch emails. This  mailbox
       file can be previewed with any mail user agent which supports UNIX mbox files.

       With  -n/--test,  all steps will run, but mail will not be sent.  You will be prompted for
       an email recipient address, a subject and an introductory message describing  the  patches
       of your patchbomb.  Then when all is done, patchbomb messages are displayed.

       In case email sending fails, you will find a backup of your series introductory message in
       .hg/last-email.txt.

       The default behavior of this command can be customized through configuration. (See hg help
       patchbomb for details)

       Examples:

       hg email -r 3000          # send patch 3000 only
       hg email -r 3000 -r 3001  # send patches 3000 and 3001
       hg email -r 3000:3005     # send patches 3000 through 3005
       hg email 3000             # send patch 3000 (deprecated)

       hg email -o               # send all patches not in default
       hg email -o DEST          # send all patches not in DEST
       hg email -o -r 3000       # send all ancestors of 3000 not in default
       hg email -o -r 3000 DEST  # send all ancestors of 3000 not in DEST

       hg email -B feature       # send all ancestors of feature bookmark

       hg email -b               # send bundle of all patches not in default
       hg email -b DEST          # send bundle of all patches not in DEST
       hg email -b -r 3000       # bundle of all ancestors of 3000 not in default
       hg email -b -r 3000 DEST  # bundle of all ancestors of 3000 not in DEST

       hg email -o -m mbox &&    # generate an mbox file...
         mutt -R -f mbox         # ... and view it with mutt
       hg email -o -m mbox &&    # generate an mbox file ...
         formail -s sendmail \   # ... and use formail to send from the mbox
           -bm -t < mbox         # ... using sendmail

       Before  using  this  command,  you will need to enable email in your hgrc. See the [email]
       section in hgrc(5) for details.

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   phabricator
       simple Phabricator integration (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This extension  provides  a  phabsend  command  which  sends  a  stack  of  changesets  to
       Phabricator, and a phabread command which prints a stack of revisions in a format suitable
       for hg import, and a phabupdate command to update statuses in batch.

       A "phabstatus" view for hg show is  also  provided;  it  displays  status  information  of
       Phabricator differentials associated with unfinished changesets.

       By  default,  Phabricator requires Test Plan which might prevent some changeset from being
       sent. The requirement could be disabled by  changing  differential.require-test-plan-field
       config server side.

       Config:

       [phabricator]
       # Phabricator URL
       url = https://phab.example.com/

       # Repo callsign. If a repo has a URL https://$HOST/diffusion/FOO, then its
       # callsign is "FOO".
       callsign = FOO

       # curl command to use. If not set (default), use builtin HTTP library to
       # communicate. If set, use the specified curl command. This could be useful
       # if you need to specify advanced options that is not easily supported by
       # the internal library.
       curlcmd = curl --connect-timeout 2 --retry 3 --silent

       # retry failed command N time (default 0). Useful when using the extension
       # over flakly connection.
       #
       # We wait `retry.interval` between each retry, in seconds.
       # (default 1 second).
       retry = 3
       retry.interval = 10

       # the retry option can combine well with the http.timeout one.
       #
       # For example to give up on http request after 20 seconds:
       [http]
       timeout=20

       [auth]
       example.schemes = https
       example.prefix = phab.example.com

       # API token. Get it from https://$HOST/conduit/login/
       example.phabtoken = cli-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

   Commands
   Change import/export
   phabimport
       import patches from Phabricator for the specified Differential Revisions:

       hg phabimport DREVSPEC... [OPTIONS]

       The patches are read and applied starting at the parent of the working directory.

       See hg help phabread for how to specify DREVSPEC.

       Options:

       --stack
              import dependencies as well

       --test-vcr <VALUE>
              Path  to  a  vcr  file. If nonexistent, will record a new vcr transcript, otherwise
              will mock all http requests using the specified vcr file. (ADVANCED)

   phabread
       print patches from Phabricator suitable for importing:

       hg phabread DREVSPEC... [OPTIONS]

       DREVSPEC could be a Differential Revision identity, like D123, or just the number 123.  It
       could also have common operators like +, -, &, (, ) for complex queries. Prefix : could be
       used to select a stack.  If multiple DREVSPEC values are given, the result is the union of
       each  individually evaluated value.  No attempt is currently made to reorder the values to
       run from parent to child.

       abandoned, accepted, closed, needsreview, needsrevision could be used to filter patches by
       status.  For performance reason, they only represent a subset of non-status selections and
       cannot be used alone.

       For example, :D6+8-(2+D4) selects a stack up to D6, plus D8 and exclude D2 and D4.  :D9  &
       needsreview selects "Needs Review" revisions in a stack up to D9.

       If  --stack  is  given,  follow  dependencies  information  and  read  all patches.  It is
       equivalent to the : operator.

       Options:

       --stack
              read dependencies

       --test-vcr <VALUE>
              Path to a vcr file. If nonexistent, will record a  new  vcr  transcript,  otherwise
              will mock all http requests using the specified vcr file. (ADVANCED)

   phabsend
       upload changesets to Phabricator:

       hg phabsend REV [OPTIONS]

       If  there  are  multiple  revisions  specified, they will be send as a stack with a linear
       dependencies relationship using the order specified by the revset.

       For the first time uploading changesets, local  tags  will  be  created  to  maintain  the
       association. After the first time, phabsend will check obsstore and tags information so it
       can figure out whether to update an existing Differential Revision, or create a new one.

       If --amend is set, update commit messages so they  have  the  Differential  Revision  URL,
       remove  related  tags.  This  is  similar to what arcanist will do, and is more desired in
       author-push workflows. Otherwise, use local  tags  to  record  the  Differential  Revision
       association.

       The  --confirm  option  lets  you confirm changesets before sending them. You can also add
       following to your configuration file to make it default behaviour:

       [phabsend]
       confirm = true

       By default, a separate review will be created for each commit that is selected,  and  will
       have  the  same  parent/child  relationship  in  Phabricator.   If --fold is set, multiple
       commits are rolled up into a single review as if diffed  from  the  parent  of  the  first
       revision  to  the  last.   The  commit  messages  are concatenated in the summary field on
       Phabricator.

       phabsend will check obsstore and the above association to  decide  whether  to  update  an
       existing Differential Revision, or create a new one.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV[+]>
              revisions to send

       --amend
              update commit messages (default: True)

       --reviewer <VALUE[+]>
              specify reviewers

       --blocker <VALUE[+]>
              specify blocking reviewers

       -m,--comment <VALUE>
              add a comment to Revisions with new/updated Diffs

       --confirm
              ask for confirmation before sending

       --fold combine the revisions into one review

       --test-vcr <VALUE>
              Path  to  a  vcr  file. If nonexistent, will record a new vcr transcript, otherwise
              will mock all http requests using the specified vcr file. (ADVANCED)

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   phabupdate
       update Differential Revision in batch:

       hg phabupdate [DREVSPEC...| -r REV...] [OPTIONS]

       DREVSPEC selects revisions. See hg help phabread for its usage.

       Options:

       --accept
              accept revisions

       --reject
              reject revisions

       --request-review
              request review on revisions

       --abandon
              abandon revisions

       --reclaim
              reclaim revisions

       --close
              close revisions

       --reopen
              reopen revisions

       --plan-changes
              plan changes for revisions

       --resign
              resign as a reviewer from revisions

       --commandeer
              commandeer revisions

       -m,--comment <VALUE>
              comment on the last revision

       -r,--rev <REV>
              local revision to update

       --test-vcr <VALUE>
              Path to a vcr file. If nonexistent, will record a  new  vcr  transcript,  otherwise
              will mock all http requests using the specified vcr file. (ADVANCED)

   Uncategorized commands
   purge
       command to delete untracked files from the working directory (DEPRECATED)

       The functionality of this extension has been included in core Mercurial since version 5.7.
       Please use hg purge ... instead.  hg  purge  --confirm is  now  the  default,  unless  the
       extension is enabled for backward compatibility.

   rebase
       command to move sets of revisions to a different ancestor

       This extension lets you rebase changesets in an existing Mercurial repository.

       For more information: https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RebaseExtension

   Commands
   Change manipulation
   rebase
       move changeset (and descendants) to a different branch:

       hg rebase [[-s REV]... | [-b REV]... | [-r REV]...] [-d REV] [OPTION]...

       Rebase  uses  repeated  merging  to graft changesets from one part of history (the source)
       onto another (the destination). This can be useful for linearizing local changes  relative
       to a master development tree.

       Published  commits  cannot  be rebased (see hg help phases).  To copy commits, see hg help
       graft.

       If you don't specify a destination changeset (-d/--dest), rebase will use the  same  logic
       as hg merge to pick a destination.  if the current branch contains exactly one other head,
       the other head is merged with by default.  Otherwise, an explicit revision with  which  to
       merge  with must be provided.  (destination changeset is not modified by rebasing, but new
       changesets are added as its descendants.)

       Here are the ways to select changesets:

          1. Explicitly select them using --rev.

          2. Use --source to select a root changeset and include all of its descendants.

          3. Use --base to select a changeset; rebase will find ancestors and  their  descendants
             which are not also ancestors of the destination.

          4. If you do not specify any of --rev, --source, or --base, rebase will use --base . as
             above.

       If --source or --rev is used, special  names  SRC  and  ALLSRC  can  be  used  in  --dest.
       Destination  would  be  calculated per source revision with SRC substituted by that single
       source revision and ALLSRC substituted by all source revisions.

       Rebase will destroy original changesets unless you use --keep.  It  will  also  move  your
       bookmarks (even if you do).

       Some  changesets  may  be  dropped if they do not contribute changes (e.g. merges from the
       destination branch).

       Unlike merge, rebase will do nothing if you are at the branch tip of a named  branch  with
       two heads. You will need to explicitly specify source and/or destination.

       If  you  need to use a tool to automate merge/conflict decisions, you can specify one with
       --tool, see hg help merge-tools.  As a caveat: the tool will not be used to mediate when a
       file was deleted, there is no hook presently available for this.

       If  a  rebase  is  interrupted  to  manually  resolve a conflict, it can be continued with
       --continue/-c, aborted with --abort/-a, or stopped with --stop.

       Examples:

       • move "local changes" (current commit back to branching point) to the current branch  tip
         after a pull:

         hg rebase

       • move a single changeset to the stable branch:

         hg rebase -r 5f493448 -d stable

       • splice a commit and all its descendants onto another part of history:

         hg rebase --source c0c3 --dest 4cf9

       • rebase everything on a branch marked by a bookmark onto the default branch:

         hg rebase --base myfeature --dest default

       • collapse a sequence of changes into a single commit:

         hg rebase --collapse -r 1520:1525 -d .

       • move a named branch while preserving its name:

         hg rebase -r "branch(featureX)" -d 1.3 --keepbranches

       • stabilize orphaned changesets so history looks linear:

         hg rebase -r 'orphan()-obsolete()' -d 'first(max((successors(max(roots(ALLSRC) & ::SRC)^)-obsolete())::) + max(::((roots(ALLSRC) & ::SRC)^)-obsolete()))'

       Configuration Options:

       You can make rebase require a destination if you set the following config option:

       [commands]
       rebase.requiredest = True

       By default, rebase will close the transaction after each commit. For performance purposes,
       you can configure rebase to use a single transaction across the  entire  rebase.  WARNING:
       This  setting  introduces a significant risk of losing the work you've done in a rebase if
       the rebase aborts unexpectedly:

       [rebase]
       singletransaction = True

       By default, rebase writes to the working copy, but you can configure it to  run  in-memory
       for  better  performance.  When the rebase is not moving the parent(s) of the working copy
       (AKA the "currently checked out changesets"), this may also allow it to run  even  if  the
       working copy is dirty:

       [rebase]
       experimental.inmemory = True

       Return Values:

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if nothing to rebase or there are unresolved conflicts.

       Options:

       -s,--source <REV[+]>
              rebase the specified changesets and their descendants

       -b,--base <REV[+]>

   record
       commands to interactively select changes for commit/qrefresh (DEPRECATED)

       The  feature  provided  by  this extension has been moved into core Mercurial as hg commit
       --interactive.

   Commands
   Change creation
   qrecord
       interactively record a new patch:

       hg qrecord [OPTION]... PATCH [FILE]...

       See hg help qnew & hg help record for more information and usage.

   record
       interactively select changes to commit:

       hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by hg status will  be  candidates  for
       recording.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       If  using  the  text  interface  (see hg help config), you will be prompted for whether to
       record changes to each modified file, and for files with multiple changes, for each change
       to use. For each query, the following responses are possible:

       y - record this change
       n - skip this change
       e - edit this change manually

       s - skip remaining changes to this file
       f - record remaining changes to this file

       d - done, skip remaining changes and files
       a - record all changes to all remaining files
       q - quit, recording no changes

       ? - display help

   releasenotes
       generate release notes from commit messages (EXPERIMENTAL)

       It  is  common  to  maintain  files  detailing  changes  in  a  project  between releases.
       Maintaining these files can be difficult and time consuming.  The hg  releasenotes command
       provided by this extension makes the process simpler by automating it.

   Commands
   Change navigation
   releasenotes
       parse release notes from commit messages into an output file:

       hg releasenotes [-r REV] [-c] FILE

       Given  an  output  file  and set of revisions, this command will parse commit messages for
       release notes then add them to the output file.

       Release notes are defined in commit messages as ReStructuredText  directives.  These  have
       the form:

       .. directive:: title

          content

       Each  directive  maps to an output section in a generated release notes file, which itself
       is ReStructuredText. For example, the .. feature:: directive would map to a  New  Features
       section.

       Release  note  directives  can be either short-form or long-form. In short- form, title is
       omitted and the release note is rendered as a bullet list. In  long  form,  a  sub-section
       with the title title is added to the section.

       The  FILE argument controls the output file to write gathered release notes to. The format
       of the file is:

       Section 1
       =========

       ...

       Section 2
       =========

       ...

       Only sections with defined release notes are emitted.

       If a section only has short-form notes, it will consist of bullet list:

       Section
       =======

       * Release note 1
       * Release note 2

       If a section has long-form notes, sub-sections will be emitted:

       Section
       =======

       Note 1 Title
       ------------

       Description of the first long-form note.

       Note 2 Title
       ------------

       Description of the second long-form note.

       If the FILE argument points to an existing file, that file  will  be  parsed  for  release
       notes  having  the  format  that  would  be  generated by this command. The notes from the
       processed commit messages will be merged into this parsed set.

       During release notes merging:

       • Duplicate items are automatically ignored

       • Items that are different are automatically ignored if the similarity is greater  than  a
         threshold.

       This  means that the release notes file can be updated independently from this command and
       changes should not be lost when running this command on that file. A particular  use  case
       for  this is to tweak the wording of a release note after it has been added to the release
       notes file.

       The -c/--check option checks the commit message for invalid admonitions.

       The -l/--list option, presents the user with a  list  of  existing  available  admonitions
       along with their title. This also includes the custom admonitions (if any).

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revisions to process for release notes

       -c, --check
              checks for validity of admonitions (if any)

       -l, --list
              list the available admonitions with their title

   relink
       recreates hardlinks between repository clones

   Commands
   Repository maintenance
   relink
       recreate hardlinks between two repositories:

       hg relink [ORIGIN]

       When  repositories  are  cloned  locally, their data files will be hardlinked so that they
       only use the space of a single repository.

       Unfortunately, subsequent pulls into either repository will break hardlinks for any  files
       touched by the new changesets, even if both repositories end up pulling the same changes.

       Similarly,  passing  --rev to "hg clone" will fail to use any hardlinks, falling back to a
       complete copy of the source repository.

       This command lets you recreate those hardlinks and reclaim that wasted space.

       This repository will be relinked to share space with ORIGIN, which must  be  on  the  same
       local disk. If ORIGIN is omitted, looks for "default-relink", then "default", in [paths].

       Do  not attempt any read operations on this repository while the command is running. (Both
       repositories will be locked against writes.)

   remotefilelog
       remotefilelog causes Mercurial to lazilly fetch file contents (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This extension is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. There are NO  BACKWARDS  COMPATIBILITY  GUARANTEES.
       This means that repositories created with this extension may only be usable with the exact
       version of this extension/Mercurial that was used. The extension attempts to enforce  this
       in order to prevent repository corruption.

       remotefilelog  works  by  fetching file contents lazily and storing them in a cache on the
       client rather than in revlogs. This allows  enormous  histories  to  be  transferred  only
       partially, making them easier to operate on.

       Configs:

          packs.maxchainlen specifies the maximum delta chain length in pack files

          packs.maxpacksize specifies the maximum pack file size

          packs.maxpackfilecount specifies the maximum number of packs in the

                 shared cache (trees only for now)

          remotefilelog.backgroundprefetch runs prefetch in background when True

          remotefilelog.bgprefetchrevs specifies revisions to fetch on commit and

                 update, and on other commands that use them. Different from pullprefetch.

          remotefilelog.gcrepack does garbage collection during repack when True

          remotefilelog.nodettl specifies maximum TTL of a node in seconds before

                 it is garbage collected

                 days after which it is no longer prefetched.

          remotefilelog.prefetchdelay specifies delay between background

                 prefetches in seconds after operations that change the working copy parent

          remotefilelog.data.gencountlimit constraints the minimum number of data

                 minimum number of packs files > gencountlimit.

          remotefilelog.data.generations list for specifying the lower bound of

                 each generation of the data pack files. For  example,  list  ['100MB','1MB']  or
                 ['1MB',  '100MB']  will  lead  to three generations: [0, 1MB), [ 1MB, 100MB) and
                 [100MB, infinity).

          remotefilelog.data.maxrepackpacks the maximum number of pack files to

                 include in an incremental data repack.

          remotefilelog.data.repackmaxpacksize the maximum size of a pack file for

                 it to be considered for an incremental data repack.

                 to include in an incremental data repack.

          remotefilelog.history.gencountlimit constraints the minimum number of

                 history  pack  files  required  to  be  considered  part  of  a  generation.  In
                 particular, minimum number of packs files > gencountlimit.

          remotefilelog.history.generations list for specifying the lower bound of

                 each  generation  of the history pack files. For example, list [ '100MB', '1MB']
                 or ['1MB', '100MB'] will lead to three generations: [ 0, 1MB), [1MB, 100MB)  and
                 [100MB, infinity).

          remotefilelog.history.maxrepackpacks the maximum number of pack files to

                 include in an incremental history repack.

          remotefilelog.history.repackmaxpacksize the maximum size of a pack file

   prefetch
       prefetch file revisions from the server:

       hg prefetch [OPTIONS] [FILE...]

       Prefetchs file revisions for the specified revs and stores them in the local remotefilelog
       cache.  If no rev is specified, the default rev is used which is the union of dot,  draft,
       pullprefetch  and  bgprefetchrev.  File names or patterns can be used to limit which files
       are downloaded.

   remotenames
          showing remotebookmarks and remotebranches in UI (EXPERIMENTAL)

       By default both remotebookmarks and remotebranches are turned on. Config knob  to  control
       the individually are as follows.

       Config options to tweak the default behaviour:

       remotenames.bookmarks
              Boolean value to enable or disable showing of remotebookmarks (default: True)

       remotenames.branches
              Boolean value to enable or disable showing of remotebranches (default: True)

       remotenames.hoistedpeer
              Name  of  the  peer  whose  remotebookmarks  should  be  hoisted into the top-level
              namespace (default: 'default')

   schemes
       extend schemes with shortcuts to repository swarms

       This extension allows you to specify shortcuts for parent URLs with a lot of  repositories
       to act like a scheme, for example:

       [schemes]
       py = http://code.python.org/hg/

       After that you can use it like:

       hg clone py://trunk/

       Additionally  there  is  support for some more complex schemas, for example used by Google
       Code:

       [schemes]
       gcode = http://{1}.googlecode.com/hg/

       The syntax is taken from Mercurial templates, and you have unlimited number of  variables,
       starting  with  {1}  and  continuing  with {2}, {3} and so on. This variables will receive
       parts of URL supplied, split by /. Anything not specified as {part} will be just  appended
       to an URL.

       For convenience, the extension adds these schemes by default:

       [schemes]
       py = http://hg.python.org/
       bb = https://bitbucket.org/
       bb+ssh = ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/
       gcode = https://{1}.googlecode.com/hg/
       kiln = https://{1}.kilnhg.com/Repo/

       You can override a predefined scheme by defining a new scheme with the same name.

   Commands
   Uncategorized commands
   share
       share a common history between several working directories

       The  share  extension introduces a new command hg share to create a new working directory.
       This is similar to hg clone, but doesn't involve copying or linking  the  storage  of  the
       repository.  This  allows working on different branches or changes in parallel without the
       associated cost in terms of disk space.

       Note: destructive operations or extensions like hg rollback should be used  with  care  as
       they can result in confusing problems.

   Automatic Pooled Storage for Clones
       When  this  extension  is  active,  hg clone can be configured to automatically share/pool
       storage across multiple clones. This mode effectively converts hg clone to hg  clone +  hg
       share.   The  benefit  of  using  this mode is the automatic management of store paths and
       intelligent pooling of related repositories.

       The following share. config options influence this feature:

       share.pool

              Filesystem path where shared repository data will be stored. When defined, hg clone
              will automatically use shared repository storage instead of creating a store inside
              each clone.

       share.poolnaming

              How directory names in share.pool are constructed.

              "identity" means the name is derived from the first changeset in the repository. In
              this  mode,  different  remotes  share  storage  if their root/initial changeset is
              identical. In this mode, the  local  shared  repository  is  an  aggregate  of  all
              encountered remote repositories.

              "remote"  means  the  name  is derived from the source repository's path or URL. In
              this mode, storage is only shared if the path or URL  requested  in  the  hg  clone
              command matches exactly to a repository that was cloned before.

              The default naming mode is "identity".

       Sharing requirements and configs of source repository with shares:

       By default creating a shared repository only enables sharing a common history and does not
       share requirements and configs between them. This may lead to problems in some cases,  for
       example  when  you upgrade the storage format from one repository but does not set related
       configs in the shares.

       Setting format.exp-share-safe = True enables sharing configs and requirements.  This  only
       applies to shares which are done after enabling the config option.

       For enabling this in existing shares, enable the config option and reshare.

       For  resharing existing shares, make sure your working directory is clean and there are no
       untracked files, delete that share and create a new share.

   Commands
   Repository creation
   share
       create a new shared repository:

       hg share [-U] [-B] SOURCE [DEST]

       Initialize a new repository and working directory that shares its history (and  optionally
       bookmarks) with another repository.

       Note   using  rollback  or  extensions  that destroy/modify history (mq, rebase, etc.) can
              cause considerable confusion with shared  clones.  In  particular,  if  two  shared
              clones  are  both  updated  to  the  same  changeset, and one of them destroys that
              changeset with rollback, the other clone will suddenly stop working: all operations
              will  fail  with  "abort:  working  directory  has  unknown parent". The only known
              workaround is to use debugsetparents on the broken clone to reset it to a changeset
              that still exists.

       Options:

       -U, --noupdate
              do not create a working directory

       -B, --bookmarks
              also share bookmarks

       --relative
              point to source using a relative path

   Repository maintenance
   unshare
       convert a shared repository to a normal one:

       hg unshare

       Copy the store data to the repo and remove the sharedpath data.

   show
       unified command to show various repository information (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This  extension  provides  the  hg  show command,  which  provides  a  central command for
       displaying commonly-accessed repository data and views of that data.

       The following config options can influence operation.

   commands
       show.aliasprefix

              List of strings that will register aliases for views. e.g. s will  effectively  set
              config  options  alias.s<view>  =  show  <view>  for all views. i.e. hg swork would
              execute hg show work.

              Aliases that would conflict with existing registrations will not be performed.

   Commands
   Change navigation
   show
       show various repository information:

       hg show VIEW

       A requested view of repository data is displayed.

       If no view is requested, the list of available views is shown and the command aborts.

       Note   There are no backwards compatibility guarantees for the  output  of  this  command.
              Output may change in any future Mercurial release.

              Consumers   wanting   stable   command   output   should  specify  a  template  via
              -T/--template.

       List of available views:

       bookmarks   bookmarks and their associated changeset

       stack       current line of work

       work        changesets that aren't finished

       Options:

       -T,--template <TEMPLATE>
              display with template

   sparse
       allow sparse checkouts of the working directory (EXPERIMENTAL)

       (This extension is not yet protected by backwards compatibility guarantees. Any aspect may
       break in future releases until this notice is removed.)

       This  extension  allows the working directory to only consist of a subset of files for the
       revision. This allows specific files or directories to be explicitly included or excluded.
       Many  repository  operations  have  performance proportional to the number of files in the
       working directory. So only realizing a subset  of  files  in  the  working  directory  can
       improve performance.

   Sparse Config Files
       The  set  of files that are part of a sparse checkout are defined by a sparse config file.
       The file defines 3 things: includes (files to include in the  sparse  checkout),  excludes
       (files to exclude from the sparse checkout), and profiles (links to other config files).

       The file format is newline delimited. Empty lines and lines beginning with # are ignored.

       Lines  beginning  with  %include  ``  denote  another  sparse config file to include. e.g.
       ``%include tests.sparse. The filename is relative to the repository root.

       The special lines [include] and [exclude] denote the section  for  includes  and  excludes
       that follow, respectively. It is illegal to have [include] after [exclude].

       Non-special  lines  resemble file patterns to be added to either includes or excludes. The
       syntax of these lines is documented by hg help  patterns.   Patterns  are  interpreted  as
       glob: by default and match against the root of the repository.

       Exclusion  patterns  take  precedence  over  inclusion  patterns.  So  even  if  a file is
       explicitly included, an [exclude] entry can remove it.

       For example, say you have a  repository  with  3  directories,  frontend/,  backend/,  and
       tools/.  frontend/  and  backend/  correspond to different projects and it is uncommon for
       someone working on one to need the files for the other. But tools/ contains  files  shared
       between both projects. Your sparse config files may resemble:

       # frontend.sparse
       frontend/**
       tools/**

       # backend.sparse
       backend/**
       tools/**

       Say  the backend grows in size. Or there's a directory with thousands of files you wish to
       exclude. You can modify the profile to exclude certain files:

       [include]
       backend/**
       tools/**

       [exclude]
       tools/tests/**

   Commands
   Uncategorized commands
   split
       command to split a changeset into smaller ones (EXPERIMENTAL)

   Commands
   Change manipulation
   split
       split a changeset into smaller ones:

       hg split [--no-rebase] [[-r] REV]

       Repeatedly prompt changes and commit message for new changesets  until  there  is  nothing
       left in the original changeset.

       If --rev was not given, split the working directory parent.

       By  default,  rebase  connected  non-obsoleted  descendants  onto  the  new changeset. Use
       --no-rebase to avoid the rebase.

       Options:

       -r,--rev <REV>
              revision to split

       --rebase
              rebase descendants after split (default: True)

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

   sqlitestore
       store repository data in SQLite (EXPERIMENTAL)

       The sqlitestore extension enables the storage of repository data in SQLite.

       This extension is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. There are NO  BACKWARDS  COMPATIBILITY  GUARANTEES.
       This means that repositories created with this extension may only be usable with the exact
       version of this extension/Mercurial that was used. The extension attempts to enforce  this
       in order to prevent repository corruption.

       In addition, several features are not yet supported or have known bugs:

       • Only  some  data  is stored in SQLite. Changeset, manifest, and other repository data is
         not yet stored in SQLite.

       • Transactions are not robust. If  the  process  is  aborted  at  the  right  time  during
         transaction  close/rollback,  the  repository  could  be  in an inconsistent state. This
         problem will diminish once all repository data is tracked by SQLite.

       • Bundle repositories do not work (the ability to use e.g.  hg  -R  <bundle-file>  log  to
         automatically overlay a bundle on top of the existing repository).

       • Various other features don't work.

       This  extension  should  work  for  basic  clone/pull, update, and commit workflows.  Some
       history rewriting operations may fail due to lack of support for bundle repositories.

       To use, activate the extension and  set  the  storage.new-repo-backend  config  option  to
       sqlite to enable new repositories to use SQLite for storage.

   strip
       strip changesets and their descendants from history (DEPRECATED)

       The functionality of this extension has been included in core Mercurial since version 5.7.
       Please use hg debugstrip ... instead.

       This extension allows  you  to  strip  changesets  and  all  their  descendants  from  the
       repository. See the command help for details.

   transplant
       command to transplant changesets from another branch

       This  extension  allows  you to transplant changes to another parent revision, possibly in
       another repository. The transplant is done using 'diff' patches.

       Transplanted patches are recorded in .hg/transplant/transplants, as a map from a changeset
       hash to its hash in the source repository.

   Commands
   Change manipulation
   transplant
       transplant changesets from another branch:

       hg transplant [-s REPO] [-b BRANCH [-a]] [-p REV] [-m REV] [REV]...

       Selected  changesets  will be applied on top of the current working directory with the log
       of the original changeset. The changesets are copied and will thus  appear  twice  in  the
       history with different identities.

       Consider using the graft command if everything is inside the same repository - it will use
       merges and will usually give a better result.  Use the rebase extension if the  changesets
       are unpublished and you want to move them instead of copying them.

       If --log is specified, log messages will have a comment appended of the form:

       (transplanted from CHANGESETHASH)

       You  can  rewrite  the  changelog  message with the --filter option.  Its argument will be
       invoked with the current changelog message as $1 and the patch as $2.

       --source/-s specifies another repository to use for selecting changesets, just  as  if  it
       temporarily had been pulled.  If --branch/-b is specified, these revisions will be used as
       heads when deciding which changesets to transplant, just as if only  these  revisions  had
       been  pulled.   If --all/-a is specified, all the revisions up to the heads specified with
       --branch will be transplanted.

       Example:

       • transplant all changes up to REV on top of your current revision:

         hg transplant --branch REV --all

       You can optionally mark selected transplanted changesets as merge changesets. You will not
       be  prompted  to  transplant  any  ancestors  of  a  merged  transplant, and you can merge
       descendants of them normally instead of transplanting them.

       Merge changesets may be transplanted directly by specifying the proper parent changeset by
       calling hg transplant --parent.

       If  no merges or revisions are provided, hg transplant will start an interactive changeset
       browser.

       If a changeset application fails, you can fix the merge by hand and then resume where  you
       left off by calling hg transplant --continue/-c.

       Options:

       -s,--source <REPO>
              transplant changesets from REPO

       -b,--branch <REV[+]>
              use this source changeset as head

       -a, --all
              pull all changesets up to the --branch revisions

       -p,--prune <REV[+]>
              skip over REV

       -m,--merge <REV[+]>
              merge at REV

       --parent <REV>
              parent to choose when transplanting merge

       -e, --edit
              invoke editor on commit messages

       --log  append transplant info to log message

       --stop stop interrupted transplant

       -c, --continue
              continue last transplant session after fixing conflicts

       --filter <CMD>
              filter changesets through command

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   uncommit
       uncommit part or all of a local changeset (EXPERIMENTAL)

       This  command  undoes  the effect of a local commit, returning the affected files to their
       uncommitted state. This means that files modified, added or removed in the changeset  will
       be  left  unchanged,  and  so  will  remain  modified,  added  and  removed in the working
       directory.

   Commands
   Change manipulation
   unamend
       undo the most recent amend operation on a current changeset:

       hg unamend

       This command will roll back to the  previous  version  of  a  changeset,  leaving  working
       directory in state in which it was before running hg amend (e.g. files modified as part of
       an amend will be marked as modified hg status)

   uncommit
       uncommit part or all of a local changeset:

       hg uncommit [OPTION]... [FILE]...

       This command undoes the effect of a local commit, returning the affected  files  to  their
       uncommitted state. This means that files modified or deleted in the changeset will be left
       unchanged, and so will remain modified in the working directory.

       If no files are specified, the commit will be pruned, unless --keep is given.

       Options:

       --keep allow an empty commit after uncommitting

       --allow-dirty-working-copy
              allow uncommit with outstanding changes

       -n,--note <TEXT>
              store a note on uncommit

       -I,--include <PATTERN[+]>
              include names matching the given patterns

       -X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>
              exclude names matching the given patterns

       -m,--message <TEXT>
              use text as commit message

       -l,--logfile <FILE>
              read commit message from file

       -d,--date <DATE>
              record the specified date as commit date

       -u,--user <USER>
              record the specified user as committer

       -D, --currentdate
              record the current date as commit date

       -U, --currentuser
              record the current user as committer

       [+] marked option can be specified multiple times

   win32mbcs
       allow the use of MBCS paths with problematic encodings

       Some MBCS encodings are not good for some path  operations  (i.e.   splitting  path,  case
       conversion,  etc.)  with  its  encoded  bytes. We call such a encoding (i.e. shift_jis and
       big5) as "problematic encoding".  This extension can be used to fix the issue  with  those
       encodings by wrapping some functions to convert to Unicode string before path operation.

       This extension is useful for:

       • Japanese Windows users using shift_jis encoding.

       • Chinese Windows users using big5 encoding.

       • All  users  who  use  a repository with one of problematic encodings on case-insensitive
         file system.

       This extension is not needed for:

       • Any user who use only ASCII chars in path.

       • Any user who do not use any of problematic encodings.

       Note that there are some limitations on using this extension:

       • You should use single encoding in one repository.

       • If the repository path ends with 0x5c, .hg/hgrc cannot be read.

       • win32mbcs is not compatible with fixutf8 extension.

       By default, win32mbcs uses encoding.encoding decided by Mercurial.  You  can  specify  the
       encoding by config option:

       [win32mbcs]
       encoding = sjis

       It is useful for the users who want to commit with UTF-8 log message.

   win32text
       perform automatic newline conversion (DEPRECATED)

          Deprecation:  The  win32text  extension  requires  each user to configure the extension
          again and again for each clone since the configuration is not copied when cloning.

          We have therefore made the eol as an alternative. The eol  uses  a  version  controlled
          file  for  its  configuration and each clone will therefore use the right settings from
          the start.

       To perform automatic newline conversion, use:

       [extensions]
       win32text =
       [encode]
       ** = cleverencode:
       # or ** = macencode:

       [decode]
       ** = cleverdecode:
       # or ** = macdecode:

       If not doing conversion, to make sure you do not commit CRLF/CR by accident:

       [hooks]
       pretxncommit.crlf = python:hgext.win32text.forbidcrlf
       # or pretxncommit.cr = python:hgext.win32text.forbidcr

       To do the same check on a server to prevent CRLF/CR from being pushed or pulled:

       [hooks]
       pretxnchangegroup.crlf = python:hgext.win32text.forbidcrlf
       # or pretxnchangegroup.cr = python:hgext.win32text.forbidcr

   zeroconf
       discover and advertise repositories on the local network

       The zeroconf extension will advertise hg serve instances over DNS-SD so that they  can  be
       discovered using the hg paths command without knowing the server's IP address.

       To allow other people to discover your repository using run hg serve in your repository:

       $ cd test
       $ hg serve

       You can discover Zeroconf-enabled repositories by running hg paths:

       $ hg paths
       zc-test = http://example.com:8000/test

FILES

       /etc/mercurial/hgrc, $HOME/.hgrc, .hg/hgrc

              This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in .hg/hgrc override those in
              $HOME/.hgrc, and these override settings made  in  the  global  /etc/mercurial/hgrc
              configuration.  See hgrc(5) for details of the contents and format of these files.

       .hgignore

              This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file names that
              should be ignored by hg. For details, see hgignore(5).

       .hgsub

              This file defines the  locations  of  all  subrepositories,  and  tells  where  the
              subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see hg help subrepos.

       .hgsubstate

              This  file  is  where  Mercurial stores all nested repository states. NB: This file
              should not be edited manually.

       .hgtags

              This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each  separated
              by  spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository contents. The file
              content is encoded using UTF-8.

       .hg/last-message.txt

              This file is used by hg commit to store a backup of the commit message in case  the
              commit fails.

       .hg/localtags

              This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among repositories.
              The file format is the same as for .hgtags, but  it  is  encoded  using  the  local
              system encoding.

       Some  commands  (e.g.  revert)  produce  backup  files  ending in .orig, if the .orig file
       already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it will be overwritten.

BUGS

       Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources below)  when  you  find
       them.
