NAME

       mercurial-importorig - Import upstream source code tarballs into .deb package Mercurial repository.

SYNOPSIS

       mercurial-importorig [option] ... tarball [tarball] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Import upstream source tarballs into a Mercurial repository.  The first tarball must be the main tarball,
       see dpkg-source(1).  The upstream sources are incorporated into the upstream branch, and merged into  the
       default  branch.   It  is possible to use mercurial-importorig multiple times to import several versions,
       but the versions must be imported sequentially starting with the earliest version.

       For dpkg-source(1) format 3.0 (quilt), all patches are removed before the import, and you  must  manually
       reapply  and  refresh  the  patches.  Finally you must commit the fully patched source, including the .pc
       directory.

OPTIONS

       --version, -V

              Output version and exit.

       --verbose, -v

              Increase verbosity level.  Can be used several times.

       --no-merge, -n

              Do not merge imported upstream source into the default branch.  A manual hg  merge  upstream  will
              then have to be done at a later stage.  Remember to unapply all patches before the merge.

EXAMPLES

       mercurial-importorig ../mypack_1.2.orig.tar.bz2 ../mypack_1.2.orig-plugin.tar.gz

              Import  upstream  source  from  two  tarballs  into the repository in the current directory, which
              requires the package to be in dpkg source package format 3.0 (quilt), see  dpkg-source(1).   After
              the import, both the upstream and default branch will have the tag mypack_1.2.
