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.
