NAME

       mercurial-importdsc - Import exiting package into Mercurial repository.

SYNOPSIS

       mercurial-importdsc [option] ... dscfile

DESCRIPTION

       Import  an  existing  source  package  into  a  Mercurial repository.  The diffs and upstream sources are
       extracted from the contents of the .dsc file.  mercurial-importorig(1) is called to import  the  upstream
       source  into the upstream branch, which is then merged into the default branch, and the diffs are applied
       to the default branch.  It is possible to  use  mercurial-importdsc  multiple  times  to  import  several
       versions, but the versions must be imported sequentially starting with the earliest version.

OPTIONS

       --version, -V

              Output version and exit.

       --verbose, -v

              Increase verbosity level.  Can be used several times.

EXAMPLES

       mercurial-importdsc ../mypack_1.2-3.dsc

              Import  package  mypack  version  1.2-3  into  the repository in the current directory.  After the
              import, the repository will have the tags mypack_1.2 and mypack_1.2-3.
