NAME

       hg rollback - roll back the last transaction (DANGEROUS) (DEPRECATED)

SYNOPSIS

       hg rollback

DESCRIPTION

       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

                                                                                     HG(ROLLBACK)
