NAME

        aegis new branch undo - remove a branch

SYNOPSIS

        aegis -New_BRanch_Undo number [ option...  ]
        aegis -New_BRanch_Undo -Help

DESCRIPTION

        The aegis -New_BRanch_Undo command is used to remove a branch created with the aenbr(1) command.

        Note: This command will completely remove all trace of the branch from Aegis' database.  This includes
        all changes performed on the branch and all of its sub-branches.  (This history remains in the history
        files, but is inaccessible.)

        If you wish to finish development of a branch, and commit all of its changes to the parent branch, use
        the aede(1) command, instead.

        If you wish to stop anyone from developing more changes on the branch, use the aerd(1) command to remove
        all the developers.

OPTIONS

        The following options are understood:

        -Change number
                This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project.  See aegis(1) for a
                complete description of this option.

        -Help
                This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegis program.

        -Keep
                This option may be used to retain files and/or directories usually deleted or replaced by the
                command.  Defaults to the user's delete_file_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for
                more information.

        -No_Keep
                This option may be used to ensure that the files and/or directories are deleted or replaced by
                the command.  Defaults to the user's delete_file_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for
                more information.

        -Project name
                This option may be used to select the project of interest.  When no -Project option is
                specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT environment variable is consulted.  If that does not exist, the
                user's $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default project field (see aeuconf(5) for more
                information).  If that does not exist, when the user is only working on changes within a single
                project, the project name defaults to that project.  Otherwise, it is an error.

        -Wait   This option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access locks, if they cannot be
                obtained immediately.  Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference if not specified, see
                aeuconf(5) for more information.

        -No_Wait
                This option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error if access locks cannot
                be obtained immediately.  Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference if not specified, see
                aeuconf(5) for more information.

        See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.

        All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case
        letters and underscores (_) are optional.  You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

        All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of
        both, case is not important.

        For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the -Project option.
        The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.

        Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the
        function selectors.

        The GNU long option names are understood.  Since all option names for aegis are long, this means
        ignoring the extra leading '-'.  The "--option=value" convention is also understood.

EXIT STATUS

        The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The aegis command will only exit with a
        status of 0 if there are no errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

        See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command.  See aepconf(5) for the
        project configuration file's project_specific field for how to set environment variables for all
        commands executed by Aegis.
