Turns out the issue here was that I was using the URL for the repository displayed on my Bitbucket repository’s page, which includes the username in front of the bitbucket domain name, so it ended up looking like https://myusername@bitbucket.org/myusername/myrepo. Apparently, when the username is provided in this way, it ignores what’s in the [auth] section. … Read more
Some excerpts from Mercurial in daily use (Mercurial: the definitive guide) (copying here because there seems to be no way to give a convinient link to the end of the page): The default output of the hg diff command is backwards compatible with the regular diff command, but this has some drawbacks. The output of … Read more
This post has a nice explanation: The answer lies in rebasing. Rebasing is a technique made popular by git where you rewrite your not-yet-pushed patches so that they apply against the current remote tip, rather than against the tip of the repository you happened to last pull. The benefit is that your merge history shows … Read more
You can show the local revision number of the working copy’s current parent using: hg identify –num Note that this outputs a + suffix when there are local changes. Add an -r . option to avoid this. You can use the -r option to get the local revision number for other revisions too. For example, … Read more
If the files you want to omit from the “hg commit” command are already “tracked”, you should use the -X option. The pattern passed to -X is pretty flexible, making it possible to run for example: % hg stat A etc/foo.conf M src/bar.c M lib/libbar/loader.c % hg commit -X ‘**.conf’ to avoid committing any file … Read more
From the Mercurial shelve documentation (or using hg help shelve): To delete specific shelved changes, use “–delete”. To delete all shelved changes, use “–cleanup”. options: -d –delete delete the named shelved change(s) So if your patch was called my-patch, then you would delete it using: hg shelve -d my-patch
Yeah. Use the convert extension to move projectA down one directory level: hg convert –filemap filemap.txt projectA projectA-redone where your filemap.txt has this line in it: rename . projectA (that dot might be a slash but I don’t think so). That will give you a new repo, projectA-redone, that has all the history of A … Read more
hg rollback reverts the last transaction, so you’d be left with unfinished merge, which you have to use hg update -C to get out. If you don’t want *b (you have it in another clone), then enable the built-in MQ extension and run hg strip -r <*b>. It will get rid of *b and *merge. … Read more
This command tells to use -r / –rev switch: hg help clone So : hg clone -r 7
Check out this mercurial tip. To cite the link – if you have accidentally added a file, the way to undo that (changing its status from A back to ?, or unknown) is hg revert. For example, if you just ran hg add and realized that you do not want files foo or bar to … Read more
