+ Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
+ extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
+ existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
+ implement hooks.
+
+ Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
+ they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
+ usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
+ as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
+ for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
+ Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
+ needed.
+
+ To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in
+ the Python search path, create an entry for it in your hgrc, like
+ this::
+
+ [extensions]
+ foo =
+
+ You may also specify the full path to an extension::
+
+ [extensions]
+ myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
+
+ To explicitly disable an extension enabled in an hgrc of broader
+ scope, prepend its path with !::
+
+ [extensions]
+ # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
+ hgext.bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
+ # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
+ hgext.baz = !

+ Some commands allow the user to specify a date, e.g.:
+
+ - backout, commit, import, tag: Specify the commit date.
+ - log, revert, update: Select revision(s) by date.
+
+ Many date formats are valid. Here are some examples::
+
+ "Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006" (local timezone assumed)
+ "Dec 6 13:18 -0600" (year assumed, time offset provided)
+ "Dec 6 13:18 UTC" (UTC and GMT are aliases for +0000)
+ "Dec 6" (midnight)
+ "13:18" (today assumed)
+ "3:39" (3:39AM assumed)
+ "3:39pm" (15:39)
+ "2006-12-06 13:18:29" (ISO 8601 format)
+ "2006-12-6 13:18"
+ "2006-12-6"
+ "12-6"
+ "12/6"
+ "12/6/6" (Dec 6 2006)
+
+ Lastly, there is Mercurial's internal format::
+
+ "1165432709 0" (Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 UTC)
+
+ This is the internal representation format for dates. unixtime is
+ the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC).
+ offset is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC
+ (negative if the timezone is east of UTC).
+
+ The log command also accepts date ranges::
+
+ "<{datetime}" - at or before a given date/time
+ ">{datetime}" - on or after a given date/time
+ "{datetime} to {datetime}" - a date range, inclusive
+ "-{days}" - within a given number of days of today
+ ''')),
+
+ (["patterns"], _("File Name Patterns"),
+ _(r'''
+ Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more
+ files at a time.
+
+ By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended
+ glob patterns.
+
+ Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
+
+ To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start it
+ with "path:". These path names must completely match starting at
+ the current repository root.
+
+ To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:". Globs are
+ rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "``*.c``" will
+ only match files in the current directory ending with ".c".
+
+ The supported glob syntax extensions are "``**``" to match any
+ string across path separators and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b".
+
+ To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:".
+ Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.
+
+ Plain examples::
+
+ path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root
+ of the repository
+ path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"
+
+ Glob examples::
+
+ glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
+ *.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
+ **.c any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of the
+ current directory including itself.
+ foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
+ foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of foo
+ including itself.
+
+ Regexp examples::
+
+ re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository
+
+ ''')),

+ (['environment', 'env'], _('Environment Variables'),
+ _(r'''
+HG
+ Path to the 'hg' executable, automatically passed when running
+ hooks, extensions or external tools. If unset or empty, this is
+ the hg executable's name if it's frozen, or an executable named
+ 'hg' (with %PATHEXT% [defaulting to COM/EXE/BAT/CMD] extensions on
+ Windows) is searched.
+
+HGEDITOR
+ This is the name of the editor to run when committing. See EDITOR.
+
+ (deprecated, use .hgrc)
+
+HGENCODING
+ This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial.
+ This setting is used to convert data including usernames,
+ changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can
+ be overridden with the --encoding command-line option.
+
+HGENCODINGMODE
+ This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters
+ while transcoding user input. The default is "strict", which
+ causes Mercurial to abort if it can't map a character. Other
+ settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and
+ "ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with
+ the --encodingmode command-line option.
+
+HGMERGE
+ An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program
+ will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file,
+ ancestor file.
+
+ (deprecated, use .hgrc)
+
+HGRCPATH
+ A list of files or directories to search for hgrc files. Item
+ separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH is not set,
+ platform default search path is used. If empty, only the .hg/hgrc
+ from the current repository is read.
+
+ For each element in HGRCPATH:
+
+ - if it's a directory, all files ending with .rc are added
+ - otherwise, the file itself will be added
+
+HGUSER
+ This is the string used as the author of a commit. If not set,
+ available values will be considered in this order:
+
+ - HGUSER (deprecated)
+ - hgrc files from the HGRCPATH
+ - EMAIL
+ - interactive prompt
+ - LOGNAME (with '@hostname' appended)
+
+ (deprecated, use .hgrc)
+
+EMAIL
+ May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.
+
+LOGNAME
+ May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER.
+
+VISUAL
+ This is the name of the editor to use when committing. See EDITOR.
+
+EDITOR
+ Sometimes Mercurial needs to open a text file in an editor for a
+ user to modify, for example when writing commit messages. The
+ editor it uses is determined by looking at the environment
+ variables HGEDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR, in that order. The first
+ non-empty one is chosen. If all of them are empty, the editor
+ defaults to 'vi'.
+
+PYTHONPATH
+ This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be
+ set appropriately if this Mercurial is not installed system-wide.
+ ''')),
+
+ (['revs', 'revisions'], _('Specifying Single Revisions'),
+ _(r'''
+ Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
+
+ A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers
+ are treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting
+ the tip, -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
+
+ A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
+ identifier.
+
+ A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
+ unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
+ identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the
+ prefix of exactly one full-length identifier.
+
+ Any other string is treated as a tag or branch name. A tag name is
+ a symbolic name associated with a revision identifier. A branch
+ name denotes the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch
+ names must not contain the ":" character.
+
+ The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies
+ the most recent revision.
+
+ The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
+ revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
+
+ The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If
+ no working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If
+ an uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the
+ first parent.
+ ''')),
+
+ (['mrevs', 'multirevs'], _('Specifying Multiple Revisions'),
+ _(r'''
+ When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be
+ specified individually, or provided as a topologically continuous
+ range, separated by the ":" character.
+
+ The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END
+ are revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If
+ BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END
+ is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means
+ "all revisions".
+
+ If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse
+ order.
+
+ A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
+ gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
+ ''')),
+
+ (['diffs'], _('Diff Formats'),
+ _(r'''
+ Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two
+ versions of a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU
+ diff, which can be used by GNU patch and many other standard
+ tools.
+
+ While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
+ following information:
+
+ - executable status and other permission bits
+ - copy or rename information
+ - changes in binary files
+ - creation or deletion of empty files
+
+ Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
+ which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not
+ produced by default because a few widespread tools still do not
+ understand this format.
+
+ This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
+ (e.g. with "hg export"), you should be careful about things like
+ file copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because
+ when applying a standard diff to a different repository, this
+ extra information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like
+ push and pull) are not affected by this, because they use an
+ internal binary format for communicating changes.
+
+ To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the
+ --git option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in
+ the [diff] section of your hgrc. You do not need to set this
+ option when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq
+ extension.
+ ''')),
+ (['templating', 'templates'], _('Template Usage'),
+ _(r'''
+ Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through
+ templates. You can either pass in a template from the command
+ line, via the --template option, or select an existing
+ template-style (--style).
+
+ You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log,
+ outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, heads and glog.
+
+ Three styles are packaged with Mercurial: default (the style used
+ when no explicit preference is passed), compact and changelog.
+ Usage::
+
+ $ hg log -r1 --style changelog
+
+ A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable
+ expansion::
+
+ $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n"
+ b56ce7b07c52de7d5fd79fb89701ea538af65746
+
+ Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of
+ keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These
+ keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command:
+
+ :author: String. The unmodified author of the changeset.
+ :branches: String. The name of the branch on which the changeset
+ was committed. Will be empty if the branch name was
+ default.
+ :date: Date information. The date when the changeset was
+ committed.
+ :desc: String. The text of the changeset description.
+ :diffstat: String. Statistics of changes with the following
+ format: "modified files: +added/-removed lines"
+ :files: List of strings. All files modified, added, or removed
+ by this changeset.
+ :file_adds: List of strings. Files added by this changeset.
+ :file_mods: List of strings. Files modified by this changeset.
+ :file_dels: List of strings. Files removed by this changeset.
+ :node: String. The changeset identification hash, as a
+ 40-character hexadecimal string.
+ :parents: List of strings. The parents of the changeset.
+ :rev: Integer. The repository-local changeset revision
+ number.
+ :tags: List of strings. Any tags associated with the
+ changeset.
+
+ The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you
+ want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process
+ it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input
+ variable. You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired
+ output::
+
+ $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n"
+ 2008-08-21 18:22 +0000
+
+ List of filters:
+
+ :addbreaks: Any text. Add an XHTML "<br />" tag before the end of
+ every line except the last.
+ :age: Date. Returns a human-readable date/time difference
+ between the given date/time and the current
+ date/time.
+ :basename: Any text. Treats the text as a path, and returns the
+ last component of the path after splitting by the
+ path separator (ignoring trailing separators). For
+ example, "foo/bar/baz" becomes "baz" and "foo/bar//"
+ becomes "bar".
+ :stripdir: Treat the text as path and strip a directory level,
+ if possible. For example, "foo" and "foo/bar" becomes
+ "foo".
+ :date: Date. Returns a date in a Unix date format, including
+ the timezone: "Mon Sep 04 15:13:13 2006 0700".
+ :domain: Any text. Finds the first string that looks like an
+ email address, and extracts just the domain
+ component. Example: 'User <user@example.com>' becomes
+ 'example.com'.
+ :email: Any text. Extracts the first string that looks like
+ an email address. Example: 'User <user@example.com>'
+ becomes 'user@example.com'.
+ :escape: Any text. Replaces the special XML/XHTML characters
+ "&", "<" and ">" with XML entities.
+ :fill68: Any text. Wraps the text to fit in 68 columns.
+ :fill76: Any text. Wraps the text to fit in 76 columns.
+ :firstline: Any text. Returns the first line of text.
+ :nonempty: Any text. Returns '(none)' if the string is empty.
+ :hgdate: Date. Returns the date as a pair of numbers:
+ "1157407993 25200" (Unix timestamp, timezone offset).
+ :isodate: Date. Returns the date in ISO 8601 format.
+ :localdate: Date. Converts a date to local date.
+ :obfuscate: Any text. Returns the input text rendered as a
+ sequence of XML entities.
+ :person: Any text. Returns the text before an email address.
+ :rfc822date: Date. Returns a date using the same format used in
+ email headers.
+ :short: Changeset hash. Returns the short form of a changeset
+ hash, i.e. a 12-byte hexadecimal string.
+ :shortdate: Date. Returns a date like "2006-09-18".
+ :strip: Any text. Strips all leading and trailing whitespace.
+ :tabindent: Any text. Returns the text, with every line except
+ the first starting with a tab character.
+ :urlescape: Any text. Escapes all "special" characters. For
+ example, "foo bar" becomes "foo%20bar".
+ :user: Any text. Returns the user portion of an email
+ address.

+ local/filesystem/path[#revision]
+ file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
+ http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
+ https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
+ ssh://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
+
+ Paths in the local filesystem can either point to Mercurial
+ repositories or to bundle files (as created by 'hg bundle' or 'hg
+ incoming --bundle').
+
+ An optional identifier after # indicates a particular branch, tag,
+ or changeset to use from the remote repository. See also 'hg help
+ revisions'.
+
+ Some features, such as pushing to http:// and https:// URLs are
+ only possible if the feature is explicitly enabled on the remote
+ Mercurial server.
+
+ Some notes about using SSH with Mercurial:
+
+ - SSH requires an accessible shell account on the destination
+ machine and a copy of hg in the remote path or specified with as
+ remotecmd.
+ - path is relative to the remote user's home directory by default.
+ Use an extra slash at the start of a path to specify an absolute
+ path::
+
+ ssh://example.com//tmp/repository
+
+ - Mercurial doesn't use its own compression via SSH; the right
+ thing to do is to configure it in your ~/.ssh/config, e.g.::
+
+ Host *.mylocalnetwork.example.com
+ Compression no
+ Host *
+ Compression yes
+
+ Alternatively specify "ssh -C" as your ssh command in your hgrc
+ or with the --ssh command line option.
+
+ These URLs can all be stored in your hgrc with path aliases under
+ the [paths] section like so::
+
+ [paths]
+ alias1 = URL1
+ alias2 = URL2
+ ...
+
+ You can then use the alias for any command that uses a URL (for
+ example 'hg pull alias1' would pull from the 'alias1' path).
+
+ Two path aliases are special because they are used as defaults
+ when you do not provide the URL to a command:
+
+ default:
+ When you create a repository with hg clone, the clone command
+ saves the location of the source repository as the new
+ repository's 'default' path. This is then used when you omit
+ path from push- and pull-like commands (including incoming and
+ outgoing).
+
+ default-push:
+ The push command will look for a path named 'default-push', and
+ prefer it over 'default' if both are defined.
