[PATCH] Make ui.warn write to stderr
From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com>
> Someone is probably using ui.write instead of ui.warn.
Actually, ui.warn uses ui.write. So hg never prints to stderr right
now. Here's a patch to fix that.
[mpm: add sys.stdout.flush()]

MERCURIAL QUICK-START
Setting up Mercurial:
Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by
default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C
compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3.
First, unpack the source:
$ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz
$ cd mercurial-<ver>
To install system-wide:
$ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default
To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run:
$ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~
$ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # (or lib64/ on some systems)
$ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # add these to your .bashrc
And finally:
$ hg # test installation, show help
If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set
PYTHONPATH correctly.
Setting up a Mercurial project:
$ cd project/
$ hg init # creates .hg
$ hg status # show changes between repo and working dir
$ hg diff # generate a unidiff
$ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
$ hg export <rev> # export a changeset as a diff
Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your
repository contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file
paths.
Mercurial commands:
$ hg help [command] # get online help
$ hg history # show changesets
$ hg log Makefile # show commits per file
$ hg update # check out the tip revision
$ hg update <id> # check out a specified changeset
# IDs can be tags, revision numbers, or unique
# subsets of changeset hash numbers
$ hg add foo # add a new file for the next commit
$ hg remove bar # mark a file as removed
$ hg verify # check repo integrity
$ hg tags # show current tags
$ hg annotate [files] # show changeset numbers for each file line
Branching and merging:
$ cd ..
$ mkdir linux-work
$ cd linux-work
$ hg init ../linux # create a new branch
$ hg update # populate the working directory
$ <make changes>
$ hg commit
$ cd ../linux
$ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work
$ hg update -m # merge the new tip from linux-work into
# our working directory
Importing patches:
Fast:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg addremove
$ hg commit
Faster:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch`
Fastest:
$ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p
Exporting a patch:
(make changes)
$ hg commit
$ hg tip
28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190
$ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237
Network support:
# pull from the primary Mercurial repo
foo$ hg init
foo$ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/
foo$ hg update # hg co works too
# export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80
# pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH
foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/
# merge changes from a remote machine
bar$ hg pull http://foo/
bar$ hg update -m # merge changes into your working directory
# Set up a CGI server on your webserver
foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi
foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults
Symbolic repository names:
Mercurial uses an options file called ~/.hgrc. To track locations
symbolically, add a section to it like this:
[paths]
main = http://selenic.com/hg
linux = http://www.kernel.org/hg/
