merge: suggest 'hg up -C .' for discarding changes, not 'hg up -C'
Without specifying the parent revision of the working copy, users will
update to tip, which is most likely the other head they were trying to
merge, not the revision they were at before the merge.
# Make sure that the internal merge tools (internal:fail, internal:local, and
# internal:other) are used when matched by a merge-pattern in hgrc
Make sure HGMERGE doesn't interfere with the test:
$ unset HGMERGE
$ hg init
Initial file contents:
$ echo "line 1" > f
$ echo "line 2" >> f
$ echo "line 3" >> f
$ hg ci -Am "revision 0"
adding f
$ cat f
line 1
line 2
line 3
Branch 1: editing line 1:
$ sed 's/line 1/first line/' f > f.new
$ mv f.new f
$ hg ci -Am "edited first line"
Branch 2: editing line 3:
$ hg update 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ sed 's/line 3/third line/' f > f.new
$ mv f.new f
$ hg ci -Am "edited third line"
created new head
Merge using internal:fail tool:
$ echo "[merge-patterns]" > .hg/hgrc
$ echo "* = internal:fail" >> .hg/hgrc
$ hg merge
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
$ cat f
