What is "hg purge"?
===================
"purge" is a simple extension for the Mercurial source control management
system (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial).
This extension adds a "purge" command to "hg" that removes files not known
to mercurial, this is useful to test local and uncommitted changes in the
otherwise clean source tree.

This means that Mercurial will delete:
 - Unknown files: files marked with "?" by "hg status"
 - Ignored files: files usually ignored by Mercurial because they match a

Be careful with "hg purge", you could irreversibly delete some files you
forgot to add to the repository. If you only want to print the list of
files that this program would delete use:
  hg purge -vn

"hg purge" was inspired by the "cvspurge" script contained in CVS utilities
(http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/).
