-Valid URLs are of the form::
-
- 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' will be treated as 'hg pull URL1').
-
-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.
