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
