NAME
----
hg - Mercurial source code management system
SYNOPSIS
--------
'hg' [global option]... <command> [command/global option]... [argument]...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The hg(1) command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.
COMMAND ELEMENTS
----------------
files ...::
indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see
"FILE NAME PATTERNS" for information on pattern matching
path::
indicates a path on the local machine
revision::
indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset revision
number, a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset hash value
repository path::
either the pathname of a local repository or the URI of a remote
repository. There are two available URI protocols, http:// which is
fast and the static-http:// protocol which is much slower but does not
require a special server on the web host.

SPECIFYING SINGLE REVISIONS
---------------------------
Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying individual
revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative
integers are treated as offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the
tip.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier, and referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the
prefix of one full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a tag name, which is a symbolic
name associated with a revision identifier. Tag names may not
contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies
the most recent revision.
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If
no working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null.
If an uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of
the first parent.
SPECIFYING MULTIPLE REVISIONS
-----------------------------
When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be
specified individually, or provided as a continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.
The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END
are revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If
BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END
is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus
means "all revisions".
If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse
order.
A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 4:2 gives 4, 3, and 2.
FILES
-----
repo/.hgignore::
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file
names that should be ignored by hg. For details, see hgignore(5).
repo/.hgtags::
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each
separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository
contents.
/etc/mercurial/hgrc, $HOME/.hgrc, .hg/hgrc::
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in .hg/hgrc
override those in $HOME/.hgrc, and these override settings made in the
global /etc/mercurial/hgrc configuration. See hgrc(5) for details of
the contents and format of these files.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in .orig, if
the .orig file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it
will be overwritten.
BUGS
----
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (See Resources below)
when you find them.
