revlog: allow duplicates
If two branches make the same change to the same parent, the result
will be an identical hash. Git apparently does this all the time. Deal
with it gracefully.

Setting up Mercurial: Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3. First, unpack the source: $ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz $ cd mercurial-<ver> To install system-wide: $ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run: $ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~ $ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # add this to your .bashrc $ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # And finally: $ hg # test installation, show help If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set PYTHONPATH correctly. Setting up a Mercurial project: $ cd linux/ $ hg init # creates .hg $ hg status # show changes between repo and working dir $ hg diff # generate a unidiff $ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files $ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry $ hg export <rev> # export a changeset as a diff Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your repository contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file paths. Mercurial commands: $ hg history # show changesets $ hg log Makefile # show commits per file $ hg update # check out the tip revision $ hg update <id> # check out a specified changeset # IDs can be tags, revision numbers, or unique # subsets of changeset hash numbers $ hg add foo # add a new file for the next commit $ hg remove bar # mark a file as removed $ hg verify # check repo integrity $ hg tags # show current tags $ hg annotate [files] # show changeset numbers for each file line Branching and merging: $ cd .. $ mkdir linux-work $ cd linux-work $ hg branch ../linux # create a new branch $ hg update # populate the working directory $ <make changes> $ hg commit $ cd ../linux $ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work $ hg update # merge the new tip from linux-work into # our working directory Importing patches: Fast: $ patch < ../p/foo.patch $ hg addremove $ hg commit Faster: $ patch < ../p/foo.patch $ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch` Fastest: $ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p Exporting a patch: (make changes) $ hg commit $ hg tip 28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190 $ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237 Network support: # pull the self-hosting hg repo foo$ hg init foo$ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/ foo$ hg update # hg co works too # export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80 # merge changes from a remote machine bar$ hg pull http://foo/ bar$ hg co # merge changes into your working directory # Set up a CGI server on your webserver foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg-linux/index.cgi foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg-linux/index.cgi # adjust the defaults Symbolic repository names: Mercurial uses an optional file called ~/.hgpaths to track repo locations symbolically. Simply add a line with the name, a space, and a URL: foo$ echo "main http://selenic.com/hg/" >> ~/.hgpaths foo$ hg merge main foo$ hg co
