update: correct description of --check option The old "update across branches if no uncommitted changes" made it sound like updating across branches (with no uncommitted changes) was allowed only with this option, which was not true. Also, the option did not care whether it was linear or across branches. Instead, it checked that there were no uncommitted changes. Let's explain what it does instead of trying to suggest what happens without it.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
