For changesets with a first parent nullid, but not rev 0, we ought to
display a null parent.

MERCURIAL QUICK-START 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> When installing, change python to python2.3 or python2.4 if 2.2 is the default on your system. To install system-wide: $ python setup.py install --force To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run: $ python setup.py install --home=${HOME} --force $ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # (or lib64/ on some systems) $ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # add these to your .bashrc 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: $ hg init project # creates project directory $ cd project # copy files in, edit them $ hg add # add all unknown files $ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your repository which contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file paths. Branching and merging: $ hg clone project project-work # create a new branch $ cd project-work $ <make changes> $ hg commit $ cd ../project $ hg pull ../project-work # pull changesets from project-work $ hg merge # merge the new tip from project-work into # our working directory $ hg commit # commit the result of the merge Importing patches: Simple: $ patch < ../p/foo.patch $ hg commit -A Fast: $ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p Exporting a patch: (make changes) $ hg commit $ hg export tip > foo.patch # export latest change Network support: # pull from the primary Mercurial repo foo$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/ foo$ cd hg # export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80 # pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/ # merge changes from a remote machine bar$ hg pull http://foo/ bar$ hg merge # merge changes into your working directory # Set up a CGI server on your webserver foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults For more info: Documentation in doc/ Mercurial website at http://selenic.com/mercurial
