FILES
-----
`.hgignore`::
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by hg. For details, see
hgignore(5).
`.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
