keyword: use parent of working copy as base for status Instead of calling repo[None].status(), use the more common form that uses the parent of the working copy as the base: repo['.'].status(). Note that the former defaults to comparing to revision '.', while the latter defaults to revision None, so the contexts being compared are the same. It might seem like this would result in a reverse diff, but it turns out that workingctx.status() incorrectly reverses the result. That bug will be fixed in a later commit.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
