subrepos: abort commit by default if a subrepo is dirty (BC) This changeset flips the default value of ui.commitsubrepos setting from True to False and adds a --subrepos flag to commit. The commit, status, and diff commands behave like this with regard to recusion and the ui.commitsubrepos setting: | recurses | recurses | by default | with --subrepos --------+---------------+---------------- commit: | commitsubrepo | True status: | False | True diff: | False | True By changing the default from True to False, the table becomes consistent in the two columns: * without --subrepos on the command line, commit will abort if a subrepo is dirty and status/diff wont show changes inside subrepos. * with --subrepos, all three commands will recurse. A --subrepos flag on the command line overrides the config settin.g

Synopsis
--------
**hg** *command* [*option*]... [*argument*]...

Description
-----------
The **hg** command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial
system.

Command Elements
----------------

files...
    indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames; see
    `File Name Patterns`_ for information on pattern matching

path
    indicates a path on the local machine

revision
    indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset

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_
below) when you find them.
