|hg| Large Files Extension
==========================
Large files, such as image or zip files can cause a lot of bandwidth overhead
during clone, push, and pull operations. To remove this inefficiency, |hg|
has a large files extension which tracks their revisions by checksums. This
means that the large files are only downloaded when they are needed as part
of the current revision. This saves both disk space and bandwidth.
To find out more, see the |hg| `Large Files Extensions Documentation`_.
To configure the large files extension, you need to set up your
:file:`~/.hgrc` file.
1. Open your :file:`~/.hgrc` file.
2. Add ``largefiles =`` to the ``[extensions]`` section.
3. Configure the ``[largefiles]`` section with the patterns and file size you
wish |hg| to handle as large. The ``minsize`` option is specified in
megabytes.
4. Save your changes.
