r724 glob patterns.
Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a
name with "path:". These path names must match completely, from
the root of the current repository.
To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:". Globs are
rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match
files ending in ".c" in the current directory only.
The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string
across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b".
To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:".
Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.
Plain examples:
path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of
the repository
path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"
Glob examples:
glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
**.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or
any subdirectory
foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any
subdirectory
Regexp examples:

[PATCH] New export patch...
r580 SPECIFYING SINGLE REVISIONS
---------------------------
Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying individual
revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative
integers are treated as offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the
tip.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier, and referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the
prefix of one full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a tag name, which is a symbolic
name associated with a revision identifier. Tag names may not
contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies
the most recent revision.
SPECIFYING MULTIPLE REVISIONS
-----------------------------
When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be
specified individually, or provided as a continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.
The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END
are revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If
BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END
is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus
means "all revisions".
If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse
order.
Thomas Arendsen Hein
Use correct term "closed interval" for ranges.
r860 A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5

r580 gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 4:2 gives 4, 3, and 2.

A list of files or directories to search for hgrc files. Item

platform default search path is used. If empty, only .hg/hgrc of
current repository is read.
For each element in path, if a directory, all entries in directory
ending with ".rc" are added to path. Else, element itself is
added to path.
