50 50 Files
51 51 -----
52 52
53 ``.hgignore``
54 This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
55 describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
56 see |hgignore(5)|_.
57
58 ``.hgtags``
59 This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
60 of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
61 the repository contents.
62
63 53 ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
64 54 This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
65 55 ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
66 56 settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
67 57 See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
68 58 files.
69 59
60 ``.hgignore``
61 This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
62 describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
63 see |hgignore(5)|_.
64
65 ``.hgsub``
66 This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and
67 tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see
68 :hg:`help subrepos`.
69
70 ``.hgsubstate``
71 This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This
72 file should not be edited manually.*
73
74 ``.hgtags``
75 This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
76 of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
77 the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
78
79 ``.hg/last-message.txt``
80 This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
81 in case the commit fails.
82
83 ``.hg/localtags``
84 This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
85 repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
86 encoded using the local system encoding.
87
70 88 Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
71 89 if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
72 90 it will be overwritten.
73 91
