1 1 The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control
2 2 aspects of its behavior.
3 3
4 4 The configuration files use a simple ini-file format. A configuration
5 5 file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header and followed
6 6 by ``name = value`` entries::
7 7
8 8 [ui]
9 9 username = Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@example.net>
10 10 verbose = True
11 11
12 12 The above entries will be referred to as ``ui.username`` and
13 13 ``ui.verbose``, respectively. See the Syntax section below.
14 14
15 15 Files
16 16 -----
17 17
18 18 Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist.
19 19 These files do not exist by default and you will have to create the
20 20 appropriate configuration files yourself: global configuration like
21 21 the username setting is typically put into
22 22 ``%USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini`` or ``$HOME/.hgrc`` and local
23 23 configuration is put into the per-repository ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` file.
24 24
25 25 The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is
26 26 installed. ``*.rc`` files from a single directory are read in
27 27 alphabetical order, later ones overriding earlier ones. Where multiple
28 28 paths are given below, settings from earlier paths override later
29 29 ones.
30 30
31 31 | (All) ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc``
32 32
33 33 Per-repository configuration options that only apply in a
34 34 particular repository. This file is not version-controlled, and
35 35 will not get transferred during a "clone" operation. Options in
36 36 this file override options in all other configuration files. On
37 37 Plan 9 and Unix, most of this file will be ignored if it doesn't
38 38 belong to a trusted user or to a trusted group. See the documentation
39 39 for the ``[trusted]`` section below for more details.
40 40
41 41 | (Plan 9) ``$home/lib/hgrc``

48 48 Per-user configuration file(s), for the user running Mercurial. On
49 49 Windows 9x, ``%HOME%`` is replaced by ``%APPDATA%``. Options in these
50 50 files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by this user in any
51 51 directory. Options in these files override per-system and per-installation
52 52 options.
53 53

58 58
59 59 Per-system configuration files, for the system on which Mercurial
60 60 is running. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands
61 61 executed by any user in any directory. Options in these files
62 62 override per-installation options.
63 63

67 67 | (Unix) ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc``
68 68
69 69 Per-installation configuration files, searched for in the
70 70 directory where Mercurial is installed. ``<install-root>`` is the
71 71 parent directory of the **hg** executable (or symlink) being run. For
72 72 example, if installed in ``/shared/tools/bin/hg``, Mercurial will look
73 73 in ``/shared/tools/etc/mercurial/hgrc``. Options in these files apply
74 74 to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory.
75 75
76 76 | (Windows) ``<install-dir>\Mercurial.ini`` **or**
77 77 | (Windows) ``<install-dir>\hgrc.d\*.rc`` **or**
78 78 | (Windows) ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial``
79 79
80 80 Per-installation/system configuration files, for the system on
81 81 which Mercurial is running. Options in these files apply to all
82 82 Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory. Registry
83 83 keys contain PATH-like strings, every part of which must reference
84 84 a ``Mercurial.ini`` file or be a directory where ``*.rc`` files will
85 85 be read. Mercurial checks each of these locations in the specified
86 86 order until one or more configuration files are detected. If the
87 87 pywin32 extensions are not installed, Mercurial will only look for
88 88 site-wide configuration in ``C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini``.
89 89
90 90 Syntax
91 91 ------
92 92
93 93 A configuration file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header
94 94 and followed by ``name = value`` entries (sometimes called
95 95 ``configuration keys``)::
96 96
97 97 [spam]
98 98 eggs=ham
99 99 green=
100 100 eggs
101 101
102 102 Each line contains one entry. If the lines that follow are indented,
103 103 they are treated as continuations of that entry. Leading whitespace is
104 104 removed from values. Empty lines are skipped. Lines beginning with
105 105 ``#`` or ``;`` are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
106 106
107 107 Configuration keys can be set multiple times, in which case Mercurial
108 108 will use the value that was configured last. As an example::
109 109
110 110 [spam]
111 111 eggs=large
112 112 ham=serrano
113 113 eggs=small
114 114
115 115 This would set the configuration key named ``eggs`` to ``small``.
116 116
117 117 It is also possible to define a section multiple times. A section can
118 118 be redefined on the same and/or on different configuration files. For
119 119 example::
120 120
121 121 [foo]
122 122 eggs=large
123 123 ham=serrano
124 124 eggs=small
125 125
126 126 [bar]
127 127 eggs=ham
128 128 green=
129 129 eggs
130 130
131 131 [foo]
132 132 ham=prosciutto
133 133 eggs=medium
134 134 bread=toasted
135 135
136 136 This would set the ``eggs``, ``ham``, and ``bread`` configuration keys
137 137 of the ``foo`` section to ``medium``, ``prosciutto``, and ``toasted``,
138 138 respectively. As you can see there only thing that matters is the last
139 139 value that was set for each of the configuration keys.
140 140
141 141 If a configuration key is set multiple times in different
142 142 configuration files the final value will depend on the order in which
143 143 the different configuration files are read, with settings from earlier
144 144 paths overriding later ones as described on the ``Files`` section
145 145 above.
146 146
147 147 A line of the form ``%include file`` will include ``file`` into the
148 148 current configuration file. The inclusion is recursive, which means
149 149 that included files can include other files. Filenames are relative to
150 150 the configuration file in which the ``%include`` directive is found.
151 151 Environment variables and ``~user`` constructs are expanded in
152 152 ``file``. This lets you do something like::
153 153
154 154 %include ~/.hgrc.d/$HOST.rc
155 155
156 156 to include a different configuration file on each computer you use.
157 157
158 158 A line with ``%unset name`` will remove ``name`` from the current
159 159 section, if it has been set previously.
160 160
161 161 The values are either free-form text strings, lists of text strings,
162 162 or Boolean values. Boolean values can be set to true using any of "1",
163 163 "yes", "true", or "on" and to false using "0", "no", "false", or "off"
164 164 (all case insensitive).
165 165
166 166 List values are separated by whitespace or comma, except when values are
167 167 placed in double quotation marks::
168 168
169 169 allow_read = "John Doe, PhD", brian, betty
170 170
171 171 Quotation marks can be escaped by prefixing them with a backslash. Only
172 172 quotation marks at the beginning of a word is counted as a quotation
173 173 (e.g., ``foo"bar baz`` is the list of ``foo"bar`` and ``baz``).
174 174
175 175 Sections
176 176 --------
177 177
178 178 This section describes the different sections that may appear in a
179 179 Mercurial configuration file, the purpose of each section, its possible
180 180 keys, and their possible values.
181 181
182 182 ``alias``
183 183 """""""""
184 184
185 185 Defines command aliases.
186 186 Aliases allow you to define your own commands in terms of other
187 187 commands (or aliases), optionally including arguments. Positional
188 188 arguments in the form of ``$1``, ``$2``, etc in the alias definition
189 189 are expanded by Mercurial before execution. Positional arguments not
190 190 already used by ``$N`` in the definition are put at the end of the
191 191 command to be executed.
192 192
193 193 Alias definitions consist of lines of the form::
194 194
195 195 <alias> = <command> [<argument>]...
196 196
197 197 For example, this definition::
198 198
199 199 latest = log --limit 5
200 200
201 201 creates a new command ``latest`` that shows only the five most recent
202 202 changesets. You can define subsequent aliases using earlier ones::
203 203
204 204 stable5 = latest -b stable
205 205
206 206 .. note:: It is possible to create aliases with the same names as
207 207 existing commands, which will then override the original
208 208 definitions. This is almost always a bad idea!
209 209
210 210 An alias can start with an exclamation point (``!``) to make it a
211 211 shell alias. A shell alias is executed with the shell and will let you
212 212 run arbitrary commands. As an example, ::
213 213
214 214 echo = !echo
215 215
216 216 will let you do ``hg echo foo`` to have ``foo`` printed in your
217 217 terminal. A better example might be::
218 218
219 219 purge = !$HG status --no-status --unknown -0 | xargs -0 rm
220 220
221 221 which will make ``hg purge`` delete all unknown files in the
222 222 repository in the same manner as the purge extension.
223 223
224 224 Shell aliases are executed in an environment where ``$HG`` expand to
225 225 the path of the Mercurial that was used to execute the alias. This is
226 226 useful when you want to call further Mercurial commands in a shell
227 227 alias, as was done above for the purge alias. In addition,
228 228 ``$HG_ARGS`` expand to the arguments given to Mercurial. In the ``hg
229 229 echo foo`` call above, ``$HG_ARGS`` would expand to ``echo foo``.
230 230
231 231 .. note:: Some global configuration options such as ``-R`` are
232 232 processed before shell aliases and will thus not be passed to
233 233 aliases.
234 234
235 235
236 236 ``annotate``
237 237 """"""""""""
238 238
239 239 Settings used when displaying file annotations. All values are
240 240 Booleans and default to False. See ``diff`` section for related
241 241 options for the diff command.
242 242
243 243 ``ignorews``
244 244 Ignore white space when comparing lines.
245 245
246 246 ``ignorewsamount``
247 247 Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
248 248
249 249 ``ignoreblanklines``
250 250 Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
251 251
252 252
253 253 ``auth``
254 254 """"""""
255 255
256 256 Authentication credentials for HTTP authentication. This section
257 257 allows you to store usernames and passwords for use when logging
258 258 *into* HTTP servers. See the ``[web]`` configuration section if
259 259 you want to configure *who* can login to your HTTP server.
260 260
261 261 Each line has the following format::
262 262
263 263 <name>.<argument> = <value>
264 264
265 265 where ``<name>`` is used to group arguments into authentication
266 266 entries. Example::
267 267
268 268 foo.prefix = hg.intevation.org/mercurial
269 269 foo.username = foo
270 270 foo.password = bar
271 271 foo.schemes = http https
272 272
273 273 bar.prefix = secure.example.org
274 274 bar.key = path/to/file.key
275 275 bar.cert = path/to/file.cert
276 276 bar.schemes = https
277 277
278 278 Supported arguments:
279 279
280 280 ``prefix``
281 281 Either ``*`` or a URI prefix with or without the scheme part.
282 282 The authentication entry with the longest matching prefix is used
283 283 (where ``*`` matches everything and counts as a match of length
284 284 1). If the prefix doesn't include a scheme, the match is performed
285 285 against the URI with its scheme stripped as well, and the schemes
286 286 argument, q.v., is then subsequently consulted.
287 287
288 288 ``username``
289 289 Optional. Username to authenticate with. If not given, and the
290 290 remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user will
291 291 be prompted for it. Environment variables are expanded in the
292 292 username letting you do ``foo.username = $USER``. If the URI
293 293 includes a username, only ``[auth]`` entries with a matching
294 294 username or without a username will be considered.
295 295
296 296 ``password``
297 297 Optional. Password to authenticate with. If not given, and the
298 298 remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user
299 299 will be prompted for it.
300 300
301 301 ``key``
302 302 Optional. PEM encoded client certificate key file. Environment
303 303 variables are expanded in the filename.
304 304
305 305 ``cert``
306 306 Optional. PEM encoded client certificate chain file. Environment
307 307 variables are expanded in the filename.
308 308
309 309 ``schemes``
310 310 Optional. Space separated list of URI schemes to use this
311 311 authentication entry with. Only used if the prefix doesn't include
312 312 a scheme. Supported schemes are http and https. They will match
313 313 static-http and static-https respectively, as well.
314 314 Default: https.
315 315
316 316 If no suitable authentication entry is found, the user is prompted
317 317 for credentials as usual if required by the remote.
318 318
319 319
320 320 ``decode/encode``
321 321 """""""""""""""""
322 322
323 323 Filters for transforming files on checkout/checkin. This would
324 324 typically be used for newline processing or other
325 325 localization/canonicalization of files.
326 326
327 327 Filters consist of a filter pattern followed by a filter command.
328 328 Filter patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository root.
329 329 For example, to match any file ending in ``.txt`` in the root
330 330 directory only, use the pattern ``*.txt``. To match any file ending
331 331 in ``.c`` anywhere in the repository, use the pattern ``**.c``.
332 332 For each file only the first matching filter applies.
333 333
334 334 The filter command can start with a specifier, either ``pipe:`` or
335 335 ``tempfile:``. If no specifier is given, ``pipe:`` is used by default.
336 336
337 337 A ``pipe:`` command must accept data on stdin and return the transformed
338 338 data on stdout.
339 339
340 340 Pipe example::
341 341
342 342 [encode]
343 343 # uncompress gzip files on checkin to improve delta compression
344 344 # note: not necessarily a good idea, just an example
345 345 *.gz = pipe: gunzip
346 346
347 347 [decode]
348 348 # recompress gzip files when writing them to the working dir (we
349 349 # can safely omit "pipe:", because it's the default)
350 350 *.gz = gzip
351 351
352 352 A ``tempfile:`` command is a template. The string ``INFILE`` is replaced
353 353 with the name of a temporary file that contains the data to be
354 354 filtered by the command. The string ``OUTFILE`` is replaced with the name
355 355 of an empty temporary file, where the filtered data must be written by
356 356 the command.
357 357
358 358 .. note:: The tempfile mechanism is recommended for Windows systems,
359 359 where the standard shell I/O redirection operators often have
360 360 strange effects and may corrupt the contents of your files.
361 361
362 362 This filter mechanism is used internally by the ``eol`` extension to
363 363 translate line ending characters between Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF)
364 364 format. We suggest you use the ``eol`` extension for convenience.
365 365
366 366
367 367 ``defaults``
368 368 """"""""""""
369 369
370 370 (defaults are deprecated. Don't use them. Use aliases instead)
371 371
372 372 Use the ``[defaults]`` section to define command defaults, i.e. the
373 373 default options/arguments to pass to the specified commands.
374 374
375 375 The following example makes :hg:`log` run in verbose mode, and
376 376 :hg:`status` show only the modified files, by default::
377 377
378 378 [defaults]
379 379 log = -v
380 380 status = -m
381 381
382 382 The actual commands, instead of their aliases, must be used when
383 383 defining command defaults. The command defaults will also be applied
384 384 to the aliases of the commands defined.
385 385
386 386
387 387 ``diff``
388 388 """"""""
389 389
390 390 Settings used when displaying diffs. Everything except for ``unified``
391 391 is a Boolean and defaults to False. See ``annotate`` section for
392 392 related options for the annotate command.
393 393
394 394 ``git``
395 395 Use git extended diff format.
396 396
397 397 ``nodates``
398 398 Don't include dates in diff headers.
399 399
400 400 ``showfunc``
401 401 Show which function each change is in.
402 402
403 403 ``ignorews``
404 404 Ignore white space when comparing lines.
405 405
406 406 ``ignorewsamount``
407 407 Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
408 408
409 409 ``ignoreblanklines``
410 410 Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
411 411
412 412 ``unified``
413 413 Number of lines of context to show.
414 414
415 415 ``email``
416 416 """""""""
417 417
418 418 Settings for extensions that send email messages.
419 419
420 420 ``from``
421 421 Optional. Email address to use in "From" header and SMTP envelope
422 422 of outgoing messages.
423 423
424 424 ``to``
425 425 Optional. Comma-separated list of recipients' email addresses.
426 426
427 427 ``cc``
428 428 Optional. Comma-separated list of carbon copy recipients'
429 429 email addresses.
430 430
431 431 ``bcc``
432 432 Optional. Comma-separated list of blind carbon copy recipients'
433 433 email addresses.
434 434
435 435 ``method``
436 436 Optional. Method to use to send email messages. If value is ``smtp``
437 437 (default), use SMTP (see the ``[smtp]`` section for configuration).
438 438 Otherwise, use as name of program to run that acts like sendmail
439 439 (takes ``-f`` option for sender, list of recipients on command line,
440 440 message on stdin). Normally, setting this to ``sendmail`` or
441 441 ``/usr/sbin/sendmail`` is enough to use sendmail to send messages.
442 442
443 443 ``charsets``
444 444 Optional. Comma-separated list of character sets considered
445 445 convenient for recipients. Addresses, headers, and parts not
446 446 containing patches of outgoing messages will be encoded in the
447 447 first character set to which conversion from local encoding
448 448 (``$HGENCODING``, ``ui.fallbackencoding``) succeeds. If correct
449 449 conversion fails, the text in question is sent as is. Defaults to
450 450 empty (explicit) list.
451 451
452 452 Order of outgoing email character sets:
453 453
454 454 1. ``us-ascii``: always first, regardless of settings
455 455 2. ``email.charsets``: in order given by user
456 456 3. ``ui.fallbackencoding``: if not in email.charsets
457 457 4. ``$HGENCODING``: if not in email.charsets
458 458 5. ``utf-8``: always last, regardless of settings
459 459
460 460 Email example::
461 461
462 462 [email]
463 463 from = Joseph User <joe.user@example.com>
464 464 method = /usr/sbin/sendmail

470 470 ``extensions``
471 471 """"""""""""""
472 472
473 473 Mercurial has an extension mechanism for adding new features. To
474 474 enable an extension, create an entry for it in this section.
475 475
476 476 If you know that the extension is already in Python's search path,
477 477 you can give the name of the module, followed by ``=``, with nothing
478 478 after the ``=``.
479 479
480 480 Otherwise, give a name that you choose, followed by ``=``, followed by
481 481 the path to the ``.py`` file (including the file name extension) that
482 482 defines the extension.
483 483
484 484 To explicitly disable an extension that is enabled in an hgrc of
485 485 broader scope, prepend its path with ``!``, as in ``foo = !/ext/path``
486 486 or ``foo = !`` when path is not supplied.
487 487
488 488 Example for ``~/.hgrc``::
489 489
490 490 [extensions]
491 491 # (the mq extension will get loaded from Mercurial's path)
492 492 mq =
493 493 # (this extension will get loaded from the file specified)
494 494 myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

496 496
497 497 ``format``
498 498 """"""""""
499 499
500 500 ``usestore``
501 501 Enable or disable the "store" repository format which improves
502 502 compatibility with systems that fold case or otherwise mangle
503 503 filenames. Enabled by default. Disabling this option will allow
504 504 you to store longer filenames in some situations at the expense of
505 505 compatibility and ensures that the on-disk format of newly created
506 506 repositories will be compatible with Mercurial before version 0.9.4.
507 507
508 508 ``usefncache``
509 509 Enable or disable the "fncache" repository format which enhances
510 510 the "store" repository format (which has to be enabled to use
511 511 fncache) to allow longer filenames and avoids using Windows
512 512 reserved names, e.g. "nul". Enabled by default. Disabling this
513 513 option ensures that the on-disk format of newly created
514 514 repositories will be compatible with Mercurial before version 1.1.
515 515
516 516 ``dotencode``
517 517 Enable or disable the "dotencode" repository format which enhances
518 518 the "fncache" repository format (which has to be enabled to use
519 519 dotencode) to avoid issues with filenames starting with ._ on
520 520 Mac OS X and spaces on Windows. Enabled by default. Disabling this
521 521 option ensures that the on-disk format of newly created
522 522 repositories will be compatible with Mercurial before version 1.7.
523 523
524 524 ``graph``
525 525 """""""""
526 526
527 527 Web graph view configuration. This section let you change graph
528 528 elements display properties by branches, for instance to make the
529 529 ``default`` branch stand out.
530 530
531 531 Each line has the following format::
532 532
533 533 <branch>.<argument> = <value>
534 534
535 535 where ``<branch>`` is the name of the branch being
536 536 customized. Example::
537 537
538 538 [graph]
539 539 # 2px width
540 540 default.width = 2
541 541 # red color
542 542 default.color = FF0000
543 543
544 544 Supported arguments:
545 545
546 546 ``width``
547 547 Set branch edges width in pixels.
548 548
549 549 ``color``
550 550 Set branch edges color in hexadecimal RGB notation.
551 551
552 552 ``hooks``
553 553 """""""""
554 554
555 555 Commands or Python functions that get automatically executed by
556 556 various actions such as starting or finishing a commit. Multiple
557 557 hooks can be run for the same action by appending a suffix to the
558 558 action. Overriding a site-wide hook can be done by changing its
559 559 value or setting it to an empty string. Hooks can be prioritized
560 560 by adding a prefix of ``priority`` to the hook name on a new line
561 561 and setting the priority. The default priority is 0 if
562 562 not specified.
563 563
564 564 Example ``.hg/hgrc``::
565 565
566 566 [hooks]
567 567 # update working directory after adding changesets
568 568 changegroup.update = hg update
569 569 # do not use the site-wide hook
570 570 incoming =
571 571 incoming.email = /my/email/hook
572 572 incoming.autobuild = /my/build/hook
573 573 # force autobuild hook to run before other incoming hooks
574 574 priority.incoming.autobuild = 1
575 575
576 576 Most hooks are run with environment variables set that give useful
577 577 additional information. For each hook below, the environment
578 578 variables it is passed are listed with names of the form ``$HG_foo``.
579 579
580 580 ``changegroup``
581 581 Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle.
582 582 ID of the first new changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. URL from which
583 583 changes came is in ``$HG_URL``.
584 584
585 585 ``commit``
586 586 Run after a changeset has been created in the local repository. ID
587 587 of the newly created changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. Parent changeset
588 588 IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
589 589
590 590 ``incoming``
591 591 Run after a changeset has been pulled, pushed, or unbundled into
592 592 the local repository. The ID of the newly arrived changeset is in
593 593 ``$HG_NODE``. URL that was source of changes came is in ``$HG_URL``.
594 594
595 595 ``outgoing``
596 596 Run after sending changes from local repository to another. ID of
597 597 first changeset sent is in ``$HG_NODE``. Source of operation is in
598 598 ``$HG_SOURCE``; see "preoutgoing" hook for description.
599 599
600 600 ``post-<command>``
601 601 Run after successful invocations of the associated command. The
602 602 contents of the command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS`` and the result
603 603 code in ``$HG_RESULT``. Parsed command line arguments are passed as
604 604 ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string representations of
605 605 the python data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS`` is a
606 606 dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their defaults).
607 607 ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. Hook failure is ignored.
608 608
609 609 ``pre-<command>``
610 610 Run before executing the associated command. The contents of the
611 611 command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS``. Parsed command line arguments
612 612 are passed as ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string
613 613 representations of the data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS``
614 614 is a dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their
615 615 defaults). ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. If the hook returns
616 616 failure, the command doesn't execute and Mercurial returns the failure
617 617 code.
618 618
619 619 ``prechangegroup``
620 620 Run before a changegroup is added via push, pull or unbundle. Exit
621 621 status 0 allows the changegroup to proceed. Non-zero status will
622 622 cause the push, pull or unbundle to fail. URL from which changes
623 623 will come is in ``$HG_URL``.
624 624
625 625 ``precommit``
626 626 Run before starting a local commit. Exit status 0 allows the
627 627 commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the commit to fail.
628 628 Parent changeset IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
629 629
630 630 ``prelistkeys``
631 631 Run before listing pushkeys (like bookmarks) in the
632 632 repository. Non-zero status will cause failure. The key namespace is
633 633 in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``.
634 634
635 635 ``preoutgoing``
636 636 Run before collecting changes to send from the local repository to
637 637 another. Non-zero status will cause failure. This lets you prevent
638 638 pull over HTTP or SSH. Also prevents against local pull, push
639 639 (outbound) or bundle commands, but not effective, since you can
640 640 just copy files instead then. Source of operation is in
641 641 ``$HG_SOURCE``. If "serve", operation is happening on behalf of remote
642 642 SSH or HTTP repository. If "push", "pull" or "bundle", operation
643 643 is happening on behalf of repository on same system.
644 644
645 645 ``prepushkey``
646 646 Run before a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the
647 647 repository. Non-zero status will cause the key to be rejected. The
648 648 key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``, the key is in ``$HG_KEY``,
649 649 the old value (if any) is in ``$HG_OLD``, and the new value is in
650 650 ``$HG_NEW``.
651 651
652 652 ``pretag``
653 653 Run before creating a tag. Exit status 0 allows the tag to be
654 654 created. Non-zero status will cause the tag to fail. ID of
655 655 changeset to tag is in ``$HG_NODE``. Name of tag is in ``$HG_TAG``. Tag is
656 656 local if ``$HG_LOCAL=1``, in repository if ``$HG_LOCAL=0``.
657 657
658 658 ``pretxnchangegroup``
659 659 Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle,
660 660 but before the transaction has been committed. Changegroup is
661 661 visible to hook program. This lets you validate incoming changes
662 662 before accepting them. Passed the ID of the first new changeset in
663 663 ``$HG_NODE``. Exit status 0 allows the transaction to commit. Non-zero
664 664 status will cause the transaction to be rolled back and the push,
665 665 pull or unbundle will fail. URL that was source of changes is in
666 666 ``$HG_URL``.
667 667
668 668 ``pretxncommit``
669 669 Run after a changeset has been created but the transaction not yet
670 670 committed. Changeset is visible to hook program. This lets you
671 671 validate commit message and changes. Exit status 0 allows the
672 672 commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the transaction to
673 673 be rolled back. ID of changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. Parent changeset
674 674 IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
675 675
676 676 ``preupdate``
677 677 Run before updating the working directory. Exit status 0 allows
678 678 the update to proceed. Non-zero status will prevent the update.
679 679 Changeset ID of first new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT1``. If merge, ID
680 680 of second new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT2``.
681 681
682 682 ``listkeys``
683 683 Run after listing pushkeys (like bookmarks) in the repository. The
684 684 key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``. ``$HG_VALUES`` is a
685 685 dictionary containing the keys and values.
686 686
687 687 ``pushkey``
688 688 Run after a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the
689 689 repository. The key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``, the key is in
690 690 ``$HG_KEY``, the old value (if any) is in ``$HG_OLD``, and the new
691 691 value is in ``$HG_NEW``.
692 692
693 693 ``tag``
694 694 Run after a tag is created. ID of tagged changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``.
695 695 Name of tag is in ``$HG_TAG``. Tag is local if ``$HG_LOCAL=1``, in
696 696 repository if ``$HG_LOCAL=0``.
697 697
698 698 ``update``
699 699 Run after updating the working directory. Changeset ID of first
700 700 new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT1``. If merge, ID of second new parent is
701 701 in ``$HG_PARENT2``. If the update succeeded, ``$HG_ERROR=0``. If the
702 702 update failed (e.g. because conflicts not resolved), ``$HG_ERROR=1``.
703 703
704 704 .. note:: It is generally better to use standard hooks rather than the
705 705 generic pre- and post- command hooks as they are guaranteed to be
706 706 called in the appropriate contexts for influencing transactions.
707 707 Also, hooks like "commit" will be called in all contexts that
708 708 generate a commit (e.g. tag) and not just the commit command.
709 709
710 710 .. note:: Environment variables with empty values may not be passed to
711 711 hooks on platforms such as Windows. As an example, ``$HG_PARENT2``
712 712 will have an empty value under Unix-like platforms for non-merge
713 713 changesets, while it will not be available at all under Windows.
714 714
715 715 The syntax for Python hooks is as follows::
716 716
717 717 hookname = python:modulename.submodule.callable
718 718 hookname = python:/path/to/python/module.py:callable
719 719
720 720 Python hooks are run within the Mercurial process. Each hook is
721 721 called with at least three keyword arguments: a ui object (keyword
722 722 ``ui``), a repository object (keyword ``repo``), and a ``hooktype``
723 723 keyword that tells what kind of hook is used. Arguments listed as
724 724 environment variables above are passed as keyword arguments, with no
725 725 ``HG_`` prefix, and names in lower case.
726 726
727 727 If a Python hook returns a "true" value or raises an exception, this
728 728 is treated as a failure.
729 729
730 730
731 731 ``hostfingerprints``
732 732 """"""""""""""""""""
733 733
734 734 Fingerprints of the certificates of known HTTPS servers.
735 735 A HTTPS connection to a server with a fingerprint configured here will
736 736 only succeed if the servers certificate matches the fingerprint.
737 737 This is very similar to how ssh known hosts works.
738 738 The fingerprint is the SHA-1 hash value of the DER encoded certificate.
739 739 The CA chain and web.cacerts is not used for servers with a fingerprint.
740 740
741 741 For example::
742 742
743 743 [hostfingerprints]
744 744 hg.intevation.org = 38:76:52:7c:87:26:9a:8f:4a:f8:d3:de:08:45:3b:ea:d6:4b:ee:cc
745 745
746 746 This feature is only supported when using Python 2.6 or later.
747 747
748 748
749 749 ``http_proxy``
750 750 """"""""""""""
751 751

753 753 proxy.
754 754
755 755 ``host``
756 756 Host name and (optional) port of the proxy server, for example
757 757 "myproxy:8000".
758 758
759 759 ``no``
760 760 Optional. Comma-separated list of host names that should bypass
761 761 the proxy.

764 764 Optional. Password to authenticate with at the proxy server.
765 765
766 766 ``user``
767 767 Optional. User name to authenticate with at the proxy server.
768 768
769 769 ``always``
770 770 Optional. Always use the proxy, even for localhost and any entries
771 771 in ``http_proxy.no``. True or False. Default: False.

774 774 """"""""""""""""""
775 775
776 776 This section specifies merge tools to associate with particular file

868 868 Default: None
869 869
870 870 ``regkeyalt``
871 871 An alternate Windows registry key to try if the first key is not
872 872 found. The alternate key uses the same ``regname`` and ``regappend``
873 873 semantics of the primary key. The most common use for this key

926 926 information about working with phases.
927 927
928 928 ``publish``
929 929 Controls draft phase behavior when working as a server. When true,
930 930 pushed changesets are set to public in both client and server and
931 931 pulled or cloned changesets are set to public in the client.

938 938 ``profiling``
939 939 """""""""""""
940 940
941 941 Specifies profiling type, format, and file output. Two profilers are
942 942 supported: an instrumenting profiler (named ``ls``), and a sampling
943 943 profiler (named ``stat``).
944 944
945 945 In this section description, 'profiling data' stands for the raw data
946 946 collected during profiling, while 'profiling report' stands for a
947 947 statistical text report generated from the profiling data. The
948 948 profiling is done using lsprof.
949 949
950 950 ``type``
951 951 The type of profiler to use.
952 952 Default: ls.
953 953
954 954 ``ls``
955 955 Use Python's built-in instrumenting profiler. This profiler
956 956 works on all platforms, but each line number it reports is the
957 957 first line of a function. This restriction makes it difficult to
958 958 identify the expensive parts of a non-trivial function.
959 959 ``stat``
960 960 Use a third-party statistical profiler, statprof. This profiler
961 961 currently runs only on Unix systems, and is most useful for
962 962 profiling commands that run for longer than about 0.1 seconds.
963 963
964 964 ``format``
965 965 Profiling format. Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
966 966 Default: text.
967 967
968 968 ``text``
969 969 Generate a profiling report. When saving to a file, it should be
970 970 noted that only the report is saved, and the profiling data is
971 971 not kept.
972 972 ``kcachegrind``
973 973 Format profiling data for kcachegrind use: when saving to a
974 974 file, the generated file can directly be loaded into
975 975 kcachegrind.
976 976
977 977 ``frequency``
978 978 Sampling frequency. Specific to the ``stat`` sampling profiler.
979 979 Default: 1000.
980 980
981 981 ``output``
982 982 File path where profiling data or report should be saved. If the
983 983 file exists, it is replaced. Default: None, data is printed on

993 993
994 994 Controls generic server settings.
995 995
996 996 ``uncompressed``
997 997 Whether to allow clients to clone a repository using the
998 998 uncompressed streaming protocol. This transfers about 40% more
999 999 data than a regular clone, but uses less memory and CPU on both
1000 1000 server and client. Over a LAN (100 Mbps or better) or a very fast
1001 1001 WAN, an uncompressed streaming clone is a lot faster (~10x) than a
1002 1002 regular clone. Over most WAN connections (anything slower than
1003 1003 about 6 Mbps), uncompressed streaming is slower, because of the
1004 1004 extra data transfer overhead. This mode will also temporarily hold
1005 1005 the write lock while determining what data to transfer.
1006 1006 Default is True.
1007 1007
1008 1008 ``preferuncompressed``
1009 1009 When set, clients will try to use the uncompressed streaming
1010 1010 protocol. Default is False.

1012 1012 ``validate``
1013 1013 Whether to validate the completeness of pushed changesets by
1014 1014 checking that all new file revisions specified in manifests are
1015 1015 present. Default is False.

1123 1123 A file to read per-user ignore patterns from. This file should be
1124 1124 in the same format as a repository-wide .hgignore file. This
1125 1125 option supports hook syntax, so if you want to specify multiple

1168 1168 Display paths using a slash (``/``) as the path separator. This
1169 1169 only makes a difference on systems where the default path
1170 1170 separator is not the slash character (e.g. Windows uses the

1332 1333 Whether to deny reading/viewing of the repository. If this list is
1333 1334 not empty, unauthenticated users are all denied, and any
1334 1335 authenticated user name present in this list is also denied access to
1335 1336 the repository. If set to the special value ``*``, all remote users
1336 1337 are denied access (rarely needed ;). If deny_read is empty or not set,
1337 1338 the determination of repository access depends on the presence and
1338 1339 content of the allow_read list (see description). If both
1339 1340 deny_read and allow_read are empty or not set, then access is
1340 1341 permitted to all users by default. If the repository is being
1341 1342 served via hgwebdir, denied users will not be able to see it in
1342 1343 the list of repositories. The contents of the deny_read list have
1343 1344 priority over (are examined before) the contents of the allow_read
1344 1345 list.
1345 1346
1346 1347 ``descend``
