   Using Additional Features
   """""""""""""""""""""""""
   
       Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
       extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to existing
       commands, change the default behavior of commands, or implement hooks.
   
       To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
       Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
       like this:
   
         [extensions]
         foo =
   
       You may also specify the full path to an extension:
   
         [extensions]
         myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
   
       See 'hg help config' for more information on configuration files.
   
       Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can
       increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced usage only; they
       may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such as letting you destroy
       or modify history); they might not be ready for prime time; or they may
       alter some usual behaviors of stock Mercurial. It is thus up to the user
       to activate extensions as needed.
   
       To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
       broader scope, prepend its path with !:
   
         [extensions]
         # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
         bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
         # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
         baz = !
   
       enabled extensions:
   
        children      command to display child changesets (DEPRECATED)
        rebase        command to move sets of revisions to a different ancestor
   
       disabled extensions:
   
        acl           hooks for controlling repository access
        blackbox      log repository events to a blackbox for debugging
        bugzilla      hooks for integrating with the Bugzilla bug tracker
        censor        erase file content at a given revision
        churn         command to display statistics about repository history
        clonebundles  advertise pre-generated bundles to seed clones
        closehead     close arbitrary heads without checking them out first
        convert       import revisions from foreign VCS repositories into
                      Mercurial
        eol           automatically manage newlines in repository files
        extdiff       command to allow external programs to compare revisions
        factotum      http authentication with factotum

       Verify the integrity of the current repository.
   
       This will perform an extensive check of the repository's integrity,
       validating the hashes and checksums of each entry in the changelog,
       manifest, and tracked files, as well as the integrity of their crosslinks
       and indices.
   
       Please see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RepositoryCorruption for more

   $ hg help diff
   hg diff [OPTION]... ([-c REV] | [-r REV1 [-r REV2]]) [FILE]...
   
   diff repository (or selected files)
   
       Show differences between revisions for the specified files.
   
       Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format.
   
       Note:
          'hg diff' may generate unexpected results for merges, as it will
          default to comparing against the working directory's first parent
          changeset if no revisions are specified.
   
       When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown between
       those revisions. If only one revision is specified then that revision is
       compared to the working directory, and, when no revisions are specified,
       the working directory files are compared to its first parent.
   
       Alternatively you can specify -c/--change with a revision to see the
       changes in that changeset relative to its first parent.
   
       Without the -a/--text option, diff will avoid generating diffs of files it
       detects as binary. With -a, diff will generate a diff anyway, probably
       with undesirable results.
   
       Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff format.
       For more information, read 'hg help diffs'.
   
       Returns 0 on success.
   
   options ([+] can be repeated):
   
    -r --rev REV [+]         revision
    -c --change REV          change made by revision
    -a --text                treat all files as text
    -g --git                 use git extended diff format
       --binary              generate binary diffs in git mode (default)
       --nodates             omit dates from diff headers
       --noprefix            omit a/ and b/ prefixes from filenames
    -p --show-function       show which function each change is in
       --reverse             produce a diff that undoes the changes
    -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
    -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
    -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
    -Z --ignore-space-at-eol ignore changes in whitespace at EOL
    -U --unified NUM         number of lines of context to show
       --stat                output diffstat-style summary of changes
       --root DIR            produce diffs relative to subdirectory
    -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
    -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
    -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   
   (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
 
   $ hg help status
   hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]...
   
   aliases: st
   
   show changed files in the working directory
   
       Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only files
       that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or the source of a
       copy/move operation, are not listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored,
       -C/--copies or -A/--all are given. Unless options described with "show
       only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used.
   
       Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless
       explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.
   
       Note:
          'hg status' may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have
          changed or a merge has occurred. The standard diff format does not
          report permission changes and diff only reports changes relative to one
          merge parent.
   
       If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision. If two
       revisions are given, the differences between them are shown. The --change
       option can also be used as a shortcut to list the changed files of a
       revision from its first parent.
   
       The codes used to show the status of files are:
   
         M = modified
         A = added
         R = removed
         C = clean
         ! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
         ? = not tracked
         I = ignored
           = origin of the previous file (with --copies)
   
       Returns 0 on success.
   
   options ([+] can be repeated):
   
    -A --all                 show status of all files
    -m --modified            show only modified files
    -a --added               show only added files
    -r --removed             show only removed files
    -d --deleted             show only deleted (but tracked) files
    -c --clean               show only files without changes
    -u --unknown             show only unknown (not tracked) files
    -i --ignored             show only ignored files
    -n --no-status           hide status prefix
    -C --copies              show source of copied files

   $ hg help internals.changegroups
   Changegroups
   """"""""""""
   
       Changegroups are representations of repository revlog data, specifically
       the changelog data, root/flat manifest data, treemanifest data, and
       filelogs.
   
       There are 3 versions of changegroups: "1", "2", and "3". From a high-
       level, versions "1" and "2" are almost exactly the same, with the only
       difference being an additional item in the *delta header*. Version "3"
       adds support for storage flags in the *delta header* and optionally
       exchanging treemanifests (enabled by setting an option on the
       "changegroup" part in the bundle2).
   
       Changegroups when not exchanging treemanifests consist of 3 logical
       segments:
   
         +---------------------------------+
         |           |          |          |
         | changeset | manifest | filelogs |
         |           |          |          |
         |           |          |          |
         +---------------------------------+
   
       When exchanging treemanifests, there are 4 logical segments:
   
         +-------------------------------------------------+
         |           |          |               |          |
         | changeset |   root   | treemanifests | filelogs |
         |           | manifest |               |          |
         |           |          |               |          |
         +-------------------------------------------------+
   
       The principle building block of each segment is a *chunk*. A *chunk* is a
       framed piece of data:
   
         +---------------------------------------+
         |           |                           |
         |  length   |           data            |
         | (4 bytes) |   (<length - 4> bytes)    |
         |           |                           |
         +---------------------------------------+
   
       All integers are big-endian signed integers. Each chunk starts with a
       32-bit integer indicating the length of the entire chunk (including the
       length field itself).
   
       There is a special case chunk that has a value of 0 for the length
       ("0x00000000"). We call this an *empty chunk*.
   
       Delta Groups
       ============
   
       A *delta group* expresses the content of a revlog as a series of deltas,
       or patches against previous revisions.
   
       Delta groups consist of 0 or more *chunks* followed by the *empty chunk*
       to signal the end of the delta group:
   
         +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
         |                |             |               |             |           |
         | chunk0 length  | chunk0 data | chunk1 length | chunk1 data |    0x0    |
         |   (4 bytes)    |  (various)  |   (4 bytes)   |  (various)  | (4 bytes) |
         |                |             |               |             |           |
         +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   
       Each *chunk*'s data consists of the following:
   
         +---------------------------------------+
         |                        |              |
         |     delta header       |  delta data  |
         |  (various by version)  |  (various)   |
         |                        |              |
         +---------------------------------------+
   
       The *delta data* is a series of *delta*s that describe a diff from an
       existing entry (either that the recipient already has, or previously
       specified in the bundle/changegroup).
   
       The *delta header* is different between versions "1", "2", and "3" of the
       changegroup format.
   
       Version 1 (headerlen=80):
   
         +------------------------------------------------------+
         |            |             |             |             |
         |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   |  link node  |
         | (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |
         |            |             |             |             |
         +------------------------------------------------------+
   
       Version 2 (headerlen=100):
   
         +------------------------------------------------------------------+
         |            |             |             |            |            |
         |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   | base node  | link node  |
         | (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) |
         |            |             |             |            |            |
         +------------------------------------------------------------------+
   
       Version 3 (headerlen=102):
   
         +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
         |            |             |             |            |            |           |
         |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   | base node  | link node  |   flags   |
         | (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) | (2 bytes) |
         |            |             |             |            |            |           |
         +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   
       The *delta data* consists of "chunklen - 4 - headerlen" bytes, which
       contain a series of *delta*s, densely packed (no separators). These deltas
       describe a diff from an existing entry (either that the recipient already
       has, or previously specified in the bundle/changegroup). The format is
       described more fully in "hg help internals.bdiff", but briefly:
   
         +---------------------------------------------------------------+
         |              |            |            |                      |
         | start offset | end offset | new length |        content       |
         |  (4 bytes)   |  (4 bytes) |  (4 bytes) | (<new length> bytes) |
         |              |            |            |                      |
         +---------------------------------------------------------------+
   
       Please note that the length field in the delta data does *not* include
       itself.
   
       In version 1, the delta is always applied against the previous node from
       the changegroup or the first parent if this is the first entry in the
       changegroup.
   
       In version 2 and up, the delta base node is encoded in the entry in the
       changegroup. This allows the delta to be expressed against any parent,
       which can result in smaller deltas and more efficient encoding of data.
   
       The *flags* field holds bitwise flags affecting the processing of revision
       data. The following flags are defined:
   
       32768
          Censored revision. The revision's fulltext has been replaced by censor
          metadata. May only occur on file revisions.
   
       16384
          Ellipsis revision. Revision hash does not match data (likely due to
          rewritten parents).
   
       8192
          Externally stored. The revision fulltext contains "key:value" "\n"
          delimited metadata defining an object stored elsewhere. Used by the LFS
          extension.
   
       For historical reasons, the integer values are identical to revlog version
       1 per-revision storage flags and correspond to bits being set in this
       2-byte field. Bits were allocated starting from the most-significant bit,
       hence the reverse ordering and allocation of these flags.
   
       Changeset Segment
       =================
   
       The *changeset segment* consists of a single *delta group* holding
       changelog data. The *empty chunk* at the end of the *delta group* denotes
       the boundary to the *manifest segment*.
   
       Manifest Segment
       ================
   
       The *manifest segment* consists of a single *delta group* holding manifest
       data. If treemanifests are in use, it contains only the manifest for the
       root directory of the repository. Otherwise, it contains the entire
       manifest data. The *empty chunk* at the end of the *delta group* denotes
       the boundary to the next segment (either the *treemanifests segment* or
       the *filelogs segment*, depending on version and the request options).
   
       Treemanifests Segment
       ---------------------
   
       The *treemanifests segment* only exists in changegroup version "3", and
       only if the 'treemanifest' param is part of the bundle2 changegroup part
       (it is not possible to use changegroup version 3 outside of bundle2).
       Aside from the filenames in the *treemanifests segment* containing a
       trailing "/" character, it behaves identically to the *filelogs segment*
       (see below). The final sub-segment is followed by an *empty chunk*
       (logically, a sub-segment with filename size 0). This denotes the boundary
       to the *filelogs segment*.
   
       Filelogs Segment
       ================
   
       The *filelogs segment* consists of multiple sub-segments, each
       corresponding to an individual file whose data is being described:
   
         +--------------------------------------------------+
         |          |          |          |     |           |
         | filelog0 | filelog1 | filelog2 | ... |    0x0    |
         |          |          |          |     | (4 bytes) |
         |          |          |          |     |           |
         +--------------------------------------------------+
   
       The final filelog sub-segment is followed by an *empty chunk* (logically,
       a sub-segment with filename size 0). This denotes the end of the segment
       and of the overall changegroup.
   
       Each filelog sub-segment consists of the following:
   
         +------------------------------------------------------+
         |                 |                      |             |
         | filename length |       filename       | delta group |
         |    (4 bytes)    | (<length - 4> bytes) |  (various)  |
         |                 |                      |             |
         +------------------------------------------------------+
   
       That is, a *chunk* consisting of the filename (not terminated or padded)
       followed by N chunks constituting the *delta group* for this file. The
       *empty chunk* at the end of each *delta group* denotes the boundary to the
       next filelog sub-segment.

   $ hg help dates
   Date Formats
   """"""""""""
   
       Some commands allow the user to specify a date, e.g.:
   
       - backout, commit, import, tag: Specify the commit date.
       - log, revert, update: Select revision(s) by date.
   
       Many date formats are valid. Here are some examples:
   
       - "Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006" (local timezone assumed)
       - "Dec 6 13:18 -0600" (year assumed, time offset provided)
       - "Dec 6 13:18 UTC" (UTC and GMT are aliases for +0000)
       - "Dec 6" (midnight)
       - "13:18" (today assumed)
       - "3:39" (3:39AM assumed)
       - "3:39pm" (15:39)
       - "2006-12-06 13:18:29" (ISO 8601 format)
       - "2006-12-6 13:18"
       - "2006-12-6"
       - "12-6"
       - "12/6"
       - "12/6/6" (Dec 6 2006)
       - "today" (midnight)
       - "yesterday" (midnight)
       - "now" - right now
   
       Lastly, there is Mercurial's internal format:
   
       - "1165411109 0" (Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 UTC)
   
       This is the internal representation format for dates. The first number is
       the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). The second
       is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC (negative if
       the timezone is east of UTC).
   
       The log command also accepts date ranges:
   
       - "<DATE" - at or before a given date/time
       - ">DATE" - on or after a given date/time
       - "DATE to DATE" - a date range, inclusive
       - "-DAYS" - within a given number of days of today

           The committer of a changeset created when running "commit". Typically
           a person's name and email address, e.g. "Fred Widget
           <[e-mail]>". Environment variables in the username are
           expanded.
   
           (default: "$EMAIL" or "username@hostname". If the username in hgrc is
           empty, e.g. if the system admin set "username =" in the system hgrc,
           it has to be specified manually or in a different hgrc file)

           "linear", and "noconflict". "abort" always fails if the working
           directory has uncommitted changes. "none" performs no checking, and
           may result in a merge with uncommitted changes. "linear" allows any
           update as long as it follows a straight line in the revision history,
           and may trigger a merge with uncommitted changes. "noconflict" will
           allow any update which would not trigger a merge with uncommitted
           changes, if any are present. (default: "linear")

   $ hg help revset.merge
       "merge()"
         Changeset is a merge changeset.
   
   $ hg help glossary.dag
       DAG
           The repository of changesets of a distributed version control system
           (DVCS) can be described as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), consisting
           of nodes and edges, where nodes correspond to changesets and edges
           imply a parent -> child relation. This graph can be visualized by
           graphical tools such as 'hg log --graph'. In Mercurial, the DAG is
           limited by the requirement for children to have at most two parents.
   
 
   $ hg help hgrc.paths
       "paths"
       -------
   
       Assigns symbolic names and behavior to repositories.
   
       Options are symbolic names defining the URL or directory that is the
       location of the repository. Example:
   
         [paths]
         my_server = https://example.com/my_repo
         local_path = /home/me/repo
   
       These symbolic names can be used from the command line. To pull from
       "my_server": 'hg pull my_server'. To push to "local_path": 'hg push
       local_path'.
   
       Options containing colons (":") denote sub-options that can influence
       behavior for that specific path. Example:
   
         [paths]
         my_server = https://example.com/my_path
         my_server:pushurl = ssh://example.com/my_path
   
       The following sub-options can be defined:
   
       "pushurl"
          The URL to use for push operations. If not defined, the location
          defined by the path's main entry is used.
   
       "pushrev"
          A revset defining which revisions to push by default.
   
          When 'hg push' is executed without a "-r" argument, the revset defined
          by this sub-option is evaluated to determine what to push.
   
          For example, a value of "." will push the working directory's revision
          by default.
   
          Revsets specifying bookmarks will not result in the bookmark being
          pushed.
   
       The following special named paths exist:
   
       "default"
          The URL or directory to use when no source or remote is specified.
   
          'hg clone' will automatically define this path to the location the
          repository was cloned from.
   
       "default-push"
          (deprecated) The URL or directory for the default 'hg push' location.
          "default:pushurl" should be used instead.

                     this changeset.
       files(pattern)
                     All files of the current changeset matching the pattern. See
                     'hg help patterns'.
 
 Test section lookup by translated message
 
 str.lower() instead of encoding.lower(str) on translated message might
 make message meaningless, because some encoding uses 0x41(A) - 0x5a(Z)
 as the second or later byte of multi-byte character.
 
 For example, "\x8bL\x98^" (translation of "record" in ja_JP.cp932)
 contains 0x4c (L). str.lower() replaces 0x4c(L) by 0x6c(l) and this
 replacement makes message meaningless.
 
 This tests that section lookup by translated string isn't broken by
 such str.lower().

       To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
   
       A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged file.
       Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common ancestor of
       the two file versions, so they can determine the changes made on both
       branches.
   
       Merge tools are used both for 'hg resolve', 'hg merge', 'hg update', 'hg
       backout' and in several extensions.
   
       Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by
       combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in the two
       different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some
       interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve conflicting
       merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some conflict markers.
       Mercurial does not include any interactive merge programs but relies on
       external tools for that.
   
       Available merge tools
       =====================
   
       External merge tools and their properties are configured in the merge-
       tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just be
       named by their executable.
   
       A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the
       system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it is an
       absolute or relative executable path or the name of an application in the
       executable search path. The tool is assumed to be able to handle the merge
       if it can handle symlinks if the file is a symlink, if it can handle
       binary files if the file is binary, and if a GUI is available if the tool
       requires a GUI.
   
       There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal merge
       tools are:
   
       ":dump"
         Creates three versions of the files to merge, containing the contents of
         local, other and base. These files can then be used to perform a merge
         manually. If the file to be merged is named "a.txt", these files will
         accordingly be named "a.txt.local", "a.txt.other" and "a.txt.base" and
         they will be placed in the same directory as "a.txt".
   
         This implies premerge. Therefore, files aren't dumped, if premerge runs
         successfully. Use :forcedump to forcibly write files out.
   
         (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)
   
       ":fail"
         Rather than attempting to merge files that were modified on both
         branches, it marks them as unresolved. The resolve command must be used
         to resolve these conflicts.
   
         (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)
   
       ":forcedump"
         Creates three versions of the files as same as :dump, but omits
         premerge.
   
         (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)
   
       ":local"
         Uses the local 'p1()' version of files as the merged version.
   
         (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)
   
       ":merge"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
         partially merged file. Markers will have two sections, one for each side
         of merge.
   
       ":merge-local"
         Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the
         local 'p1()' changes.
   
       ":merge-other"
         Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the
         other 'p2()' changes.
   
       ":merge3"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
         partially merged file. Marker will have three sections, one from each
         side of the merge and one for the base content.
   
       ":other"
         Uses the other 'p2()' version of files as the merged version.
   
         (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)
   
       ":prompt"
         Asks the user which of the local 'p1()' or the other 'p2()' version to
         keep as the merged version.
   
         (actual capabilities: binary, symlink)
   
       ":tagmerge"
         Uses the internal tag merge algorithm (experimental).
   
       ":union"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will use both left and right sides for conflict regions. No
         markers are inserted.
   
       Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by
       default not handle symlinks or binary files. See next section for detail
       about "actual capabilities" described above.
   
       Choosing a merge tool
       =====================
   
       Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
   
       1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or
          resolve, it is used.  If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools
          configuration, its configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool
          must be executable by the shell.
       2. If the "HGMERGE" environment variable is present, its value is used and
          must be executable by the shell.
       3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in
          the merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool
          corresponding to a matching pattern is used.
       4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the
          name of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be
          executable by the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is
          usable.
       5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration
          section, the one with the highest priority is used.
       6. If a program named "hgmerge" can be found on the system, it is used -
          but it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
       7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then
          internal ":merge" is used.
       8. Otherwise, ":prompt" is used.
   
       For historical reason, Mercurial treats merge tools as below while
       examining rules above.
   
       step specified via  binary symlink
       ----------------------------------
       1.   --tool         o/o    o/o
       2.   HGMERGE        o/o    o/o
       3.   merge-patterns o/o(*) x/?(*)
       4.   ui.merge       x/?(*) x/?(*)
   
       Each capability column indicates Mercurial behavior for internal/external
       merge tools at examining each rule.
   
       - "o": "assume that a tool has capability"
       - "x": "assume that a tool does not have capability"
       - "?": "check actual capability of a tool"
   
       If "merge.strict-capability-check" configuration is true, Mercurial checks
       capabilities of merge tools strictly in (*) cases above (= each capability
       column becomes "?/?"). It is false by default for backward compatibility.
   
       Note:
          After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt to
          merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it
          doesn't succeed because of conflicting changes will Mercurial actually
          execute the merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm
          first can be controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool.
          Premerge is enabled by default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
   
       See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the
       configuration of merge tools.
 
 Compression engines listed in `hg help bundlespec`
 
   $ hg help bundlespec | grep gzip
           "v1" bundles can only use the "gzip", "bzip2", and "none" compression
         An algorithm that produces smaller bundles than "gzip".
         This engine will likely produce smaller bundles than "gzip" but will be
       "gzip"
         better compression than "gzip". It also frequently yields better (?)

   <h1>Date Formats</h1>
   <p>
   Some commands allow the user to specify a date, e.g.:
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li> backout, commit, import, tag: Specify the commit date.
    <li> log, revert, update: Select revision(s) by date.
   </ul>
   <p>
   Many date formats are valid. Here are some examples:
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li> &quot;Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006&quot; (local timezone assumed)
    <li> &quot;Dec 6 13:18 -0600&quot; (year assumed, time offset provided)
    <li> &quot;Dec 6 13:18 UTC&quot; (UTC and GMT are aliases for +0000)
    <li> &quot;Dec 6&quot; (midnight)
    <li> &quot;13:18&quot; (today assumed)
    <li> &quot;3:39&quot; (3:39AM assumed)
    <li> &quot;3:39pm&quot; (15:39)
    <li> &quot;2006-12-06 13:18:29&quot; (ISO 8601 format)
    <li> &quot;2006-12-6 13:18&quot;
    <li> &quot;2006-12-6&quot;
    <li> &quot;12-6&quot;
    <li> &quot;12/6&quot;
    <li> &quot;12/6/6&quot; (Dec 6 2006)
    <li> &quot;today&quot; (midnight)
    <li> &quot;yesterday&quot; (midnight)
    <li> &quot;now&quot; - right now
   </ul>
   <p>
   Lastly, there is Mercurial's internal format:
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li> &quot;1165411109 0&quot; (Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 UTC)
   </ul>
   <p>
   This is the internal representation format for dates. The first number
   is the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). The
   second is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC
   (negative if the timezone is east of UTC).
   </p>
   <p>
   The log command also accepts date ranges:
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li> &quot;&lt;DATE&quot; - at or before a given date/time
    <li> &quot;&gt;DATE&quot; - on or after a given date/time
    <li> &quot;DATE to DATE&quot; - a date range, inclusive
    <li> &quot;-DAYS&quot; - within a given number of days of today
   </ul>

   <h1>Pager Support</h1>
   <p>
   Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will
   attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant.
   </p>
   <p>
   To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:
   </p>
   <pre>
   [pager]
   pager = less -FRX
   </pre>
   <p>
   If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the
   environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default
   or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will
   be used, typically 'less' on Unix and 'more' on Windows.
   </p>
   <p>
   You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
   pager.ignore list:
   </p>
   <pre>
   [pager]
   ignore = version, help, update
   </pre>
   <p>
   To ignore global commands like 'hg version' or 'hg help', you have
   to specify them in your user configuration file.
   </p>
   <p>
   To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command,
   you can use --pager=&lt;value&gt;:
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li> use as needed: 'auto'.
    <li> require the pager: 'yes' or 'on'.
    <li> suppress the pager: 'no' or 'off' (any unrecognized value   will also work).
   </ul>
   <p>
   To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set:
   </p>
   <pre>
   [ui]
   paginate = never
   </pre>
   <p>
   which will prevent the pager from running.

   <h1>Changegroups</h1>
   <p>
   Changegroups are representations of repository revlog data, specifically
   the changelog data, root/flat manifest data, treemanifest data, and
   filelogs.
   </p>
   <p>
   There are 3 versions of changegroups: &quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, and &quot;3&quot;. From a
   high-level, versions &quot;1&quot; and &quot;2&quot; are almost exactly the same, with the
   only difference being an additional item in the *delta header*. Version
   &quot;3&quot; adds support for storage flags in the *delta header* and optionally
   exchanging treemanifests (enabled by setting an option on the
   &quot;changegroup&quot; part in the bundle2).
   </p>
   <p>
   Changegroups when not exchanging treemanifests consist of 3 logical
   segments:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +---------------------------------+
   |           |          |          |
   | changeset | manifest | filelogs |
   |           |          |          |
   |           |          |          |
   +---------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   When exchanging treemanifests, there are 4 logical segments:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +-------------------------------------------------+
   |           |          |               |          |
   | changeset |   root   | treemanifests | filelogs |
   |           | manifest |               |          |
   |           |          |               |          |
   +-------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   The principle building block of each segment is a *chunk*. A *chunk*
   is a framed piece of data:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +---------------------------------------+
   |           |                           |
   |  length   |           data            |
   | (4 bytes) |   (&lt;length - 4&gt; bytes)    |
   |           |                           |
   +---------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   All integers are big-endian signed integers. Each chunk starts with a 32-bit
   integer indicating the length of the entire chunk (including the length field
   itself).
   </p>
   <p>
   There is a special case chunk that has a value of 0 for the length
   (&quot;0x00000000&quot;). We call this an *empty chunk*.
   </p>
   <h2>Delta Groups</h2>
   <p>
   A *delta group* expresses the content of a revlog as a series of deltas,
   or patches against previous revisions.
   </p>
   <p>
   Delta groups consist of 0 or more *chunks* followed by the *empty chunk*
   to signal the end of the delta group:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   |                |             |               |             |           |
   | chunk0 length  | chunk0 data | chunk1 length | chunk1 data |    0x0    |
   |   (4 bytes)    |  (various)  |   (4 bytes)   |  (various)  | (4 bytes) |
   |                |             |               |             |           |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   Each *chunk*'s data consists of the following:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +---------------------------------------+
   |                        |              |
   |     delta header       |  delta data  |
   |  (various by version)  |  (various)   |
   |                        |              |
   +---------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   The *delta data* is a series of *delta*s that describe a diff from an existing
   entry (either that the recipient already has, or previously specified in the
   bundle/changegroup).
   </p>
   <p>
   The *delta header* is different between versions &quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, and
   &quot;3&quot; of the changegroup format.
   </p>
   <p>
   Version 1 (headerlen=80):
   </p>
   <pre>
   +------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   Version 2 (headerlen=100):
   </p>
   <pre>
   +------------------------------------------------------------------+
   |            |             |             |            |            |
   |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   | base node  | link node  |

   +------------------------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   Version 3 (headerlen=102):
   </p>
   <pre>
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   |            |             |             |            |            |           |
   |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   | base node  | link node  |   flags   |
   | (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) | (2 bytes) |
   |            |             |             |            |            |           |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   The *delta data* consists of &quot;chunklen - 4 - headerlen&quot; bytes, which contain a
   series of *delta*s, densely packed (no separators). These deltas describe a diff
   from an existing entry (either that the recipient already has, or previously
   specified in the bundle/changegroup). The format is described more fully in
   &quot;hg help internals.bdiff&quot;, but briefly:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +---------------------------------------------------------------+
   |              |            |            |                      |
   | start offset | end offset | new length |        content       |
   |  (4 bytes)   |  (4 bytes) |  (4 bytes) | (&lt;new length&gt; bytes) |
   |              |            |            |                      |
   +---------------------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   Please note that the length field in the delta data does *not* include itself.
   </p>
   <p>
   In version 1, the delta is always applied against the previous node from
   the changegroup or the first parent if this is the first entry in the
   changegroup.
   </p>
   <p>
   In version 2 and up, the delta base node is encoded in the entry in the
   changegroup. This allows the delta to be expressed against any parent,
   which can result in smaller deltas and more efficient encoding of data.
   </p>
   <p>
   The *flags* field holds bitwise flags affecting the processing of revision
   data. The following flags are defined:
   </p>
   <dl>
    <dt>32768
    <dd>Censored revision. The revision's fulltext has been replaced by censor metadata. May only occur on file revisions.
    <dt>16384
    <dd>Ellipsis revision. Revision hash does not match data (likely due to rewritten parents).
    <dt>8192
    <dd>Externally stored. The revision fulltext contains &quot;key:value&quot; &quot;\n&quot; delimited metadata defining an object stored elsewhere. Used by the LFS extension.
   </dl>
   <p>
   For historical reasons, the integer values are identical to revlog version 1
   per-revision storage flags and correspond to bits being set in this 2-byte
   field. Bits were allocated starting from the most-significant bit, hence the
   reverse ordering and allocation of these flags.
   </p>
   <h2>Changeset Segment</h2>
   <p>
   The *changeset segment* consists of a single *delta group* holding
   changelog data. The *empty chunk* at the end of the *delta group* denotes
   the boundary to the *manifest segment*.
   </p>
   <h2>Manifest Segment</h2>
   <p>
   The *manifest segment* consists of a single *delta group* holding manifest
   data. If treemanifests are in use, it contains only the manifest for the
   root directory of the repository. Otherwise, it contains the entire
   manifest data. The *empty chunk* at the end of the *delta group* denotes
   the boundary to the next segment (either the *treemanifests segment* or the
   *filelogs segment*, depending on version and the request options).
   </p>
   <h3>Treemanifests Segment</h3>
   <p>
   The *treemanifests segment* only exists in changegroup version &quot;3&quot;, and
   only if the 'treemanifest' param is part of the bundle2 changegroup part
   (it is not possible to use changegroup version 3 outside of bundle2).
   Aside from the filenames in the *treemanifests segment* containing a
   trailing &quot;/&quot; character, it behaves identically to the *filelogs segment*
   (see below). The final sub-segment is followed by an *empty chunk* (logically,
   a sub-segment with filename size 0). This denotes the boundary to the
   *filelogs segment*.
   </p>
   <h2>Filelogs Segment</h2>
   <p>
   The *filelogs segment* consists of multiple sub-segments, each
   corresponding to an individual file whose data is being described:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +--------------------------------------------------+
   |          |          |          |     |           |
   | filelog0 | filelog1 | filelog2 | ... |    0x0    |
   |          |          |          |     | (4 bytes) |
   |          |          |          |     |           |
   +--------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   The final filelog sub-segment is followed by an *empty chunk* (logically,
   a sub-segment with filename size 0). This denotes the end of the segment
   and of the overall changegroup.
   </p>
   <p>
   Each filelog sub-segment consists of the following:
   </p>
   <pre>
   +------------------------------------------------------+
   |                 |                      |             |
   | filename length |       filename       | delta group |
   |    (4 bytes)    | (&lt;length - 4&gt; bytes) |  (various)  |
   |                 |                      |             |
   +------------------------------------------------------+
   </pre>
   <p>
   That is, a *chunk* consisting of the filename (not terminated or padded)
   followed by N chunks constituting the *delta group* for this file. The
   *empty chunk* at the end of each *delta group* denotes the boundary to the
   next filelog sub-segment.
