Files
|
|
|
"""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
|
|
|
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
|
|
|
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
|
|
|
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
|
|
|
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``.hgignore``
|
|
|
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
|
|
|
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details,
|
|
|
see |hgignore(5)|_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``.hgsub``
|
|
|
This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and
|
|
|
tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see
|
|
|
:hg:`help subrepos`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``.hgsubstate``
|
|
|
This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This
|
|
|
file should not be edited manually.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
``.hgtags``
|
|
|
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
|
|
|
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
|
|
|
the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``.hg/last-message.txt``
|
|
|
This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
|
|
|
in case the commit fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``.hg/localtags``
|
|
|
This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
|
|
|
repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
|
|
|
encoded using the local system encoding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
|
|
|
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
|
|
|
it will be overwritten.
