convert: introduce --full for converting all files Convert will normally only process files that were changed in a source revision, apply the filemap, and record it has a change in the target repository. (If it ends up not really changing anything, nothing changes.) That means that _if_ the filemap is changed before continuing an incremental convert, the change will only kick in when the files it affects are modified in a source revision and thus processed. With --full, convert will make a full conversion every time and process all files in the source repo and remove target repo files that shouldn't be there. Filemap changes will thus kick in on the first converted revision, no matter what is changed. This flag should in most cases not make any difference but will make convert significantly slower. Other names has been considered for this feature, such as "resync", "sync", "checkunmodified", "all" or "allfiles", but I found that they were less obvious and required more explanation than "full" and were harder to describe consistently.

Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of
files.
Like other file patterns, this pattern type is indicated by a prefix,
'set:'. The language supports a number of predicates which are joined
by infix operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping.
Identifiers such as filenames or patterns must be quoted with single
or double quotes if they contain characters outside of
``[.*{}[]?/\_a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]`` or if they match one of the
predefined predicates. This generally applies to file patterns other
than globs and arguments for predicates.
Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them,
e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being
interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``.
There is a single prefix operator:
``not x``
Files not in x. Short form is ``! x``.
These are the supported infix operators:
``x and y``
The intersection of files in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``.
``x or y``
The union of files in x and y. There are two alternative short
forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``.
``x - y``
Files in x but not in y.
The following predicates are supported:

Some sample queries:
- Show status of files that appear to be binary in the working directory::
hg status -A "set:binary()"
- Forget files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked::
hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"
- Find text files that contain a string::
hg locate "set:grep(magic) and not binary()"
- Find C files in a non-standard encoding::
hg locate "set:**.c and not encoding('UTF-8')"
- Revert copies of large binary files::
hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')"
- Remove files listed in foo.lst that contain the letter a or b::
hg remove "set: 'listfile:foo.lst' and (**a* or **b*)"
