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 several ways to specify individual revisions.
A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
-2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
identifier.
A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
of exactly one full-length identifier.
Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":" character.
The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the
revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first
parent.
