Refactor diffrevs/diffdir into changes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Refactor diffrevs/diffdir into changes Add dirstate.changes to replace most of diffdir Add localrepository.changes to replace diffrevs/diffdir This code can now efficiently check for changes in single files, and often without consulting the manifest. This should eventually make 'hg diff Makefile' in a large project much faster. This also fixes a bug where 'hg diff -r tip' failed to account for files that had been added but not committed yet. manifest hash: 20fde5d4b4cee49a76bcfe50f2dacf58b1f2258b -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCxMxpywK+sNU5EO8RAhzOAJ9VLQJoC+hiRYQtTSPbDhXBEJfQZwCgpDx9 GAwQ9jZHNsgXckBfXNCkJV8= =hMuc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

MERCURIAL QUICK-START

Setting up Mercurial:

Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by
default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C
compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3.

First, unpack the source:

$ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz
$ cd mercurial-<ver>

To install system-wide:

$ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default

To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run:

$ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~
$ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # (or lib64/ on some systems)
$ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # add these to your .bashrc

And finally:

$ hg # test installation, show help

If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set
PYTHONPATH correctly.

Setting up a Mercurial project:

$ cd project/
$ hg init # creates .hg
$ hg status # show changes between repo and working dir
$ hg diff # generate a unidiff
$ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
$ hg export <rev> # export a changeset as a diff

Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your
repository contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file
paths.

Mercurial commands:

$ hg help [command] # get online help
$ hg history # show changesets
$ hg log Makefile # show commits per file
$ hg update # check out the tip revision
$ hg update <id> # check out a specified changeset
# IDs can be tags, revision numbers, or unique
# subsets of changeset hash numbers
$ hg add foo # add a new file for the next commit
$ hg remove bar # mark a file as removed
$ hg verify # check repo integrity
$ hg tags # show current tags
$ hg annotate [files] # show changeset numbers for each file line

Branching and merging:

$ cd ..
$ mkdir linux-work
$ cd linux-work
$ hg init ../linux # create a new branch
$ hg update # populate the working directory
$ <make changes>
$ hg commit
$ cd ../linux
$ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work
$ hg update -m # merge the new tip from linux-work into
# our working directory

Importing patches:

Fast:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg addremove
$ hg commit

Faster:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch`

Fastest:
$ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p

Exporting a patch:

(make changes)
$ hg commit
$ hg tip
28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190
$ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237

Network support:

# pull from the primary Mercurial repo
foo$ hg init
foo$ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/
foo$ hg update # hg co works too

# export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80

# pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH
foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/

# merge changes from a remote machine
bar$ hg pull http://foo/
bar$ hg update -m # merge changes into your working directory

# Set up a CGI server on your webserver
foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi
foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults

Symbolic repository names:

Mercurial uses an options file called ~/.hgrc. To track locations
symbolically, add a section to it like this:

[paths]
main = http://selenic.com/hg
linux = http://www.kernel.org/hg/
