commit: abort if a subrepo is modified and ui.commitsubrepos=no The default behaviour is to commit subrepositories with uncommitted changes. In my experience this is usually undesirable: - Changes to dependencies are often debugging leftovers - Real changes should generally be applied on the source project directly, tested then committed. This is not always possible, subversion subrepos may include only a small part of the source project, without the tests. Setting ui.commitsubrepos=no will now abort commits containing such modified subrepositories like: $ hg --config ui.commitsubrepos=no ci -m msg abort: uncommitted changes in subrepo sub I ruled out the hook solution because it does not easily take --include/exclude options in account. Also, my main concern is whether this flag could cause problems with extensions. If there are legitimate reasons for callers to override this behaviour (I could not find any), they might either override at ui level, or we could add an argument to localrepo.commit() later. v2: - Renamed ui.commitsubs to ui.commitsubrepos - Mention the configuration entry in hg help subrepos

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
