3801 | 45 HGEDITOR:: |
46 This is the name of the editor to use when committing. Defaults to the | |
47 value of EDITOR. | |
48 | |
49 (deprecated, use .hgrc) | |
50 | |
51 HGENCODING:: | |
52 This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial. | |
53 This setting is used to convert data including usernames, | |
54 changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can | |
55 be overridden with the --encoding command-line option. | |
56 | |
57 HGENCODINGMODE:: | |
58 This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters | |
59 while transcoding user inputs. The default is "strict", which | |
60 causes Mercurial to abort if it can't translate a character. Other | |
61 settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and | |
62 "ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with | |
63 the --encodingmode command-line option. | |
64 | |
65 HGMERGE:: | |
66 An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program | |
67 will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file, | |
68 ancestor file. | |
69 | |
70 The default program is "hgmerge", which is a shell script provided | |
71 by Mercurial with some sensible defaults. | |
72 | |
73 (deprecated, use .hgrc) | |
74 | |
75 HGRCPATH:: | |
76 A list of files or directories to search for hgrc files. Item | |
77 separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH is not set, | |
78 platform default search path is used. If empty, only .hg/hgrc of | |
79 current repository is read. | |
80 | |
81 For each element in path, if a directory, all entries in directory | |
82 ending with ".rc" are added to path. Else, element itself is | |
83 added to path. | |
84 | |
85 HGUSER:: | |
86 This is the string used for the author of a commit. | |
87 | |
88 (deprecated, use .hgrc) | |
89 | |
90 EMAIL:: | |
91 If HGUSER is not set, this will be used as the author for a commit. | |
92 | |
93 LOGNAME:: | |
94 If neither HGUSER nor EMAIL is set, LOGNAME will be used (with | |
95 '@hostname' appended) as the author value for a commit. | |
96 | |
97 EDITOR:: | |
98 This is the name of the editor used in the hgmerge script. It will be | |
99 used for commit messages if HGEDITOR isn't set. Defaults to 'vi'. | |
100 | |
101 PYTHONPATH:: | |
102 This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be set | |
103 appropriately if Mercurial is not installed system-wide. | |

106 "patterns|File Name Patterns": r''' | |
107 Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more | |
108 files at a time. | |
109 | |
110 By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended | |
111 glob patterns. | |
112 | |
113 Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly. | |
114 | |
115 To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a | |
116 name with "path:". These path names must match completely, from | |
117 the root of the current repository. | |
118 | |
119 To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:". Globs are | |
120 rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match | |
121 files ending in ".c" in the current directory only. | |
122 | |
123 The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string | |
124 across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b". | |
125 | |
126 To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:". | |
127 Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository. | |
128 | |
129 Plain examples: | |
130 | |
131 path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of | |
132 the repository | |
133 path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name" | |
134 | |
135 Glob examples: | |
136 | |
137 glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory | |
138 *.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory | |
139 **.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or | |
140 any subdirectory | |
141 foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo | |
142 foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any | |
143 subdirectory | |
144 | |
145 Regexp examples: | |
146 | |
147 re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository | |
