HGEDITOR:: |
|
42 |
This is the name of the editor to use when committing. Defaults to the |
|
43 |
value of EDITOR. |
|
44 |
||
45 |
(deprecated, use .hgrc) |
|
46 |
||
47 |
HGENCODING:: |
|
48 |
This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial. |
|
49 |
This setting is used to convert data including usernames, |
|
50 |
changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can |
|
51 |
be overridden with the --encoding command-line option. |
|
52 |
||
53 |
HGENCODINGMODE:: |
|
54 |
This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters |
|
55 |
while transcoding user inputs. The default is "strict", which |
|
56 |
causes Mercurial to abort if it can't translate a character. Other |
|
57 |
settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and |
|
58 |
"ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with |
|
59 |
the --encodingmode command-line option. |
|
60 |
||
61 |
HGMERGE:: |
|
62 |
An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program |
|
63 |
will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file, |
|
64 |
ancestor file. |
|
65 |
||
66 |
The default program is "hgmerge", which is a shell script provided |
|
67 |
by Mercurial with some sensible defaults. |
|
68 |
||
69 |
(deprecated, use .hgrc) |
|
70 |
||
71 |
HGRCPATH:: |
|
72 |
A list of files or directories to search for hgrc files. Item |
|
73 |
separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH is not set, |
|
74 |
platform default search path is used. If empty, only .hg/hgrc of |
|
75 |
current repository is read. |
|
76 |
||
77 |
For each element in path, if a directory, all entries in directory |
|
78 |
ending with ".rc" are added to path. Else, element itself is |
|
79 |
added to path. |
|
80 |
||
81 |
HGUSER:: |
|
82 |
This is the string used for the author of a commit. |
|
83 |
||
84 |
(deprecated, use .hgrc) |
|
85 |
||
86 |
EMAIL:: |
|
87 |
If HGUSER is not set, this will be used as the author for a commit. |
|
88 |
||
89 |
LOGNAME:: |
|
90 |
If neither HGUSER nor EMAIL is set, LOGNAME will be used (with |
|
91 |
'@hostname' appended) as the author value for a commit. |
|
92 |
||
93 |
EDITOR:: |
|
94 |
This is the name of the editor used in the hgmerge script. It will be |
|
95 |
used for commit messages if HGEDITOR isn't set. Defaults to 'vi'. |
|
96 |
||
97 |
PYTHONPATH:: |
|
98 |
This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be set |
|
99 |
appropriately if Mercurial is not installed system-wide. |

"patterns|File Name Patterns": r''' |
|
103 |
Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more |
|
104 |
files at a time. |
|
105 |
||
106 |
By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended |
|
107 |
glob patterns. |
|
108 |
||
109 |
Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly. |
|
110 |
||
111 |
To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a |
|
112 |
name with "path:". These path names must match completely, from |
|
113 |
the root of the current repository. |
|
114 |
||
115 |
To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:". Globs are |
|
116 |
rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match |
|
117 |
files ending in ".c" in the current directory only. |
|
118 |
||
119 |
The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string |
|
120 |
across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b". |
|
121 |
||
122 |
To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:". |
|
123 |
Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository. |
|
124 |
||
125 |
Plain examples: |
|
126 |
||
127 |
path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of |
|
128 |
the repository |
|
129 |
path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name" |
|
130 |
||
131 |
Glob examples: |
|
132 |
||
133 |
glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory |
|
134 |
*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory |
|
135 |
**.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or |
|
136 |
any subdirectory |
|
137 |
foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo |
|
138 |
foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any |
|
139 |
subdirectory |
|
140 |
||
141 |
Regexp examples: |
|
142 |
||
143 |
re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository |
|
