1 What is "hg purge"? | |
2 =================== | |
3 "purge" is a simple extension for the Mercurial source control management | |
4 system (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial). | |
5 This extension adds a "purge" command to "hg" that removes files not known | |
6 to Mercurial, this is useful to test local and uncommitted changes in the | |
7 otherwise clean source tree. | |
8 | |
9 This means that Mercurial will delete: | |
10 - Unknown files: files marked with "?" by "hg status" | |
11 - Ignored files: files usually ignored by Mercurial because they match a | |
12 pattern in a ".hgignore" file | |
13 - Empty directories: infact Mercurial ignores directories unless they | |
14 contain files under source control managment | |
15 But it will leave untouched: | |
16 - Unmodified files tracked by Mercurial | |
17 - Modified files tracked by Mercurial | |
18 - New files added to the repository (with "hg add") | |
19 | |
20 Be careful with "hg purge", you could irreversibly delete some files you | |
21 forgot to add to the repository. If you only want to print the list of | |
22 files that this program would delete use: | |
23 hg purge --print | |
24 | |

27 | |
28 This program was inspired by the "cvspurge" script contained in CVS utilities | |
29 (http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/). | |
