   109     Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more

   110     files at a time.

   111 

   112     By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended

   113     glob patterns.

   114 

   115     Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.

   116 

   117     To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a

   118     name with "path:".  These path names must match completely, from

   119     the root of the current repository.

   120 

   121     To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:".  Globs are

   122     rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match

   123     files ending in ".c" in the current directory only.

   124 

   125     The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string

   126     across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b".

   127 

   128     To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:".

   129     Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.

   130 

   131     Plain examples:

   132 

   133     path:foo/bar   a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of

   134                    the repository

   135     path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"

   136 

   137     Glob examples:

   138 

   139     glob:*.c       any name ending in ".c" in the current directory

   140     *.c            any name ending in ".c" in the current directory

   141     **.c           any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or

   142                    any subdirectory

   143     foo/*.c        any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo

   144     foo/**.c       any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any

   145                    subdirectory

   146 

   147     Regexp examples:

   148 

   149     re:.*\.c$      any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository
