+<h2>NAME</h2>
+<p>
+hg - command line interface to the Mercurial source code management system
+</p>
+<hr />
+<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<p>
+<em>hg</em> [-v -d -q -y] &lt;command&gt; [command options] [files]
+</p>
+<hr />
+<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p>
+The hg(1) command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.
+</p>
+<hr />
+<h2>NOTE</h2>
+<p>
+Many of the hg commands are not yet subdirectory and/or working directory
+aware.  This means that some commands will only work in the top level
+repository directory or will only accept paths and filenames relative to the
+top level.  Merges and commits, in particular, should be done in the
+top-level directory.
+</p>
+<hr />
+<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
+<dl>
+<dt>
+&#8212;debug, -d
+</dt>
+<dd>

+
+</dd>
+<dt>

+<h2>COMMAND ELEMENTS</h2>
+<dl>
+<dt>
+files &#8230;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    indicates one or more filename or relative path filenames
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+path

+<dd>
+
+    indicates a path on the local machine
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+revision
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    indicates a changeset which can be specified as a changeset id (int),
+    a tag, or a unique substring of the changeset hash value
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+repository path
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    is either the pathname of a local repository of the URI of a remote
+    repository.  There are two available URI protocols, hg:// which is
+    fast and the http:// protocol which is much slower but does not require
+    python on the web host.
+
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<hr />
+<h2>COMMANDS</h2>
+<dl>
+<dt>
+add [files &#8230;]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    add the given files to the repository.  Note that this just schedules the
+    files for addition at the next hg commit time.
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+addremove
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    add all new files and remove all missing files from the repository.  new
+    files are ignored if they match any of the patterns in .hgignore
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+annotate [-r revision -u -n -c] [files &#8230;]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    list the files with each line showing the revision id responsible
+    for that line.  -u will add the author to the revision id, -c will
+    print the changeset hash, and -n will &#8230;
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+branch &lt;path&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    create a new branch of the repository indicated by path in the current
+    directory.  Note that there should not be a repository already initialized
+    in the current directory
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+checkout [revision]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    check out the indicated version of the repository into the working
+    directory.  Note that currently no merge occurs with changed files
+    in the working dir.
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+commit
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    commit all changed files in the working dir to the repository.  This uses
+    the EDITOR environment variable to bring up an editor to add a commit
+    comment.
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+diff [-r revision] [-r revision] [files &#8230;]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    generate a unified diff of the indicated files.  If there are no
+    revisions specified, the working directory file is compared to
+    the tip, one revision specified indicates a comparison between the
+    working directory file and the specified revision, two revisions
+    compares the two versions specified.
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+dump &lt;file&gt; [revision]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    print the indicated revision of the file
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+dumpmanifest [revision]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    print the indicated revision of the manifest (list of version controlled
+    files)
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+history
+</dt>
+<dd>

+    print the revision history of the repository
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+init
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    initialize a repository in the current directory
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+log &lt;file&gt;

+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+merge &lt;repository path&gt;
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    pull any changes from the specified repository to the repository in the
+    current directory.  Use the value of the HGMERGE environment variable
+    as a program to resolve any merge conflicts between the two repositories.
+    An implicit commit is done at the end of this process if there were any
+    merge conflicts.  Note that merge does not yet merge with changed files
+    in the working dir.
+
+</dd>
+<dt>
+remove [files &#8230;]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    schedule the indicated files for removal from the repository at the next
+    commit

+<dt>
+serve [-a addr -n name -p port -t templatedir]
+</dt>
+<dd>
+
+    this will start an http server, by default on port 8000, that will

+    port to listen on, -n the name of the repository and -t sets the
+    location of the template directory.
