-What is "hg purge"?
-===================
-"purge" is a simple extension for the Mercurial source control management
-system (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial).
-This extension adds a "purge" command to "hg" that removes files not known
-to Mercurial, this is useful to test local and uncommitted changes in the
-otherwise clean source tree.
-
-This means that Mercurial will delete:
- - Unknown files: files marked with "?" by "hg status"
- - Ignored files: files usually ignored by Mercurial because they match a
-   pattern in a ".hgignore" file
- - Empty directories: infact Mercurial ignores directories unless they
-   contain files under source control managment
-But it will leave untouched:
- - Unmodified files tracked by Mercurial
- - Modified files tracked by Mercurial
- - New files added to the repository (with "hg add")
-
-Be careful with "hg purge", you could irreversibly delete some files you
-forgot to add to the repository. If you only want to print the list of
-files that this program would delete use:
-  hg purge -vn
-
-To get the most recent version of "hg purge" visit its home page:
-  http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#hg-purge
-
-This program was inspired by the "cvspurge" script contained in CVS utilities
-(http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/).
-
-
-How to install
-==============
-Obviously you need an installed version of Mercurial to use this extension.
-"purge" has been tested with Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9 but it may work with
-other versions as well.
-
-Put the "purge.py" file in a directory of your choice. Enable the extension
-inserting an instruction like "purge=/path/you/choose/purge.py" in the
-"[extensions]" section of a configuration file read by "hg".
-
-For instance if you installed the script in "/home/USER/hg-purge/", you
-can create a file named  ".hgrc" in your home directory with the following
-content:
-  [extensions]
-  purge=/home/USER/hg-purge/purge.py
-Note that using "~/USER/hg-purge/purge.py" does not work with hg 0.9.
-
-For more information on the configuration files see the man page for "hgrc":
-  man 5 hgrc
-
-
-How to use "hg purge"
-====================
-For help on the usage of "hg purge" use:
-  hg help purge
