reverse sense of return value from python hooks. old scheme (False/None/0/'' == fail) made coding style unnatural, did not allow use of mercurial commands as hooks. new scheme (False/None/0 == pass) is pythonic, does not require peculiar "return True" at ends of hooks, allows hooks like this: [hooks] # update working dir after push into this repo changegroup.update = python:mercurial.commands.update

#!/bin/sh

hg init a
cd a
hg init b
echo x > b/x
echo '# should print nothing'
hg st
echo '# should print ? b/x'
hg st b/x

hg add b/x

echo '# should print A b/x'
hg st
echo '# should forget b/x'
hg revert
echo '# should print nothing'
hg st b
