mq: qpop should act like quilt pop
qpop patchname would pop the named patch off the stack. This is slightly
different from how quilt pop works. quilt pop pops everything up to the
named patch.

Welcome to Mercurial for Windows! --------------------------------- For configuration and usage directions, please read the ReadMe.html file that comes with this package. Release Notes ------------- 2006-07-24 v0.9.1 Major changes between Mercurial 0.9 and 0.9.1: New features: - You can now configure your 'hgweb' server to let remote users 'push' changes over http. - You can now 'import' a patch in a mail message by saving the mail message, and importing it. This works for patches sent either inline or as attachments. - The 'diff' command now accepts '-rA:B' syntax as a synonym for '-r A -r B', and adds '-b' and '-B' options. New contributions and extensions: - The 'acl' extension lets you lock down parts of a repository against incoming changes - The 'extdiff' extension lets you run your favourite graphical change viewer - Comprehensive integration with the 'vim' editor - A restricted shell for 'ssh'-hosted repositories - An importer for 'darcs' repositories New hooks added: - 'preupdate' is run before an update or merge in the working directory. - 'update' is run after an update or merge in the working directory. Behaviour changes: - NOTE: Mercurial as installed by the Windows binary installer no longer performs automatic line-ending conversion for Unix/Linux compatibility. To re-enable this feature, edit your 'mercurial.ini' file after you upgrade. - The Windows binary installer now automatically adds 'hg' to your '%PATH%'. - The 'backout' command now runs an editor by default, to let you modify the commit message for a backed-out changeset. - An earlier problem with parsing of tags has been fixed. This makes tag parsing slower but more reliable. Memory usage and performance improvements: - The 'remove' command has been rewritten to be hundreds of times faster in large repositories. - It is now possible to 'clone' a repository very quickly over a LAN, if the server is configured to allow it. See the new 'server' section in the 'hgrc' documentation. Other changes of note: - Mercurial will now print help for an extension if you type 'hg help EXT_NAME'. - The usual array of bug fixes and documentation improvements. - The integrated web server is now more WSGI-compliant. - Work has begun to solidify Mercurial's API for use by third-party packages. 2006-05-10 v0.9 * Major changes between Mercurial 0.8.1 and 0.9: - The repository file format has been improved. - This has resulted in an average 40% reduction in disk space usage. - The new format (called RevlogNG) is now the default. - Mercurial works perfectly with both the old and new repository file formats. It can transfer changes transparently between repositories of either format. - To use the new repository format, simply use `hg clone --pull` to clone an existing repository. - Note: Versions 0.8.1 and earlier of Mercurial cannot read RevlogNG repositories directly, but they can `clone`, `pull` from, and `push` to servers that are serving RevlogNG repositories. - Memory usage has been improved by over 50% for many common operations. - Substantial performance improvements on large repositories. - New commands: - 'archive' - generate a directory tree snapshot, tarball, or zip file of a revision - Deprecated commands: - 'addremove' - replaced by 'add' and 'remove --after' - 'forget' - replaced by 'revert' - 'undo' - replaced by 'rollback' - New extensions: - Bugzilla integration hook - Email notification hook - Nested repositories are now supported. Mercurial will not recurse into a subdirectory that contains a '.hg' directory. It is treated as a separate repository. - The standalone web server, 'hg serve', is now threaded, so it can talk to multiple clients at a time. - The web server can now display a "message of the day". - Support added for hooks written in Python. - Many improvements and clarifications to built-in help. 2006-04-07 v0.8.1 * Major changes from 0.8 to 0.8.1: - new extensions: mq (manage a queue of patches, like quilt only better) email (send changes as series of email patches) - new command: merge (replaces "update -m") - improved commands: log (--limit option added), pull/push ("-r" works on specific revisions), revert (rewritten, much better) - comprehensive hook support - output templating added, supporting e.g. GNU changelog style - Windows, Mac OS X: prebuilt binary packages, better support - many reliability, performance, and memory usage improvements 2006-01-29 v0.8 * Upgrade notes: - diff and status command are now repo-wide by default (use 'hg diff .' for the old behavior) - GPG signing is now done with the gpg extension - the --text option for commit, rawcommit, and tag has been removed - the copy/rename --parents option has been removed * Major changes from 0.7 to 0.8: - faster status, diff, and commit - reduced memory usage for push and pull - improved extension API - new bisect, gpg, hgk, and win32text extensions - short URLs, binary file handling, and optional gitweb skin for hgweb - numerous new command options including log --keyword and pull --rev - improved hooks and file filtering 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications * New INI files have been added to control Mercurial's behaviour: System-wide - C:\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini Per-user - C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Mercurial.ini A default version of the system-wide INI file is installed with Mercurial. No per-user INI file is installed, but it will be honoured if you create one. * Windows line endings are now handled automatically and correctly by the update and commit commands. See the INI file for how to customise this behaviour. * NOTE: Much of the rest of the Mercurial code does not handle Windows line endings properly. Accordingly, the output of the diff command, for example, will appear huge until I fix this. * Packaged text files now have correct Windows line endings. 2005-09-21 v0.7 with modifications * This is the first standalone release of Mercurial for Windows. * I believe it to be mostly functional, with one exception: there is no support yet for DOS <-> Unix line ending conversion.
