The transaction gets rolled back by its destructor. This is critical
so it happens whenever an exception occurs that unwinds the stack.
Unfortunately, what's happening with clone is we're trying to delete
the directory during exception propagation. And a reference to the
transaction is held in the exception backtrace stack frames so it
still exists until the exception is completely resolved.
So there's no way to do the directory delete inside the exception
handling cleanly.
But we can handle it similarly to the transaction itself: use an
object with a destructor.

MERCURIAL QUICK-START
Setting up Mercurial:
Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by
default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C
compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3.
First, unpack the source:
$ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz
$ cd mercurial-<ver>
To install system-wide:
$ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default
To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run:
$ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~
$ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # (or lib64/ on some systems)
$ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # add these to your .bashrc
And finally:
$ hg # test installation, show help
If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set
PYTHONPATH correctly.
Setting up a Mercurial project:
$ cd project/
$ hg init # creates .hg
$ hg status # show changes between repo and working dir
$ hg diff # generate a unidiff
$ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files
$ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry
$ hg export <rev> # export a changeset as a diff
Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your
repository contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file
paths.
Mercurial commands:
$ hg help [command] # get online help
$ hg history # show changesets
$ hg log Makefile # show commits per file
$ hg update # check out the tip revision
$ hg update <id> # check out a specified changeset
# IDs can be tags, revision numbers, or unique
# subsets of changeset hash numbers
$ hg add foo # add a new file for the next commit
$ hg remove bar # mark a file as removed
$ hg verify # check repo integrity
$ hg tags # show current tags
$ hg annotate [files] # show changeset numbers for each file line
Branching and merging:
$ cd ..
$ mkdir linux-work
$ cd linux-work
$ hg init ../linux # create a new branch
$ hg update # populate the working directory
$ <make changes>
$ hg commit
$ cd ../linux
$ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work
$ hg update -m # merge the new tip from linux-work into
# our working directory
Importing patches:
Fast:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg addremove
$ hg commit
Faster:
$ patch < ../p/foo.patch
$ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch`
Fastest:
$ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p
Exporting a patch:
(make changes)
$ hg commit
$ hg tip
28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190
$ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237
Network support:
# pull from the primary Mercurial repo
foo$ hg init
foo$ hg pull http://selenic.com/hg/
foo$ hg update # hg co works too
# export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface
foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80
# pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH
foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/
# merge changes from a remote machine
bar$ hg pull http://foo/
bar$ hg update -m # merge changes into your working directory
# Set up a CGI server on your webserver
foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi
foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults
Symbolic repository names:
Mercurial uses an options file called ~/.hgrc. To track locations
symbolically, add a section to it like this:
[paths]
main = http://selenic.com/hg
linux = http://www.kernel.org/hg/
