Your new source file would now contain the bug, and unless you If you pulled and merged my changes, and Mercurial Have started hacking on your copy of the file. Without knowing about the bug or having seen the fix, and you Meanwhile, you've decided to hg copy the file in your repository, Say I make an important bug fix in a source file, and commit The reason that Mercurial does this is as follows. Propagate across a copy as long as the changeset that you're

The second thing to know is that modifications will only Subsequently modify the original file during the normal course Propagating out to copies of the file-might seemД®soteric, but in most cases it's highly desirable.ДЇirst of all, remember that this propagation (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)Д files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved my-copyДЄdded 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads) Repository, and merge the two heads, Mercurial will propagate your-copy $ echo 'new contents' > file $ hg commit -m 'Changed file' We'll add a line of content to the original file Now, back in the repository we cloned, let's make a change Output: this is the file that our newly-added file was copied $ hg statusД«ut if we pass the -C option to hg status, it prints another line of Status command afterwards, the copied file looks $ hg clone my-copy your-copyД«ack in our initial repository, let's use the hg copy command to make a copy of Parallel, so that we'll have something to merge. $ hg init my-copy $ cd my-copy $ echo line > file $ hg add file $ hg commit -m 'Added a file' Tiny repository that contains a single file. What happens during a merge is that changes Simply create one in your automated build scripts before they $ hg clone hidden-example tmpДЎ files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolvedДЄnother way to tackle a need for an empty directory is to $ hg init hidden-example $ cd hidden-example $ mkdir empty $ touch empty/.hidden $ hg add empty/.hidden $ hg commit -m 'Manage an empty-looking directory' $ ls empty $ cd.

Systems, any file name that begins with a period If you need an empty directory in your repository, thereДЄre a few ways to achieve this. That the complexity that would be required to manage emptyДirectories was not worth the limited benefit this feature Unintrusive workarounds that you can use to achieve anДЄppropriate effect.

Trivial distinction, but it has one minor practicalД¬onsequence: it is not possible to represent a completelyД®mpty directories are rarely useful, and there are Before creating a file, itДЇirst creates any missing directory components of the path.ДЄfter it deletes a file, it then deletes any empty directories Mercurial does not track directory information. This behavior is common to most Mercurial commands. This makes it more clear what is happening,ДЄnd reduces the likelihood of a silent and nasty surprise. That Mercurial makes in such cases is that we know what weДЄre doing, and it doesn't print any output.ДЇiles by giving the name of a directory, Mercurial takes theД®xtra step of printing the name of each file that it does Named the file to add on the command line. What's going on is that in the former case, we explicitly We added the file named myfile.txt in the The names of the files it added, whereas it didn't do so when Notice in this example that Mercurial printed $ hg commit -m 'Added all files in subdirectory' $ mkdir b $ echo b > b/somefile.txt $ echo c > b/source.cpp $ mkdir b/d $ echo d > b/d/test.h $ hg add b Will treat this as вЂњ I want to operate on every file in The name of a directory to a command, every Mercurial command To track the changes you make to the file every time you commit,ДЄ useful behavior that Mercurial has is that if you pass State the next time you perform a commit. Instead, it will take a snapshot of the file's Once you add a file, Mercurial doesn't do anything with it (You can still get this information we'll return to

That contains thousands of files, you will rarely want to knowДЄbout files that Mercurial is tracking, but that have notД¬hanged. вЂњ interestingвЂќ files-those that you have (forД®xample) modified, removed, or renamed. The reason for this is that by default, hg status only tells you about The files that you added before the commit will no longer be $ hg commit -m 'Added one file' $ hg status $ hg init add-example $ cd add-example $ echo a > myfile.txt $ hg status To tell Mercurial to track a file, use the hg add command. Status command will tell you which files Mercurial Mercurial does not work with files in your repository unless
