Evolve Extension
This extension is not distributed along with Mercurial releases
Author: Pierre-Yves David for Various company
(i) This extension enable and enhance the inprogress ChangesetEvolution work. See the dedicated page for details before using it.
Code repository: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/evolve/
1. Introduction
The evolve extension is an experimental implementation of the ChangesetEvolution concept. Most of its content has been moved into core except:
- additional history rewriting commands
- the evolve command to automatically solve troubles
- some user interface warning messages related to obsolete changeset troubles
![/!\](/moin-static/modernized/img/alert.png "/!\"){kind=small}
The evolve extension enables the ChangesetEvolution feature, changing some of Mercurial's default behavior.
- history rewriting commands do not strip changesets anymore; they make them obsolete.
- history rewriting commands will work on any changesets, possibly creating unstable changesets.
pull and push exchange obsolescence data with other evolve-enabled repositories - this may have a performance impact!
Current official Documentation: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/doc/evolution/
2. Additional Commands
- uncommit
- extracts changes from a commit into the working directory,
- fold
- gathers changes from multiple changesets into a single one,
- split
- dispatch changes from a single changesets into multiple one,
- prune
- discards changesets (using obsolescence markers),
- touch
- replaces a changeset with a different one containing the same payload, but with a different hash,
- prev
- moves to the parent of the current changeset,
- next
- moves to the child of the current changeset,
- evolve
- automatically resolves troubles affecting changesets
3. Additional UI Messages
- a warning is issued when the current working directory parent becomes obsolete
- a warning is issued when a command results in more troubled changesets
4. Setup
First you have to download the extension code. Pick a directory <dir> in your working environment, cd into that and clone evolve. Like this:
$ cd <dir> $ hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/evolve/
Then configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding the following lines (remember to replace <dir> with the path where you just cloned the extension):
[extensions] evolve = <dir>/evolve/hgext/evolve.py
We have various compatibility branch (check hg branches), but we recommend using evolve with the latest Stable mercurial version
