Diff for "Head"

Head

hg heads [-r REV] [REV]...

A head is a [:ChangeSet:changeset] with no children. The [:Tip:tip] is the most recently changed head. Other heads are recent [:Pull:pulls] into a [:Repository:repository] that have not yet been [:Merge:merged].

If you have just made a [:Commit:commit], that commit will be the tip. Alternately, if you have just pulled from another repository, the tip of that repository becomes the current tip.

Mercurial supports [:MultipleHeads:multiple heads] concurrently within a single repository.

    changesets. They are where development generally takes place and
    are the usual targets for update and merge operations.

    Branch heads are changesets that have a given branch tag, but have
    no child changesets with that tag. They are usually where
    development on the given branch takes place.
