Manifest

hg manifest

The manifest is the file that describes the contents of the repository at a particular changeset ID. It primarily contains a list of file names and revisions of those files that are present. The manifest ID identifies the version of the manifest that goes with a particular changeset. The manifest ID is a nodeid. Multiple changesets may refer to the same manifest revision.

A manifest describes the state of a project by listing each file and its nodeid to specify which version. Recreating a particular state means simply looking up its manifest and reconstructing the listed file versions from their revlogs. The manifest is conceptually a file. All of its versions, which collectively represent the entire project history, are stored in a revlog (see the file .hg/store/00manifest.d) and an associated index (.hg/store/00manifest.i).

A manifest looks something like this:

+The '''manifest''' is the file that describes the contents of the
[[Repository|repository]] at a particular [[ChangeSetID|changeset ID]].
It primarily contains a list of file names and [[Revision|revisions]] of
those files that are present. The manifest ID identifies the version of
the manifest that goes with a particular [[ChangeSet|changeset]].
The manifest ID is a [[Nodeid|nodeid]]. Multiple changesets may refer to
the same manifest revision.

A manifest describes the state of a project by listing each file and
its nodeid to specify which version.  Recreating a particular state
means simply looking up its manifest and reconstructing the listed
file versions from their [[Revlog|revlogs]].  The manifest is conceptually a
file.  All of its versions, which collectively represent the entire
project history, are stored in a revlog (see the file
{{{.hg/store/00manifest.d}}}) and an associated index ({{{.hg/store/00manifest.i}}}).

A manifest looks something like this:
