= Merge Changeset =

A '''merge changeset''' is a [[ChangeSet|changeset]] with two parents.

A merge changeset is created by doing a '`hg merge`' followed by a '`hg commit`' (see [[Merge]], [[Cmd:commit]]).

Don't use '`hg export`' to transfer merge changesets between [[Repository|repositories]].

Example of a merge changeset found in the Mercurial repository: http://selenic.com/repo/hg/rev/65f1b97484be (see [[DeveloperRepos]]):

{{{
