== Option Names in Mercurial ==
For consistency, we try to use the same names for options throughout [[Mercurial]].

It's preferred if option names match those for other popular systems/programs with related features.

{{{
(for f in `hg debugcomplete`; do hg help $f ; done; hg help -v) | egrep "^(hg| -)"
}}}
