Purge extension

This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.

Author: Marco Barisione

This extension purges all files an directories not being tracked by Mercurial in the current repository.

It'll remove unknown files and empty directories by default. With the --all option, it will also remove ignored files.

It keeps added files and (unmodified or modified) tracked files.

Just add a new entry in the extensions section of the mercurial configuration file (hgrc):

[extensions]
hgext.purge=
#or, if purge.py not in the hgext dir:
#purge=/path/to/purge.py

To purge the repository contents:

hg purge

To list the files that would be removed by running the previous command use it with the --print option:

hg purge --print
