2. Overview
hg release [OPTIONS]
Automatize tasks to easily release and share a revision of a repository
The standard behaviour is to add a new tag to the repository by incrementing the last "versioning tag" (i.e. formatted like "[text][number].[number]'')
and then to create a gzipped tar archive of the versionned content. A file will be automatically added to the archive containing the created tag in order
to allow the final user to know the version os his static content.
options:
-r --rev Revision number to deal with (default: tip)
-M --major Indicates if this is a major release (otherwise will be a minor one)
--no-archive Don't create an archive for the release
--archive-path Gives the root path where the archive will be created (default: .)
--archive-prefix Prefix of the archive which will be created, you may want to give the convenient name of your project. If empty the name of the repository directory will be used.
--no-tag Don't create a new tag for the release, use the existing one (or the revision number if none) instead
--tag-prefix Prefix of the tag to be created, by default it will retrieve the prefix of the last commited tag, if none it will be "v"
--version-basename Basename of the file to be created in the archive to contain the tag string (default: version)
