Remote Update

This extension is not distributed with Mercurial.

Author: Ryan Seto

Repository: http://bitbucket.org/MrWerewolf/rupdate

TortoiseHg supports this extension in version 2.1 or better.

Overview

Remote Update is an extension for Mercurial (Hg) that adds the ability to update a remote repository's working directory to a specified revision if the remote repository is hosted via ssh.

This can help simplify the process for maintaining a website that is a Mercurial repository with it's own working directory.

Configuration

Configure your .hgrc or mercurial.ini to enable the extension by adding the following lines:

[extensions]
rupdate = /path/to/rupdate

Note: Your /path/to/rupdate should be the path to the folder that you copied the extension to.

Usage

hg rupdate [OPTIONS] [-d DEST] REV

To update the default remote repository to revision e9e4e6afc30a:

To update the default remote repository to revision 11.

hg rupdate e9e4e6afc30a

Options

-p, --push

  • Performs a push to the remote repository before updating it. If you have not setup passwordless authentication you will be asked for a password more than once.

-f, --force

  • This will perform the equivalent of hg push --force when pushing. This only has an effect if the --push option is used.

--new-branch

  • This will perform the equivalent of hg push --new-branch, allowing new branchs to be pushed. This only has an effect if the --push option is used.

-C, --clean

  • Discards uncommited remote changes (no backup). This is equivalent to running hg update --clean on the remote location.

-d DEST, --dest DEST

  • Specifies the remote location to update. This can be an alias or a full ssh:// path.

-r REV, --rev REV, REV

  • Secifies the revision to update to on the remote location. You can use the same format that you would with hg update REV. This means REV can be a branch name or a tag name.

    Note: It is dangerous to use the revision number. To update a specific revision, use unique identifier (hash code).
