TortoiseHg will support this extension in it's next feature release.
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
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).
