Line 1: Line 1:
Starting with Mercurial version XXX there is a file `.hg/requires` which specifies the capabilities needed by a client to access this repository. It is a text file, where each line contains the name of a capability and optionally a parameter separated by a `=` character. Starting with Mercurial version 0.9.2 there is a file `.hg/requires` which specifies the capabilities needed by a client to access this repository. It is a text file, where each line contains the name of a capability and optionally (separated by a `=` character from the name) a list of parameters, each separated by a comma (`,`).

Currently there are only capabilities which don't need parameters.
