A tag is a symbolic identifier for a [:ChangeSet:changeset]. It can contain any characters except ":" (colon), "\r" (Carriage Return) or "\n" (Line Feed).

Mercurial has two kinds of tag.

  • A local tag is a convenience identifier that is not revision controlled, does not propagate with other changes, and lives in the .hg/localtags file in a [:Repository:repository].

  • A "regular" tag (with no special specifier) is revision controlled, does propagate with other changes, and lives in the .hgtags file in a repository. (It is therefore possible to remove tags by editing .hgtags and committing the change - this being the nearest equivalent to cvs tag -d).
