Working directory
The working directory is the top-level directory in a [:Repository:repository], in which the plain versions of files are available to read, edit and build. Files in the working directory are usually from the [:Tip:tip], but may be from older [:Revision:revisions], or modified and not yet [:Commit:committed].
A working directory has one or two [:Parent:parent] revisions. The parent revision or revisions will become the parent revisions of the new revision which will eventually be created by a commit of the [:LocalModifications:local modifications]. An [:Update:update] will change the parent revision, whereas a [:Revert:revert] will only modify the content of the working directory.
A working directory will only have two parent revisions as the result of a [:Merge:merge].
A [:NamedBranches:branch name] can be set for the working directory.
It’s useful to think of the working directory as "the [:ChangeSet:changeset] I’m about to commit".
Mercurial tracks various information about the working directory (see DirState).
