252 This distinction is important. If you send someone an email talking
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432

253 about ``revision~33'', there's a high likelihood that their
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432

254 revision~33 will \emph{not be the same} as yours. The reason for this
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
255 is that a revision number depends on the order in which changes
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432

256 arrived in a repository, and there is no guarantee that the same

300 Let's take a brief break from exploring Mercurial commands to discuss
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
301 a pattern in the way that they work; you may find this useful to keep
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
302 in mind as we continue our tour.
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st

diff changeset
303
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
304 Mercurial has a consistent and straightforward approach to dealing
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
305 with the options that you can pass to commands. It follows the
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
306 conventions for options that are common to modern Linux and Unix
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
307 systems.
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
308 \begin{itemize}
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
309 \item Every option has a long name. For example, as we've already
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
310 seen, the \hgcmd{log} command accepts a \hgopt{log}{--rev} option.
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
311 \item Most options have short names, too. Instead of
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
312 \hgopt{log}{--rev}, we can use \hgopt{log}{-r}. (The reason that
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
313 some options don't have short names is that the options in question
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
314 are rarely used.)
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
315 \item Long options start with two dashes (e.g.~\hgopt{log}{--rev}),
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
316 while short options start with one (e.g.~\hgopt{log}{-r}).
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
317 \item Option naming and usage is consistent across commands. For
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
318 example, every command that lets you specify a changeset~ID or
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
319 revision number accepts both \hgopt{log}{-r} and \hgopt{log}{--rev}
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
320 arguments.

323 long. This just reflects my own preference, so don't read anything

332 Now that we have a grasp of viewing history in Mercurial, let's take a
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
333 look at making some changes and examining them.
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost

diff changeset
334
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
335 The first thing we'll do is isolate our experiment in a repository of
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
336 its own. We use the \hgcmd{clone} command, but we don't need to
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
337 clone a copy of the remote repository. Since we already have a copy
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
338 of it locally, we can just clone that instead. This is much faster
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
339 than cloning over the network, and cloning a local repository uses
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
340 less disk space in most cases, too.

2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
342 As an aside, it's often good practice to keep a ``pristine'' copy of a
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
343 remote repository around, which you can then make temporary clones of
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
344 to create sandboxes for each task you want to work on. This lets you
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
345 work on multiple tasks in parallel, each isolated from the others
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
346 until it's complete and you're ready to integrate it back. Because
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
347 local clones are so cheap, there's almost no overhead to cloning and
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
348 destroying repositories whenever you want.

2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st

350 In our \dirname{my-hello} repository, we have a file
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost

351 \filename{hello.c} that contains the classic ``hello, world'' program.

352 Let's use the ancient and venerable \command{sed} command to edit this
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost

353 file so that it prints a second line of output. (I'm only using
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
354 \command{sed} to do this because it's easy to write a scripted example
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
355 this way. Since you're not under the same constraint, you probably
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost

356 won't want to use \command{sed}; simply use your preferred text editor to

541 prospect. Mercurial provides the \hgcmd{incoming} command to tell us
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
542 what changes the \hgcmd{pull} command \emph{would} pull into the

551 \hgcmd{pull} command, and telling it which repository to pull from.

diff changeset
558
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
559 We have so far glossed over the relationship between a repository and
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
560 its working directory. The \hgcmd{pull} command that we ran in
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
561 section~\ref{sec:tour:pull} brought changes into the repository, but
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
562 if we check, there's no sign of those changes in the working
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
563 directory. This is because \hgcmd{pull} does not (by default) touch
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
564 the working directory. Instead, we use the \hgcmd{update} command to
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
565 do this.
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st

567
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
568 It might seem a bit strange that \hgcmd{pull} doesn't update the
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
569 working directory automatically. There's actually a good reason for
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
570 this: you can use \hgcmd{update} to update the working directory to
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
571 the state it was in at \emph{any revision} in the history of the
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432

572 repository. If you had the working directory updated to an old

jerojasro@localhost

573 revision---to hunt down the origin of a bug, say---and ran a
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
574 \hgcmd{pull} which automatically updated the working directory to a
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
575 new revision, you might not be terribly happy.

2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
578 Mercurial lets you combine the two by passing the \hgopt{pull}{-u}

583 If you look back at the output of \hgcmd{pull} in
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost

584 section~\ref{sec:tour:pull} when we ran it without \hgopt{pull}{-u},
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432

585 you can see that it printed a helpful reminder that we'd have to take
2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost

586 an explicit step to update the working directory:

2fb78d342e07 changed es/Leame.1st
jerojasro@localhost
parents: 432
diff changeset
598 just the same way; this is the changeset that the working directory
