hg-copy(1)

Usage

hg copy [OPTION]... (SOURCE... DEST | --forget DEST...)

Overview

Mark dest as having copies of source files. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, the source must be a single file.

By default, this command copies the contents of files as they exist in the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the operation is recorded, but no copying is performed.

To undo marking a destination file as copied, use --forget. With that option, all given (positional) arguments are unmarked as copies. The destination file(s) will be left in place (still tracked). Note that hg copy --forget behaves the same way as hg rename --forget.

This command takes effect with the next commit by default.

Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.

Options

--forget: unmark a destination file as copied

-A, --after: record a copy that has already occurred

--at-rev <REV>: (un)mark copies in the given revision (EXPERIMENTAL)

-f, --force: forcibly copy over an existing managed file

-I,--include <PATTERN[+]>: include names matching the given patterns

-X,--exclude <PATTERN[+]>: exclude names matching the given patterns

-n, --dry-run

do not perform actions, just print output

[+] marked option can be specified multiple times
