Help: export
hg export [OPTION]... [-o OUTFILESPEC] [-r] REV...
dump the header and diffs for one or more changesets
Print the changeset header and diffs for one or more revisions.
The information shown in the changeset header is: author, date, branch
name (if non-default), changeset hash, parent(s) and commit comment.
Note:
export may generate unexpected diff output for merge changesets, as it
will compare the merge changeset against its first parent only.
Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file is given using
a format string. The formatting rules are as follows:
"%%" literal "%" character
"%H" changeset hash (40 hexadecimal digits)
"%N" number of patches being generated
"%R" changeset revision number
"%b" basename of the exporting repository
"%h" short-form changeset hash (12 hexadecimal digits)
"%m" first line of the commit message (only alphanumeric
characters)
"%n" zero-padded sequence number, starting at 1
"%r" zero-padded changeset revision number
Without the -a/--text option, export will avoid generating diffs of files
it detects as binary. With -a, export will generate a diff anyway,
probably with undesirable results.
Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff format.
See "hg help diffs" for more information.
With the --switch-parent option, the diff will be against the second
parent. It can be useful to review a merge.
Examples:
- use export and import to transplant a bugfix to the current branch:
hg export -r 9353 | hg import -
- export all the changesets between two revisions to a file with rename
information:
hg export --git -r 123:150 > changes.txt
- split outgoing changes into a series of patches with descriptive names:
hg export -r "outgoing()" -o "%n-%m.patch"
Returns 0 on success.
