hg-notes

simple notes of mercurial

exporting patches for more than one commit

For last two rev:

hg export rev1 rev2

or

hg diff -r tip~4:tip for last 4 commits

Note: end commit rev no is not inclusive

or

hg export -r .^::.

.^ stands for the parent of the current commit or you can use rev no here

. stands for the current commit

:: is an operator that says give me all commits between the two ends, both inclusive

check out hg help revsets for more

hg export {multi} will spit out multiple discrete patches

Enabling extension just for the duration of one command

For example: To use purge without adding it ~/.hgrc

hg --config extensions.purge= purge
