Put to your ~/.hgrc:

  [ui]

  ; Editor for editing commit message.

  editor = gvim

  ; Who commit.

  username = Oleksandr Gavenko <gavenkoa@gmail.com>

  ; Use internal merge algorithm, which mark conflict like <<<<<< ====== >>>>>>.

  ; Save previous file version in '*.orig' file, after merge must be marked as

  ; resolved by running 'hg resolve -m <file>'.

  merge = internal:merge

  [web]

  ; Default encoding for file hosted by 'hg serv'.

  encoding = utf-8

** Useful extension.

Put to your ~/.hgrc:

  [extensions]

  ; To allow fetch command.

  fetch =

  ; To allow Mercurial Queues.

** Multiline log message for log command.

By default 'hg log' show only first line of log message. To see all message run:

  $ hg log -v

or put into ~/.hgrc:

  [defaults]

  log = -v

** Follow history ever when file copied.

By default 'hg log' show only history after last file copy. To see log message

before copying run:

  $ hg log -f

or put into ~/.hgrc:

  [defaults]

  log = -f

* Manage patches with MQ.

First enable MQ, add following to your ~/.hgrc:

  [extensions]

  hgext.mq =

Second get unpatched sources and put it to hg repository:

  $ tar zxf proj-x.y.z.tar.gz

  $ mv proj-x.y.z proj

  $ cd proj

  $ hg init

  $ hg ci -m "Added x.y.z version of proj."

Init MQ and take name for first patch:

  $ hg qinit

  $ hg qnew first.patch

Next make changes by editing source and save it to patch:

  $ $EDITOR file.c

  ...

  $ hg diff

  ...

  $ hg qrefresh

  $ hg diff      # <-- have zero diff

You can make second patch by applying existing one:

  $ hg qnew second.patch

  $ patch -p1 <bugfix.patch

  $ hg qrefresh

You can take list of patches (from old to new) and revert or apply patches by

qpop/qpush command:

  $ hg qseries   # <-- what patches have

  first.patch

  second.patch

  $ hg qapplied  # <-- what patches applied

  first.patch

  second.patch

  $ hg qpop

  $ hg qseries

  first.patch

  second.patch

  $ hg qapplied

  first.patch

You can revert or apply all patches by single command:

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ hg qpush -a

You can delete patch from patch list (before that you need de-apply patch):

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ hg qdelete first.patch

To add new version of source and fix patches for it first de apply patches,

then pull new changes and try apply patches on top of new sources:

  $ hg qpop -a

  $ rm *       # .hg dir not deleted because its name start with dot

  $ cd ..

  $ tar zxf proj-a.b.c.tar.gz

  $ cp -R proj-a.b.c/* proj

  $ cd proj

  $ hg addremove -s 70

  $ hg ci -m "Added a.b.c version of proj."

  $ hg qpush -a

To apply series of already done patches use:

  $ ls /path/to/bugfixes/*.patch | xargs hg qimport

* Proxy.
