1 Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more files |
|
2 at a time. |
|
3 |
|
4 By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended glob |
|
5 patterns. |
|
6 |
|
7 Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly. |
|
8 |
|
9 To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start it with |
|
10 ``path:``. These path names must completely match starting at the |
|
11 current repository root. |
|
12 |
|
13 To use an extended glob, start a name with ``glob:``. Globs are rooted |
|
14 at the current directory; a glob such as ``*.c`` will only match files |
|
15 in the current directory ending with ``.c``. |
|
16 |
|
17 The supported glob syntax extensions are ``**`` to match any string |
|
18 across path separators and ``{a,b}`` to mean "a or b". |
|
19 |
|
20 To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with ``re:``. |
|
21 Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository. |
|
22 |
|
23 Plain examples:: |
|
24 |
|
25 path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root |
|
26 of the repository |
|
27 path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name" |
|
28 |
|
29 Glob examples:: |
|
30 |
|
31 glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory |
|
32 *.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory |
|
33 **.c any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of the |
|
34 current directory including itself. |
|
35 foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo |
|
36 foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in any subdirectory of foo |
|
37 including itself. |
|
38 |
|
39 Regexp examples:: |
|
40 |
|
41 re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository |
