I see no documentation on how to do this in the docs.
hg shelve -l -p [name of shelf].
To get the shelves list one could use hg shelve -l.
Two ways:
hg unshelve --inspect --name [name-of-shelf]
cat .hg/shelves/[name-of-shelf]
Try, hg shelve --patch name — worked for me in Mercurial v 3.6.3

Emacs VC mode show changes in directory state but ignore MQ changes...
I want to remove patch from queue and apply it on working directory.
This is possible with usual patch command, but it require passing some arguments and paths to utilities (which is inconvenient as not all environment allow autocompletion).
I expect hg built-in solution. Ideally - to move patch to shelve.
Moving changes from MQ to working tree and forgetting it:
$ hg qgoto my.patch
$ hg qpop
$ hg qdel --keep my.patch
$ patch -p1 .hg/patches/my.patch
$ rm .hg/patches/my.patch
In Emacs to see difference in top MQ patches I find command C-u C-x v D qparent RET qtip RET which is:
$ hg diff -r qparent:qtip
or shorter:
$ hg diff -r qparent
or:
$ hg qdiff
but latest command doesn't present in Emacs VC mode.
This is almost exactly a duplicate of Examining a single changeset in Mercurial, and without doubt a duplicate of another question I can't find on SO through Google alone.
I'm looking back through a Mercurial repo, and I want to see what exactly changed between two revisions (let's say 2580 and 2581):
hg log -v -r 2581
gives me all the files that changed.
How can I also see the diffs of these files?
Thanks.
Revision 2580 isn't necessasrily the parent revision of 2581. It's easy to check if it is, of course, but easier yet is to just do:
hg log -p -r 2581
That compares 2581 to its (first) parent revision no matter what it is, and most clearly encompasses the answer to the question "what the hell did 2581 do?"
Try hg diff -r 2580 -r 2581.
hg diff -r 2580 -r 2581
This is a wrong example. The revision 2580 can be in another branch and you get diff between two branches.
Use
hg log -p -r 2581
or hg diff -c 2581
The difference between them in the first lines. Hg log also show information about changeset (parent, author, date, ...)
I prefer second variant hg diff -c ... because it can store to patch files.
hg diff -c 2581 > revision_2581.patch
Another solution is to use revset notation which IMO is a better solution as you can use it in more places consistently (ie you don't need to know about diff -c and log -p ).
hg diff -r 'last(ancestors(2581),2)'
Yes that is rather verbose compared to -c (for diff) and -p (for log).
However mercurial allows you to create revset aliases
In your .hgrc:
[revsetalias]
next(s) = descendants(s, 1)
prev(s) = last(ancestors(s),2)
Now you can do
hg diff -r 'prev(2581)'
hg log -r 'prev(2581)'
Because I used to always do
hg vdiff -r -2:-3
hg vdiff -r 5213:5212
are all the hg commands exactly the same using those, vs using
hg vdiff -c -2
hg vdiff -r 5213
?
The -c option means changes introduces by this revision, so hg foobar -c 23 is the same as hg foobar -r22:23 if 22 is the first parent of 23. When 22 and 23 are not in a parent0-child relationship, you get the diff of two random changesets.
Use hg help revisions to see all the various ways you can specify revisions, which should work with all subcommands.
Turns out there is no hg qfold -a.
I tried hg qfold $(hg qunapp) and hg qunapp | xargs hg qfold but couldn't get it to work. Any ideas?
With your xargs approach, did you remember that qfold only folds unapplied patches into an applied patch? This worked for me (Windows) to fold all patches into the first patch:
hg qpop -a # remove all patches
hg qpush # apply first one
for /f %i in ('hg qunapplied') do hg qfold %i # fold remaining patches
Hmm... we could add a -a flag... But until we do, I would use the histedit or collapse extensions or maybe just do it myself:
$ hg update qparent
$ hg revert --all --rev qtip
$ hg commit -m 'Everything in one commit'
$ hg qpop -a
You then need to remove the patches -- perhaps you can just remove .hg/patches entirely, or you can delete some of them and edit .hg/patches/series to match.
hg qunapp | xargs -I'{}' hg qfold '{}'
In Mercurial it's possible to hg status only the modified/added/removed files by doing:
hg st -m
hg st -a
hg st -r
Is it possible to obtain the same behaviour for the diff command? From the man page, it seems not.
One option would be to use something like this:
hg status -mar --no-status | xargs hg diff
The --no-status flag insures that just the file name is sent to STDOUT.
