hg debugbuilddag [OPTION]... [TEXT]

builds a repo with a given DAG from scratch in the current empty repo

The description of the DAG is read from stdin if not given on the command line.

Elements:

  • "+n" is a linear run of n nodes based on the current default parent
  • "." is a single node based on the current default parent
  • "$" resets the default parent to null (implied at the start); otherwise the default parent is always the last node created
  • "<p" sets the default parent to the backref p
  • "*p" is a fork at parent p, which is a backref
  • "*p1/p2" is a merge of parents p1 and p2, which are backrefs
  • "/p2" is a merge of the preceding node and p2
  • ":tag" defines a local tag for the preceding node
  • "@branch" sets the named branch for subsequent nodes
  • "#...\n" is a comment up to the end of the line

Whitespace between the above elements is ignored.

A backref is either

  • a number n, which references the node curr-n, where curr is the current node, or
  • the name of a local tag you placed earlier using ":tag", or
  • empty to denote the default parent.

All string valued-elements are either strictly alphanumeric, or must be enclosed in double quotes ("..."), with "\" as escape character.
